Default Storage Power Costs

June 23, 2008 (Computerworld Article)

Storage power costs to approach $2B this year, says IDC Suggests that solid-state storage, smaller hard drives could help cut cost to power, cool drives

Quote:
"Data center storage requirements are growing 50% to 55% per year, but hard drive capacities are only growing 30% to 35% per year. In order to keep up with this growth, you either have to put in more and more drives, or you look for alternatives to stave off buying new drives," remarked Reinsel
Not to mention replacing older drives and now you have to add more. How fast is your data center growing? Do you plan on using NAND flash-based solid state disks?

It is a fact that the rate at which the need for data centers is growing is far more than the capacity of datacenters. With such a scenario, we all would be left choiceless.

Yeah its so true, the rise in demand of data centers has been immense, Just read on the forum that one of the members had to wait for 6 months for AT&T data center and then they said they can't oblige him in that particular datacenter.
