George Bernard Shaw
The capacity optimized HDD dance
My organization plans to completely replace
HDDs and deploy SSD as primary storage:
Other
When SSDs are within 10% of the $/GB of HDDs
When SSDs are within 20% of the $/GB of HDDs

When SSDs are within 50% of the $/GB of HDDs
When SSDs are the same $/GB of HDDs
Never. It will always be more expensive than HDD and be
used only for applications which can justify the added cost

Driving SSD Adoption
My organization uses the following SSD
strategies (select all that apply):
47
Other (don't know)
Use server based SSD because it is closest to the
processor thus offering the absolute best performance
Add SSD to disk arrays because we trust our disk array
products and vendors, and we are familiar with how to
deploy and manage them
Use SAN based SSD arrays because the performance is
much better than disk-based SAN arrays and it can be
shared by all servers
Use disk-based storage because SSD is too expensive

IT Priorities: Protect
data and keep it flowing
The most important feature of an SSD for my
environment is:

Regarding the performance of SSD systems, I
believe (select all that apply):
61
Other (please specify)
Most SSD systems perform about the same because they
use the same flash memory
SSD systems performance differs mostly based on the flash
controller used in the system
SSD systems performance differs mostly based on drivers
and software that manage the flash in the storage system
The performance of SSD systems on the market vary a
little, but not a lot
The performance of SSD systems on the market are vastly
different

my organization's strategy for next generation storage to be:
73
Other
Migrate to 16Gb Fibre Channel
Default is migrate to 16Gb Fibre Channel until
we evaluate 40Gb Ethernet based storage to
validate performance and interoperbaility
Migrate to 40Gb Ethernet based storage because

Describe the "perfect" HDD for your Enterprise
server and storage systems:
84
• One that doesn't fail in say 8 - 10 years
and create less heat for the server room.

more read-write heads), low cost

My experience with SSD so far (all that apply):
86
Other
Managing an SSD is less hassle than managing HDD-based storage
I've had in the past.
My SSD has not performed as well as they said it would.
Managing an SSD is just as much hassle, if not more, than managing
HDD-based storage I've had in the past.
I estimate the total cost of ownership of my SSD is actually less than
my HDD-based storage.
So far my SSD systems have been less reliable or more reliable than
my HDD-based storage.
