If you've been reading the industry press, you're probably aware that enterprise flash made a lot of the top ten lists for 2008. Yes, EMC was out early in Jan of 2008 with availability, but during the year most storage vendors came around and grudgingly admitted that they'd be doing enterprise flash at some point.
While we're all waiting for the other vendors to deliver, you might be interested in several applied technology whitepapers EMC has recently published, showing the impact of enterprise flash drives on Oracle, Exchange and (soon) SQLserver.
Lots of juicy details to consume, and a few "aha" moments for all ... enjoy!
Oracle on Symmetrix using EFDs
Exchange on Symmetrix using EFDs
Exchange on CLARiiON using EFDs
General backgrounder on Symmetrix and EFDs.
I'll update this post in a bit when the SQLserver materials go up.
