Today’s performance-demanding applications, combined with initiatives such as virtualization and cloud computing, generate large I/O demand. Many data centers and enterprise corporations are turning to SSDs to help eliminate performance bottlenecks and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). SSDs vs. spinning disk hard drives have virtually no latency and respond almost instantly to I/O requests. These performance enhancements along with space, cooling and power savings make SSDs the obvious storage choice for today’s server environments.
