Quote from Steve Dengri (February 2008)
“Data storage, following the path of enterprise computing, is now migrating at a much more efficient pace since user needs have evolved significantly over the past five years. Whereas storage needs were once seemingly insatiable, consistent with the desire for faster and faster throughput from compute processors, these needs now must be considered in conjunction with increasingly constrained access to electrical power. This has complicated the technology curve, materially. Fortunately, the storage industry has been well prepared with the development and adoption of SAS, which allows users a faster I/O path, vast scalability, and lower power consumption thanks to an extremely efficient serial I/O design. In the future, it is likely that this technology will increase its influence in the enterprise, even with a broader adoption of solid-state solutions that consume less power.”
