VDI Architectures using Storage Class Memory

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:45:42 +0000

There are so many disruptive VMware technologies in the VDI space that sometimes is hard to keep up with them all. I am looking forward to few of them, such as the VMware Distributed Storage and Space-Efficient Sparse Virtual Disks.

At same pace the storage industry is being transformed and now most storage solutions on the market are leveraging the performance of flash memory in it’s many form factors. Some vendors have Solid State Drives, other PCIe card devices, and other vendors utilize the PCIe cards in their scale-out solutions – but at the end of the day they are all using flash memory.

I am fortunate to work closely to vendors disrupting technology lifecycle, and often I get to test their technology. Last week I was provided with a FlashMAX II card from Virident. The Virident FlashMAX II is a Storage Class Memory (SCM) in a PCIe form factor with range in capacity from 550GB to 2.2 TB, in both MLC and SLC types of flash media.
