Life in the data center has become even more challenging. Many managers are tasked with the impossible – satisfying IT system performance demands without significant new IT capital investments or the cost of increasing floor space. By replacing many high RPM HDDs with SanDisk Lightning Enterprise Solid State Drives (SSDs), data centers can realize significant cost savings while improving performance flexibility and increasing storage capacity. Additional benefits include substantial reduction in total cost of OWNERSHIP, space, energy consumption, and exceed expectations of stringent global IT green initiatives. Lightning SSDs are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing SAS enterprise storage and server systems.

Lightning SSDs deliver the INDUSTRY’S highest sustained performance with the most predictable performance profile across a wide range of workloads, while minimizing the risk of data loss and eliminating the use of write cache. Based on an advanced parallel processing architecture and innovative controller, Lightning SSDs provide high I/O performance with very low response times under peak conditions. Lightning SSDs have been specifically designed for demanding, mission-critical, 24/7 applications.
