Flash Metrics: How High Speed, Persistent Storage Impacts Application Performance | VMworld 2010
In this VMWorld 2010 segment, SiliconAngle.com's John Furrier is speaking to David Flynn, CEO of Fusion-io. The men are discussing how high speed, persistent storage impacts application performance. John compares application performance to having "RAM in a PC back in the old days", and poses a question to David Flynn "What are you seeing from your business that you are disrupting and some proof points around those new things?" David explains that it spans such a huge spectrum that it proves to be the "Fundamental new building block" in the database world, adding, "it impacts and will (continue to) impact everything in the entire data center". A key example of this would be, "in the database world, it typically means that a database server can do about ten times the throughput for the same server"..."and those responses, the queries, are answered 30-40 percent faster"; giving way to faster page loads and more throughput per server.
