Pliant Lightning Enterprise Flash Drives Top 1M IOPS
According to Pliant Technology, its SSD-based Enterprise Flash Drives (EFDs), topped one million IOPS in a configuration with 16 drives. As mentioned in this InfoStor report, the testing also revealed that that configuration can produce 2.3 million IOPS with a 100 percent read stream and 512-byte blocks.
"The reaction from most people (including me) would be 'So what?' and/or 'Who the heck needs one million I/Os per second?' Its a legitimate response, because almost nobody needs that level of horsepower, even in the context of rapidly growing virtual server environments, multi-core processors, etc.
"But that was also the response when 10GbE, 8Gbps Fibre Channel, 6Gbps SAS, etc. came onto the scene. And we know how those technologies are doing. The fact is, end users need for speed is insatiable, and if you dont need it today you will tomorrow."
