Solid-state devices speed SAN access
Network storage appliances can benefit from SimpleTech's solid-state devices for disk caching, system monitoring and diagnostics.
The SAN (storage area network) and NAS (network attached storage) markets are expected to grow almost exponentially as IT managers struggle to manage their rapidly growing requirement for data storage Network storage appliances are gaining popularity as an alternative to adding more storage to current servers, or adding more servers

Chip-on-chip stacking technology can help designers achieve the highest possible electrical functionality and performance in the least possible amount of space.
Flash drives to greater size and performance
Following its strategic partnership with Hitachi, Simpletech has been able to make substantial increases to both the capacity and performance of its Flash memory.
They can range in capacity from 40 GB to multiple terabytes, and perform file serving, data warehousing, and backup management functions.
Network storage appliances can benefit from SimpleTech's solid-state devices for disk caching, system monitoring and diagnostics by taking advantage of their low power requirements, zero seek times, wide operating temperature ranges and high reliability versus traditional rotating media.
This means IT managers will be able to put more appliances closer together, saving space and power while dramatically increasing performance.
SimpleTech offers a broad range of Flash, SRAM, and DRAM technologies in multiple form factors to allow appliance manufacturers to customise their products to their clients' specifications.
Server systems are constantly being developed to meet the increasing demands of today's networking needs.
With server computing at the heart of every network, performance and reliability of such servers has become essential for the success of the enterprise.
As demand increases and more loading is introduced to the server, memory bandwidth becomes essential in order to maintain the computing health of the network.
One of the most cost-effective and dramatic performance increases can be achieved by improving the memory bandwidth of the server.
Upgrading the server's memory bandwidth will significantly improve performance and reliability by facilitating the throughput demands of the network.
SimpleTech designs a wide range of memory product families targeted for server, storage, networking, and workstation platforms.
