Yes, but that talks about Flash systems, and the end of the year. My concern
is whether Sun will also be releasing flash add-on cards that we can make use
of elsewhere, including on already purchased Sun kit.
Much as I'd love to see Sun add a lightning fast flash boosted server to their
x64
The problem with that is that I'd need to mirror them to guard against failure,
I'd loose storage capacity, and the peak throughput would be horrible when
compared to the array.
I'd be sacrificing streaming speed for random write speed, whereas with a PCIe
nvram card I can have my cake an eat
I'm not personally aware of any. The ioDrive from Fusion-io looks the most
promising, but it's a new product from a new company so it's likely to be a
while (if ever) before Solaris drivers appear. I've contacted them to ask
about Solaris drivers, but haven't had a response yet.

PS. I note on the Fusion-io web page that they're working with HP to
accelerate their servers. Would be nice if somebody from Sun could do the same
(or let us know if Sun are working on similar technology).

Hi,
Anyway, are there other devices out there that you would recommend to use as
a slog device, other than this nvram card, that would present similar
performance gains?
Not that this will get you similar performance
