Government processing speed boost

The makers of a new solid state disk claims to have doubled the capacity of its products to help its financial, telecom, broadcasting, government and military clients speed up their enterprise applications.

Texas Memory Systems has released its new RamSan-325 solid state disk in capacities of 128 gigabytes, 96 gigabytes, 64 gigabytes and 32 gigabytes, to allow intensive applications such as databases up to 2500 percent.

Applications such as online transaction processing, online analytical processing and data acquisition all benefit.

Randy Kerns, the senior partner at the Evaluator Group, said: "Increasingly, IT departments are using solid state disks strategically within their storage networks to accelerate critical database applications.

"Solid state disks are used alongside hard disk-based systems and are traditionally purchased for speed, not capacity. However, the growth of databases is now driving demand for speed which can be provided by high capacity solid state systems."

The advantage of the highest capacity RamSan-325 solid state systems is that it allows an organisation with large database files to store the entire file on a single logical unit number (LUN) instead of splitting the data across several systems.

Texas Memory Systems claims that high capacity systems are more efficient with the use of space, are easier to manage, and has more than three times the storage density of the closest competing solid state disk.
