Sun Microsystems and Intel White Paper Sample

By using Sun servers with Intel SSDs, applications are able to access the data they need at the speeds they demand, with only a slight decrease in response times for demanding applications. Additionally, the systems provide the I/O flexibility to support additional applications and growing workloads. The integration of SSDs into Sun servers also offers more efficient capital expenditures by virtue of enabling better utilization of server resources. The benefits extend to an organization’s storage systems as well: Lower storage TCO is realized since fewer drives are needed to meet performance needs. Specifically, since fewer drives are needed, companies save money that would have been spent to purchase new drives. They also lower operational costs those drives would have induced if they were installed. These lower costs include paying IT staff for management of the storage drives, warranties and service contracts to maintain the drives, and electricity to power and cool the storage systems.

All of these benefits translate into helping to reduce energy consumption, use less space requirements, significantly lower operating expenses, and increase operational efficiencies – which, when combined, can help enable your own organization to streamline its operations, boost time-to-insight for end-users, and grow the bottom line.
