Seventy-Five Percent Cite Performance, Response Times for SSD Adoption While
Only One Percent See Competitive Edge as Compelling Reason to Deploy SSDs
BARCELONA, Spain, 2012-10-10 10:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Europe's adoption and deployment of solid-state drive (SSD) technology shows a
shift in enterprise storage - with a few surprises. A survey of 158 attendees
at VMworld Europe reveals that SSD technology is widely deployed in data
centers and adoption of it will increase in the region over the next year. At
the same time, respondents indicated that SSD is no longer regarded as a luxury
option, but as essential to enterprise storage, with emphasis placed on
increasing IOs per second (IOPS) and improving response times as the key
reasons to adopt the technology.
STEC, Inc., a leading global provider of SSD solutions, today released the
results of that survey, conducted onsite during the VMworld Europe conference
in Barcelona, Spain. Answers from surveyed attendees show that while very few
European companies view implementing SSDs as providing a competitive edge,
three in four say they are drawn to SSD technology because of a need for higher
IOPS and higher response times. These results are similar to those from a
recent survey on SSD adoption and deployment conducted at the VMworld
conference in the United States.
The VMworld Europe survey revealed:
-- 56% have SSDs deployed in their data centers, with 37% planning to add more
to their data centers in the next year
-- Just 1% believe SSDs provide a competitive advantage, while 73% cite higher
IOPS and response time as reasons to adopt SSDs
-- 59% identify databases as the application that will generate the most
demand for SSDs over the next year
'Throughout Europe, SSD technology is penetrating cloud and data-center
environments,' said Davide Villa, STEC's vice president of sales, EMEA. 'Our
VMworld Europe survey results reflect a rapid shift to SSDs as they become
central to business-critical storage.'
The survey was conducted throughout the first day of VMworld Europe, among a
cross-section of attendees whose professions range from end-users to
enterprise-system managers to chief information officers. Throughout the
conference, STEC will be demonstrating its SSD products at booth, #E713.
