How is SSD technology continuing to transform
the Client, Enterprise and the Commercial/Industrial segments ? What are the latest transitions of form
factors, interface, and performance for SSDs?
How are Hard Disk Drives being impacted by SSD adoption in the various segments; changing
storage architectures? What will the
landscape for the SSD market relative to the Hard Disk Drive market be in 5
years? Find out in this comprehensive
report which includes quarterly shipment and revenue data with forecast trends to
2018.
MONTEREY, CA., July 29, 2013 – Web-Feet Research, Inc. has analyzed the SSD
market from its infancy tracking this altering technology for the storage
industry. This 11th annual report on Solid
State Drives (SSD) Markets and Applications, (MS300SSD1-2013), Web-Feet Research (WFR) takes a detailed and comprehensive
view in analyzing the SSD technology, markets and applications SSDs will be
used in. In this report the Storage
hierarchy of SSDs in client, enterprise, and commercial/industrial applications
are examined. The foundation of memory
and storage and how it relates to magnetic and solid state storage is also
examined.
Although there is
an abundant amount of coverage on SSDs in blogs and other media. WFR differentiates its study by providing detailed
analysis of the client, commercial and enterprise
end use markets for SSDs and incorporates the analysis of Hard Disk Drive
storage for the same competing end use markets.
Detailed forecasts
for both SSD and Hard Disk Drive storage for these end use markets are provided.
Included are the technical and implementation challenges facing SSDs with respect
to: capacity, reliability, density, operating temperature, and mechanical ruggedness
as they relate to flash component
performance, cost and integration.
Flash cache for
client and enterprise applications is
analyzed with forecasts for client side computing. Quarterly shipment and revenue data is provide
by form factor with four years of historical data. Beyond the SSD drive subsystem, additional
parameters for the storage hierarchy are also examined:
