IBM aims to turn its research into a solid-state storage system that it says will be several times faster than current disk arrays and available in as soon as 12 months. But rivals already are pushing their own SSD products out in the market. The system is based on research IBM is doing in the design of a controller for an array of flash memory cards, code-named Project Quicksilver. It will use Intel-based IBM System x servers running Linux, which the company also uses with its Fibre Channel disk arrays. The difference is the server will run using software optimized to squeeze higher performance out of flash memory, and the use of flash memory cards from Fusion-io.
