OCZ Introduces New Solid State Drive That Clocks 80,000 IOPS: Page 2 of 2

OCZ Technology Group is introducing a new SATA III-based solid-state drive (SSD) that delivers 80,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS), 30,000 more IOPS than its predecessor. OCZ says the Deneva 2 line of SSDs is targeted at mission-critical enterprise applications, where fast reading and writing of data to and from storage is essential.

The Deneva 2 line is meant for enterprises struggling to control the "big data" that is overwhelming their organizations, says Kevin Wagner, VP of product management for enterprise solutions at OCZ.

"The problem that a lot of IT groups have to deal with is how to manage all of that data and how to provide the storage for that data," Wagner says. "There are a number of advantages to SSD over HDD in that environment. One of them is that you’re going to get much greater performance in terms of read-write access and throughput to get more data on and off of the drives."

Another advantage of SSD is that it can be phased into an enterprise's existing HDD environment, says Alex Mei, executive VP and chief marketing officer of OCZ. The OCZ Deneva 2 drives can be included in an enterprise’s tiered storage environment where they can work with FC/SAS HDDs, SATA HDDs or other storage formats.

"We really believe that SSD can work alongside hard drives. They can function well together, and that tiering model makes it a lot easier to deploy these solutions," Mei says.
