HP Blades get Solid State Drives
Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) has chosen Samsung Electronics’ solid-state drives for the recently released HP ProLiant BL495c virtualization blade server, the company said this week.
HP will offer Samsung’s 32-GB and 64-GB single-level-cell SSDs in the blade, which is designed to host virtual machines. Samsung claims the use of its SSDs over hard disk drives makes it possible for HP to free up more physical space for memory chips to improve system performance. The BL495c has 16 DRAM sockets for a maximum of 128 GB of memory.
I wonder how long it will be before Solid State Drives become more mainstream in the rack server world? I’ll need to check it out, I know that you need to be careful in terms of the differences in performance between the solid state drives, but it would be interesting to see how quick and more efficient that DL360 would be with SSD drives?
