When it comes to SSD based storage solutions for the enterprise, the issue that should be discussed is how to cost effectively achieve the right balance of both capacity and performance. While SSD is about performance, many vendors fail to simultaneously approach SSD with a reasonable focus on cost effectiveness, flexibility, and scalability. Doing so will create a stark contrast to many traditional arrays that use restricted numbers of premium units to offset architectural limitations.

This Taneja Group technology brief assess the challenges before SSD arrays, and takes a look at one solution – the EqualLogic PS6000s – that promises to deliver a tradition breaking approach that will make SSD granularly scale-out total array performance like few other solutions on the market.
