Dave Vellante and John Furrier in the Cube at VMWorld 2010 hosts David Flynn, CEO of Fusion-io to discuss Fusion-io's philosophy as it pertains to designing flash products. Flynn's philosophy is to engineer solutions to optimize flash technology versus trying to emulate slower spinning disk drives.
Flynn explains why it is that flash drives should not be made to look and act as the old floppy disks we were all accustomed to, and what the benefits of the flash drive are over spinning disks, in spite of their cost increase. David Flynn even makes note of one company who tried to create flash on a floppy disk while still maintaining the integrity and use of the old disk drive, in order to keep cost down, and explains why that concept, as we all know, never took off.
