John Dix, editor in chief of Network World

3PAR InServ goes solid

Much attention has been given to hybrid arrays that couple Solid State Drives (SSD) with rotating media. In fact, many industry experts are declaring the demise of high cost fibre channel drives as low cost Serial ATA drives (SATA), when coupled with a relatively small amount of SSD storage, can provide an extreme boost in performance at a relatively low cost. High end systems already have established the differential between Fibre Channel and SATA with tiering controls. 3PAR has about five years of experience in the autonomic processes involved in moving data between high cost drives and low cost drives. The newest InServ software option, coupled with enterprise class SSD’s, allows 3PAR customers to take advantage of the SSD speed without forklift replacements.
