Using SSD to break the performance bottleneck of cloud computing data center

With the help of Moore's law and Intel's "tock" strategy, the server processing capability has been improved rapidly in recent years, and the computing power is getting stronger, which contrasts with the stagnation of the development of traditional storage technology. Storage performance optimization issues have long been a hot topic of concern for business operators and data center managers, and even the pain of performance in the entire data center and the computer world. As data centers evolve toward cloud computing centers, how do you address the storage bottlenecks in cloud computing data centers?

The traditional hard disk structure is limited by the Winchester principle, the rotation speed of the internal hard disk disc is not further improved by the laws of temperature and stability, and the reading and writing speed of the magnetic head and the seeking mode are optimized after continuous optimization (including 48-bit addressing, NCQ native instruction sequence, etc.). Constant read rate of around 120MB. Disk storage in today's massive data impact pressure, has faced huge storage bottlenecks, in the case of critical database applications is particularly serious.

Whether it's a SAN storage network or a CAS archive store, both the server side and the network side, there is a stage where SSDs can play a powerful performance advantage. For example, if you apply SSDs as a system startup disk, because the system startup process often involves a large number of small files small IO read and write, the application of SSD can also significantly improve the system's start-up speed, facing the database of high concurrency, high iops storage needs, solid-state hard disk (SSD) gives a perfect solution.

The leading X86 server technology and product change and innovation behind the Giants Intel, while pushing Moore's law to continue to move forward with the accumulation of the microelectronics semiconductor technology and production technology in the field, so the SSD flash chip is also handy. The next generation of enterprise-class products 710, 720 product specifications have been released this autumn IDF.
