Seagate 1200 SAS SSD is Easy:
1200 SAS is BEST FIT for muti-host, complex workloads of enterprise applications
oSATA not keeping pace with increasing performance of SSDs
oPCIe is the future, but still considerable industry standards work to be done
1200 SAS is NOW –Approximately 300 million SAS slots installed in the industry in the past five
years
Seagate 1200 SAS for Virtual Server:
Seagate 1200 SAS outperforms Fusion-IO and is lower cost
Seagate 1200 SAS is easier to use and less expensive than PCIe
SAS used as a server side cache –increases VM density by 4X in VMware environments
Server side caching is optimal way to improve storage IO performance for virtualized servers
Seagate 1200 SAS for Database:
Seagate 1200 SAS outperforms Hitachi, Toshiba and Intel in recent head-to-head database
performance testing
Seagate 1200 SAS is compatible with virtually every SAS HBA, RAID card & chassis
Databases are used in every company, and SSD is proven to improve database performance.
Seagate 1200 SAS for Software Defined Storage:
Microsoft REQUIRES SAS for Micrsoft Server 2012, Release 2 -Storage Spaces High Availabilty
Seagate 1200 SAS best solution for SSD Tier –designed for multi-host environments
Bulding a storage array with best of breed solutions (Microsoft & Seagate) lower cost of
storage for the industry
SSD Can Alleviate Pain Points for:
Business Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Not Being Met, end users become frustrated with
slow systems
System Failed to Scale –As your business grows, storage systems don’t adequately scale
performance.
Networked Storage Bogged Down –Just adding SSD to your SAN/NAS only provides a modest
performance improvement, the network fabric latencies remain the challenge
SSD Solves System Bottlenecks in a Fraction of the Time and Costs Instead of:
Database Re-design and Testing
Adding More Servers & Networked Storage (and all the TCO overhead involved)
Re-architecting the Software Application
