MAID is for Persistent Storage…not Transactional Storage:
The powering of disk drives is now being evaluated in the use cases that denote transactional storage models. I was recently asked to review and comment on a study that was conducted at the Penn State University. (You can find the paper here). The research is titled, “Interplay of Entergy and Performance for Disk Arrays ...

| Hybrid disk drives...part I |
| Friday, May 30th, 2008 |
|
This blog entry will be one of many on the topic of "hybrid" disk drives.
There will inevitably be the questions about utilizing flash memory as an option in storage systems surrounding… the cost ($/GB), the reliability (AFR, MTBF), the configuration settings (partitioning), not to mention the overall performance (IOPS, MB/s). I am sure more information will become available from the disk drive vendors as they get closer to delivery of "hybrid" disk drives (although the current information is for laptop usages it is a start).
How will the flash memory be used to solve storage ...

What does disk reliability and MAID have in common?
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the IDEMA (International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association) symposium regarding, “ Hard Disk and Solid State Drive Reliability – The Pursuit of Excellence“ . The symposium was represented by many of the industry “gurus” and contributors to the HDD and ODD community. I could not do the symposium justice by trying to summarize all the information in one blog entry. ...

| What do you mean by GREEN? |
| Thursday, March 20th, 2008 |

No matter how you say Green ...
Midori ? Japanese, Vert - French, Gr?n - German or 绿色 - Chinese,
datacenter managers are looking to save green...that would be the green associated with capital expenses and operating costs.
The real "Green" is found in savings associated with recouping and offsetting traditional data center costs and it's measured in...Yens, Pounds, Euros, Marks, and Dollars...
Datacenter ...

| The Advantages of "Post Processing" in Data Storage |
| Friday, January 25th, 2008 |
|
To date there has been much written and spoken about the MAID technology. The notable benefits of MAID technology are power savings, disk drive package density, extended reliability, and economics. Another feature and benefit of COPAN Systems' Enterprise MAID technology is the ability to apply "post processing" to long-term, persistent data.
The first objective of any MAID platform is to provide reliable access and archive of data onto a disk-based platform. Once the data ...
