  • PC Gamers Win Big
    CASE STUDY Intel® Solid-State Drives Performance, Storage and the Customer Experience PC Gamers Win Big Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs) deliver the ultimate gaming experience, providing dramatic visual and runtime improvements Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs) represent a revolutionary breakthrough, delivering a giant leap in storage performance. Designed to satisfy the most demanding gamers, media creators, and technology enthusiasts, Intel® SSDs bring a high level of performance and reliability to notebook and desktop PC storage. Faster load times and improved graphics performance such as increased detail in textures, higher resolution geometry, smoother animation, and more characters on the screen make for a better gaming experience. Developers are now taking advantage of these features in their new game designs. SCREAMING LOAD TiMES AND SMOOTH GRAPHICS With no moving parts, high reliability, and a longer life span than traditional hard drives, Intel Solid-State Drives (SSDs) dramatically improve the computer gaming experience. Load times are substantially faster. When compared with Western Digital VelociRaptor* 10K hard disk drives (HDDs), gamers experienced up to 78 percent load time improvements using Intel SSDs. Graphics are smooth and uninterrupted, even at the highest graphics settings. To see the performance difference in a head-to- head video comparing the Intel® X25-M SATA SSD with a 10,000 RPM HDD, go to www.intelssdgaming.com. When comparing frame-to-frame coherency with the Western Digital VelociRaptor 10K HDD, the Intel X25-M responds with zero hitching while the WD VelociRaptor shows hitching seven percent of the time. This means gamers experience smoother visual transitions with Intel SSDs.

  • Cloudbyte Enables Storage Virtualization with the Help of Sandisk® Ssds
    CASE STUDY CloudByte Enables Storage Virtualization with the Help of SanDisk® SSDs Summary Solution Focus CloudByte is a storage virtualization company that brings the virtualization concept • Storage virtualization down into the storage layer. This provides “virtual storage machines” (VSMs), which • Storage on demand are the equivalent of virtualization on the server. The CloudByte ElastiStor Appliance (ESA), a completely self-managed storage solution, extends server virtualization Summary of Benefits to the storage component. It does this by employing SanDisk solid state drives for • Reliable, secure, manageable storage primary storage or hybrid solutions. • Access to hybrid and all-flash storage pools Background • Single storage platform Felix Xavier is the founder, CEO, and CTO of CloudByte. Four years ago he observed • Reduced data center footprint the proliferation of server virtualization and expected that a similar phenomenon • Reduced cost for storage would occur in the storage world. Seizing this opportunity, CloudByte developed advanced technologies to address both storage virtualization and the flexible allocation of storage resources on demand, creating Virtual Storage Machines (VSMs). VSMs are like a physical storage appliance at a logical software level, which can guarantee isolation as any physical appliance can. “We have consolidated everything on a simple, single appliance. We carve virtual containers out of the appliance and provide performance guarantees for each of the applications. This complements what server virtualization does,” explained Xavier. Xavier initially started the company as a software-only solution. However, CloudByte later developed an integrated hardware appliance, which required that they conduct research on various components, such as servers and flash drives. “We found SanDisk, who provides the enterprise-grade SAS drives that…meet our price and performance point requirements,” said Xavier.
