Intel® Solid-State Drive (Intel® SSD) technology brings a compelling performance boost to Dell PowerEdge* servers with significant energy savings.

Today’s server applications are in the early stages of realizing the benefits of solid-state drives (SSDs). Across the data center, solid state drives are increasing performance, reducing power consumption and improving reliability. Based on the integration of NAND Flash memory and controller/firmware technology, SSDs are faster, require less power and are more reliable than a hard disk drive (HDD). Working together, Dell and Intel make these benefits a reality by offering Dell PowerEdge servers with the Intel® Solid-State Drive 320 Series for read-intensive workloads in the data center.

Data Center Applications : Data center workloads vary in the amount of data they write. Some workloads, such as logging, have a very high number of write operations, while others have a mix of read and write operations like database applications. Many other data center workloads are dominated by reads. Search, Content Delivery and Video on Demand represent these application types. It is important to consider the anticipated workload when planning an SSD deployment. The Intel SSD 320 Series is the ideal choice for workloads that consist of mainly read-intensive operations and this device can also be an appropriate option for some mixed workloads if employing “over-provisioning”.

The Capabilities of an SSD : Solid-state drives are available with different levels of performance and endurance capabilities. (Endurance is the amount of write operations the SSD is capable of sustaining over its life and is specified as Total Terabytes Written (Total TBW) or total drive writes per day). Different implementations of controller, firmware and NAND Flash memory technology lead to a variety of performance and endurance levels. A key factor in the endurance and performance of the SSD is how efficiently the SSD controller/firmware applies read and write operations to the drives. Intel SSDs have a long history of applying industry-leading technology across the controller, firmware and NAND Flash memory to maximize the endurance and performance capabilities of the SSDs.

Choosing the Right SSD : To help users understand the options and choose theright SSD for their desired workload, Intel provides SSD tools that can accurately forecast an SSD’s service life in a given workload. Once the forecast life of the Intel 320 Series SSD is understood for a workload, it can also be extended in some cases by “overprovisioning” the drive. The Intel SSD 320 Series thrives in workloads where read operations are most common and where the tools described in Addendum document enable customers using Dell PowerEdge servers to apply the benefits of Intel SSDs to mixed workloads.
