Goodbye Hard Drives!! Put Five Hundred Full Length DVDs on Your Home ComputerEver thought you could store every DVD you own, or would likely ever buy, on a single card on your home computer? Would you like to have access to these movies (or any data) at 40 times the speed of most computer systems? A revolutionary new storage technology is about to hit the market, and it just might turn your ideas about hard drives upside down.
It is a Silicon-Based NAND Flash storage solution. It is a PCIe (x4) card that currently holds up to 640GB of solid state NAND Flash storage with a built-in controller. And that’s before they expand it to 1.2TB next year!
It's got 160 parallel channels to the flash chips and can do about 100,000 IOPS per card, with sustained reads of 700-800 MB/sec and sustained writes of up to 600 MB/sec. That's about 8-9 times faster than high performance Ultra SCSI disk and 40 times faster than Intel's SSD solid state drive. LEARN MORE > |

This is how Microsoft is hoping Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Microsoft Vista will be received. LEARN MORE > | How Do I Keep Up with the ''Jones's''?
Think back to the days of the early network. Remember when the greatest issue facing IT Departments was how to effectively monitor and track the configuration of systems, and how that configuration changes? Now with regulatory requirements and government issued mandates, keeping track of your desktops has become an even more daunting task. Even if you aren’t forced to do so, savvy IT managers want to know how their shop stacks up to others in their peer group, or rather, how do I keep up with the Jones’s?”
