Texas Memory Systems' RamSan solid state storage products can speed enterprise applications like databases, OLTP, OLAP, modeling and video editing up to 2500% without adding processors, RAM, hard drives and monolithic RAID. Solid state storage is similar to RAM cache. Unlike hard disk drives it does not use rotating media so data seeks are significantly faster. Because there are no drive heads to crash, solid state disks are also more reliable than typical hard drives. Typical RamSan users include corporations in the financial, telecom, broadcasting, and e-commerce sectors as well as government, military, and research organizations. "'The demand for solid state storage has been growing steadily in the past, especially in the government and defense markets. However it is thanks to ILM that sales of solid state disks have seen a spike in the past year," said Hamish Macarthur, founder and CEO of pan-European market research organization Macarthur Stroud International. "A sound ILM strategy, supporting tiered storage, is a highly cost-effective IT and business tool and solid state storage can be a key element of it." On 14th October Hamish Macarthur will be giving the opening keynote at Storage Expo in London where Woody Hutsell of Texas Memory Systems will be presenting a technical seminar on Wednesday 13th October at 14:45.
