Why is solid state disk a better choice than adding more memory to a server?
There are several reasons that a solid state disk might be a better solution than adding memory to a server. Here are some of those reasons: • The DSI solid state disk is non-volatile. The memory in your server is volatile meaning that it loses data if you lose external power. The DSI solid state disk preserves your data even if external power is lost. • The DSI solid state disk is external to the server. If your server reboots or crashes, you will lose all data in server memory. The DSI solid state disk is isolated from server instability and preserves data even if the server reboots. • The DSI solid state disk can be shared across multiple servers. The memory in your server can only be used by that server. The memory in a solid state disk can be shared across multiple servers simultaneously. • With solid state disk, you never have a cache miss. In normal operating modes, your server memory is only used to cache recently read data and is worthless for really random data accesses to la
