EasyCo Execs Present Managed Flash Technology at LinuxWorld 2008SUNNYVALE, Calif. & SAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)-- EasyCo, leaders in high performance Solid State Disk (SSD) technology, will be on hand to discuss the latest developments of their Managed Flash Technology(TM) with attendees at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo held August 4-7, 2008 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. LinuxWorld Conference and Expo is the premier event exclusively focused on Linux and open source solutions. Managed Flash Technology (MFT) significantly improves processing speeds of solid state disks (Flash memory engineered to look like a disk drive to the processor). This is possible with EasyCo's technology that solves a long-standing problem of traditional disk drives: random writes. Dubbed The 300,000 RPM Disk Drive, MFT combines SSD technology with a patent-pending drive management layer resulting in disk performance that is 10 to 30 times faster than 15K RPM disk drives when working with random IO operations. "The MFT solution permits you to scale your CPU and disk storage configurations as much as 30 times the number of users or hits," reports Sam Anderson, company president, "permitting you to reach the same level of performance with a handful of MFT drives that would be required with dozens or even hundreds of traditional disk drives." EasyCo predicts a very large market for its MFT solution, as the size of databases grow along with the volume of random writes. While processor and memory speeds and capacities have grown exponentially, the growth of disk storage devices had plodded along at a much slower pace, resulting in the current imbalance where random IO performance has become the current bottleneck in application performance. About EasyCo LLC EasyCo specializes in the development of high performance storage subsystems. Managed Flash Technology(TM) is EasyCo's patent-pending technology that optimizes storage subsystems for maximum random write performance. Flash SSDs with EasyCo's MFT software can power business servers or laptop PCs at 10 to 30X the performance and for less cost than traditional disk drives.
