Abstract

Solid state storage (SSS) technology offers a quantum leap in the performance of storage technology. However, a broad spectrum of products and architectures are flooding the marketplace, each with very different performance characteristics. Users have no consistent method of measuring or comparing the performance of vendor offerings. The SNIA SSS Technical Working Group established a Performance subcommittee to help the market with solutions for this problem. If you are considering using SSS in your IT environment, this tutorial is a MUST ATTEND.

Learning Experiences

• The tutorial will begin by introducing the many of the SSS performance issues.
• Next, the tutorial will present the SSS TWG Performance Sub-committee’s recommendations for metrics and methodologies to use in measuring and evaluating SSS performance.
• Finally, the tutorial will discuss ways to apply the Sub-committee’s recommendations to gain a better understanding of the differences between vendor SSS offerings.
