Polling Question
Which of the following best describes your experiences with SSDs?❏ Read about flash but never bought an SSD
❏ Replaced computer HDD but not a server
❏ Been involved with one or two server SSD projects
❏ I work on SSD Implementations all the time

Understanding the Workload First
![Page 9: Three Keys To Choosing The Right Server Flash Webinar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557dddf8d8b42abf6c8b458a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Understanding the Workload
● Why?○ Enables optimal SSD selection○ Determines which software to
partner with○ Saves $$
● How?○ Empirical data○ Analytic Tools
■ Built into OS / App■ Third party software and hardware
● When○ Trending is Critical

Understanding How Enterprise SSDs (‘eSSDs’) Can Be Used
![Page 11: Three Keys To Choosing The Right Server Flash Webinar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557dddf8d8b42abf6c8b458a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Where Can eSSDs Be Used?
● Server○ By far most popular deployment
● Array○ Allows efficient SSD utilization○ Dedicated to array○ Most expensive to deploy○ May require network upgrade
● Network ○ Allows efficient flash utilization○ May require network upgrade○ Limited adoption - typically NAS only
![Page 12: Three Keys To Choosing The Right Server Flash Webinar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557dddf8d8b42abf6c8b458a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Server Side eSSDs
● Why Does Server Side eSSD Use Dominate?○ Very cost effective○ Surgical performance strike○ No network upgrade
● How Server eSSD can be Deployed○ SAS/SATA drive○ RAID controller○ PCIe drive or card FF
● Server Side eSSD Use Cases ○ Boot drives○ Cache (with software)○ Dedicated capacity

Selecting the Right Server eSSD Hardware
![Page 14: Three Keys To Choosing The Right Server Flash Webinar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557dddf8d8b42abf6c8b458a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Flash Within The eSSD
● Wear - Life Cycle Concerns○ SLC vs. MLC - Does it matter?○ What does matter in terms of wear?
● Reliability○ Are all flash drives/modules the
same?
● Which Interface Should You Pick○ Is it about more than just latency?
