Improvement in solid state memory technology and dipping price points drive has bought Solid State Drives (SSDs) in demand. According to a recent research by IDC, performance and mobility-related requirements will propel SSDs revenues from US $373 million in 2006 to US $5.4 billion in 2011, a 71% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).
SSDs compliment Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), particularly in areas not well served by HDDs. According to Jeff Janukowicz, research manager of SSD, SSDs have sat on the fringe of the digital universe for a long time. However, tremendous opportunities lie ahead for SSDs storage. At present, SSDs aim at delivering a premium solution. As technology advances and requirements converge, it's expected to deliver the right solution to the right market.
Besides, IDC report mentions that enterprise solutions' focus on Input/Output (I/O) performance, as well as extremely hostile work environments will continue to be ripe opportunities for SSDs adoption.
The maturation of the computer environment in accordance with the emergence of more robust networks, online software services, hardware virtualization, more advanced computing power, and new hardware device form factors will provide various opportunities for SSDs in a changing ecosystem.
The SSD Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) will need to address concerns regarding read or write limitations and any associated reliability issues, especially for enterprise customers.
