Storage Developer Conference

SSD is being increasingly adopted for improved application performance. SSD works quite differently from its HDD counterpart. Hence, many conventional applications that are designed and optimized for HDD may not fit well to SSD characteristics. In particular, developers typically know little about SSD and simply treat SSD as a "faster" HDD. In this talk, we will present a set of guidelines of how to design SSD-friendly applications which not only maximize the application performance, but maximize the SSD life.

Learning Objectives

Developers can gain thorough understanding of SSD performance
Developers are able to design improved applications, data structures and algorithms to maximize performance with SSD
