EMC Execs Look to Help Drive Down SSD Prices

摘要

Las vegas-EMC Corp. expects that its plan to spread solid-state technology through its high-end disk storage arrays will help cut the price of the technology and make it more attractive to IT executives. At the EMC World user conference here last week, top executives said they expect solid-state pricing to be comparable to that of high-performance Fibre Channel drives by 2011. "The price for flash is coming down significantly faster than rotating drives right now," said Dave Donatelli, executive vice president of storage platforms operations at EMC. "Our stated corporate goal is we're trying to drive it down as fast as we can."
