The convergence of physical and logical security isn't a new idea, but largely untapped by solution providers. Groups like 1nService and PSA Security are bringing these largely segmented channels together for this $7 billion market opportunity.
Intel has been putting a great deal of R&D into developing flash memory SSDs that will withstand the rigors of 24/7 data center server usage, heavy-duty client/server desktop and laptop use, and embedded applications. Intel is convinced that it has added enough storage capacity—up to 160GB—on these SSDs to more than handle enterprise duty.
SAN FRANCISCO—Intel has been
developing solid-state flash memory processors for as long as flash has been
around (20 years). But only on Aug. 19 at the Intel
Developer Forum here did the world's largest chip maker announce its
first-ever flash-based SATA drives for data storage.
Intel's High-Performance SATA (Serial ATA) solid-state drives are data storage
devices that use flash-based memory to store a computer's data, emulating—and even
replacing—hard
drives in some computers.
NAND flash memory, which has much faster read/write performance than
conventional disk drives, originated with Toshiba in the mid-1980s and forms
the core of the removable USB storage
devices known as USB flash drives, as well
as most memory card formats now available. Apple's iPod and iPhone are two of
the most currently successful commercial usages of NAND flash.
