I've met the Tin Man. Whilst looking for some MVCC/Locker debate I happened onto a Sybase Evangelist blog. Kind of like what I do, but he gets paid for it. Sigh. May be soon.
Anyway, this post is his paen to SSD, and this:
How big is your database?? **light bulb** Those same 10 SSD's get you a whopping 300-600GB of storage. You could just put the whole shooting match on SSD and forget the IO problems. Rep Server stable queue speed issues - vaporized.
Be warned, he makes the leap from Amazon sourced SSD to enterprise database storage (he doesn't mention STEC or Violin, for instance, but appears to be aware of earlier Texas Memory DRAM units); not really going to happen, so his arithmetic is off by a decimal point. But otherwise, he and I are on the same page, especially with skipping the "cache with SSD" silliness, and just storing to SSD. Schweeet. And he knows from schmere.
Now, hold Dorothy's hand.
