Sun pushes SSDs in servers to reduce costs, improve performance

Sun has laid out more of its plans for using solid-state drives in its servers, which it says will help customers to reduce energy costs and improve application performance in the datacenter. The company is offering SSDs that customers can slide into their storage bays and, in the future, plans to integrate them onto the server motherboard itself to provide faster data access for I/O-intensive applications, said Michael Cornwell, lead technologist of flash memory at Sun.
