Solid State Drives (SSD) Markets and Applications Quarterly Series: 1Q 2011
Web-Feet Research, Jan 2011, Pages: 244
This 9th annual report on Solid State Drives (SSD) Markets and Applications, Web-Feet Research (WFR) takes a comprehensive view in analyzing the SSD technology, markets and applications SSDs will be used in. Storage hierarchy of SSDs in client, enterprise, and commercial/industrial applications are examined. The foundation of memory and storage and how it relates to magnetic and solid state storage is also examined in this report.
There is copious amount of coverage on SSDs in blogs and other media, WFR differentiates its study by providing detailed analysis of the client, commercial and enterprise end use markets for SSDs and incorporates the analysis of Hard Disk Drive storage for the same competing end use markets. Detailed forecasts for both SSD and Hard Disk Drive storage for these end use markets are provided. Included are the technical and implementation challenges facing SSDs with respect to: capacity, reliability, density, operating temperature, and mechanical ruggedness as they relate to flash component performance, cost and integration. Flash cache for client and enterprise applications is analyzed with forecasts for client side computing. SSD supplier profiles and SWOT analysis of over thirty companies are provided as well as quarterly shipment and revenue data.
Beyond the SSD drive subsystem, additional parameters for the storage hierarchy are also examined:
- Options and locations within the enterprise architecture to accelerate performance.
- PCIe SSDs vs SAS/SATA SSDs and Storage Appliances
- SSD and HDD Total Cost of Ownership Analysis
- Performance Requirements
- Power Consumption
- Energy Cost
- Acquisition Cost
- System Reliability
- Total Cost of Ownership for Enterprise Storage
- Direct Cost / Indirect Cost
- Where Total Cost of Ownership is Evaluated in Enterprise Applications
- Enterprise Usage models
The SSD study analyses the technology, markets and applications for SSDs in comparison with hard disk drives. It forecasts the quarterly evolution of the computing, consumer, and enterprise markets for SSDs, as well as the technical and commercial challenges SSDs are facing: cost, capacity, reliability, density, temperature range and mechanical ruggedness. Controllers both internal and external for the various types of SSDs are analyzed and forecast by enterprise and computing interface. Flash cache and other NVM caches are also compared and forecast for the enterprise and computing market applications. The annual report includes the SSD forecast out to 2016 and the quarterly report series provides quarterly SSD market shares and SWOT analyses.
