- 2. The World’s FastestStorage®Get a quote at txmemsys.com/quote Presentation Synopsis Thank you for joining Texas Memory Systems to learn how Solid State Disk(SSD) is being incorporated into Data Centers to improve the price/performance equation for applications and storage. Technology developments and improved economics are making SSD more interesting and affordable, but there is often confusion about available solutions and how they can be incorporated into existing data center architectures. In this webinar, SSD and application performance expert Jamon Bowen will examine the various types of SSD and how they align with application architectures and deployment models. He will examine how performance, cost, and feature sets impact deployments of SSD in today’s evolving data centers. In short, this webinar will demystify SSD and help you make informed architectural choices to fulfill your performance needs.
