LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. (April 10, 2001) - Solid Data Systems, the leading provider of solid-state disk appliances for the Internet and digital communications markets, announced that Michael Casey, vice president of marketing for Solid Data Systems, will be presenting at the Storewidth 2001 conference in Laguna Niguel, California, April 10 to 12.
Storewidth is a concept defined by George Gilder, chairman of Gilder Publishing, LLC and editor of the Gilder Technology Report, in Housatonic, Mass., to describe the conversion of abundant bandwidth and heterogeneous petabytes into accessible information.
Conference attendees will learn how Solid Data's solid-state disk technology can turbocharge applications such as e-mail, wireless messaging and e-business databases. Casey will offer insights into how Solid Data's industry-leading solid-state disk appliances can multiply system performance and scalability, while dramatically reducing total cost of ownership.
"Many of the newest storage innovations address the need for high-bandwidth data access, primarily to enable rich content delivery," said Casey. "Solid-state solid-state disk appliances, however, meet the access requirements of transaction-based application servers that deliver e-business transactions and digital communications. I hope to share our excitement about growth in the solid-state disk market with conference attendees."
Attendees Will Learn How File Caching Multiplies e-Transaction Performance
At the conference, Casey will discuss how transaction-intensive applications,
such as e-mail, wireless messaging and e-business databases, often are I/O-limited
by a relatively small number of "hot files" - high-activity files that typically
constitute less than five percent of the total storage but account for more than
50 percent of all I/O traffic.
"Storage solutions based on magnetic disk drives are inherently limited by the speed of mechanical access technology," said Casey. "Solid-state disk provides a complementary storage capability in transaction-intensive applications -- and can even replace disk-based storage in applications such as e-mail and wireless messaging."
Solid Data's Excellerator™ products run on all major Unix and NT hardware platforms and support industry-standard SCSI and Fibre Channel interfaces.
