Faster Oracle Database Access with the RamSan-210™

Overview For more than twenty years, Texas Memory Systems (TMS) has developed advanced SSD systems for the specialized needs of the US defense industry. The RAM-SAN system is an evolutionary step in this lineage, designed to meet the increasing I/O demands of the high-performance commercial SAN market. With the RAM-SAN, TMS is uniquely positioned to deliver the ultimate in combined value and performance to this market. With up to fifteen fast Fibre Channel interfaces and up to 64 Gbytes of SDRAM storage, a single RAM-SAN can eliminate storage bottlenecks for an entire data center. It supports simultaneous access by more than 100 attached servers (assuming 5,000 IOPS per server) with no performance degradation penalty. This is achieved under all operating scenarios: reads or writes; short or long data sets; random or sequential accesses. No other solid-state disk can claim this level of performance. While memory capacity and number of interfaces are important metrics, the key to solving storage bottlenecks is I/O performance. With a single Fibre Channel interface installed, the RAM-SAN provides up to 35,000 IOPS. Fully loaded with fifteen Fibre Channel interfaces, the RAM-SAN provides over 500,000 IOPS. RAM-SAN transaction latency is more than 100 times lower than that of any RAID.
