Closing the Performance Gap

Flash in Computing / Cloud Applications

Gap has caused significant design inefficiencies in Client and

Enterprise Systems

Client Inefficiencies

Slow boot & application response

Short battery life (additional DRAM / HDD)

Solving Design Inefficiencies

Enterprise / Cloud Inefficiencies Low server efficiency and more $ spent on SW

Poor application performance

Use of high-performance HDDs (more power)

Lower reliability: high disk count x low MTBF

means constant failures

Future requires more work at same power
