Regardless of which type is purchased, every SSD sale helps to accelerate the SSD solution concept into the mainstream user's mind-set. Flash SSDs have received a lot of media buzz, and for some customers it is the perfect solution. However, they simply won't cut it in demanding enterprise environments because of their limitations relative to write cycles durability, write performance, connectivity and device leveraging (multipathing), not to mention multi-bit error correction capability. Fortunately, SSD customers have plenty of options.

As the producer of the ultra-fast RAM SSD Solid Access USSD 200, we know that our USSD 200 solution is, for many applications, the most effective solution. It can process, via just one single FC port, 95,000 IOPS (read or write, random or sequential) and 55,000 IOPS via a single wide SAS port. For more than 2 years, it has been the only SAS-interface SSD available.

All of our customers could have deployed flash SSDs. Why didn't they? Because a thorough evaluation of their application issues and potential solutions led them to USSD 200. They did what every customer should do they paired a specific problem with the right solution.
