China has become the second largest server consumer in the world

As of the first three quarters of 2008, China's server market shipments reached 552,824 units, an increase of 14.7%. The market size was $2.56 billion, an increase of only 1.6% compared to the same period last year. IDC estimates that the Chinese server market will ship more than 750,000 units in 2008, with a market size of nearly $3.5 billion. By then, the Chinese market will surpass Japan in terms of shipments and become the world's second largest server consumer.

Baidu has already announced in the second half of 2008 that it has achieved the realization of all servers on the web search platform to "bid farewell" to the hard disk and move towards the flash memory era. In popular terms, all of Baidu's search servers have been replaced with solid-state drives. All the hard disks in the computing cluster of Baidu's global search and index storage have been removed. This is a major victory for flash memory and traditional hard drives in the battle for the market. From a global perspective, this is also the first large-scale commercial use of flash technology on Internet server clusters. In the previous multi-party debate on the issue of SSD replacement HDD, Baidu's support can also greatly enhance the confidence of the flash memory industry.

What is SSD hard disk, SSD hard disk to overcome the traditional notebook hard disk easy to break, fear of collision, high heat and contrast of the insufficiency, greatly increased the security of data storage. The built-in solid state drive (SSD) system has the advantages of low power consumption, good stability, fast running speed, strong shock resistance, and the heat dissipation of the SSD is also smaller and quieter. The average time between failures can reach 2 million hours, and the data transfer speed is 30-40 times faster than traditional hard drives.

In 2008, multi-layer memory chips will begin to be widely used, SSD solid state drives will also use multi-layer memory flash memory chips, multi-layer memory chips each storage unit to hold 2 bits of data, soon is expected to expand to 4 bits. Although the reliability of multi-layer memory chips is not as good as that of single-layer memory chips, the error rate has been controlled in a fairly low range, which is enough to meet the needs of the computer market.

Times Internet (www.todayidc.com) server is the first to launch SSD, providing SSD and enterprise hard disks or SSD and dual enterprise hard disks on raid optional solution, not only can play the unique performance of SSD, but also meet the requirements of system security and large capacity users; It meets the requirements of various network and information operators, and can be fully competent for applications requiring rapid processing of massive information. The impact time of electronic trading systems, real-time data processing, and host transaction processing can reach the millisecond level, and can also meet the extreme speed requirements of the military industry, search engines, HPC high-performance computing and other environments.

Now in this special environment, the danger is the surface, the machine is the structure. People who really understand the form will not be agitated because of the noise on the surface, and it is best to choose the right one.
