"Deni Connor's extensive background spans multiple IT disciplines and enables her to provide actionable feedback and thorough analyses which benefits QLogic, our global channel partners and our customers. I highly recommend SSG-NOW as a cost-effective IT consultancy that delivers high impact results."

Steve Zivanic,
Senior Director, QLogic

"Deni is fearless. As a reporter she never failed to objectively cover the prickliest of issues. As an analyst, we expect her to be one of the best."

John Dix, editor in chief of Network World

"SSG-NOW provides deep market knowledge coupled with a strategic, yet pragmatic approach. Deni's technology understanding is well matched with the skepticism of a former reporter - she drills down to relevant questions and quickly assesses the viability of a strategy or technology from an end-user's perspective."

Ursula Talley, vice president of marketing, StoredIQ

SSD Flash – February 2010

As predicted, the first quarter of 2010 is shaping up to be a major milestone in the solid state business. The big surprise was Intel-Micron’s 25 nanometer foundry demonstration. Readers of The SSD-FLASH know that we must use acronyms and code words for the various interfaces (Serial ATA [SATA], Serial Attached SCSI [SAS], iSCSI, Fibre Channel, PCIe, et al.) to describe and classify the many end products being developed using solid state memory technology. So we have included a brief description, along with some historic trivia and trade-offs, about each of these interfaces in this issue. In order to keep the information concise, we are just using the acronyms, so please refer to the article describing them in this and future issues.
