[san-tech][03181] NetApp Mercury: host-side flash caching for the datacenterへのコメント, The Register, 2011/06/17

Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 08:30:31 +0900
------------------------------------------------
The Registerで、FAST '11のポスターセッションで発表された NetAppの
Project Mercuryについてコメントしています:

"Welcome to the server flash cache sofa"
 17th June 2011
  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/17/netapp_project_mercury/

  "Comment NetApp is involved with storage array management of
   flash caches in app servers - witness its Project Mercury
   presentation at the FAST '11 conference at San Jose in February."
.....
  "The idea was to link a flash cache in the server to a shared,
   centrally-managed storage array so that virtual machines (VMs)
   and their storage could be moved between physical servers in
   a shared-pool datacentre without losing any I/O speed-up
   benefits from having a local flash cache."
