HP Tops Enterprise SSD Vendor List

Solid-state drive (SSD) technologies and high-speed memory are being openly embraced by the enterprise market. While adoption appears to be skyrocketing, the market will be hotly contested, according to a new study from Storage Strategies NOW (SSG-NOW).

Key applications for 2011 are headed by database, transactional structured data, followed closely by OTLP and high-performance computing applications. For 2012, data warehousing moves to the top of the list, followed by primary data, Tier 0 storage and business continuity and disaster recovery.
