15K drives – the opportunity
The emergence of 15K hard
drives has created a wealth of
new market opportunities for
systems builders. Until recently,
many systems builders have
continued to use traditional
10K hard drives within their
servers, primarily for financial
reasons. However, as the
performance benefits of 15K
hard drives become increasingly
apparent, more and more
systems builders are recognising
the potential they offer.

Your customers need perform-
ance to improve their productivity,
and reliability to protect their user
data and reduce their total cost
of ownership (TCO). Using 15K
drives in your products, you will
be able to increase sales within
your existing customer base by
offering a higher quality product,
which delivers the required
performance and reliability at
a higher profit margin. Moreover,
enhanced server capabilities
will enable you to break into new
markets, allowing you to compete
in fields previously dominated by
the major worldwide players.

15K drives – the market
context
The ultra-fast 15K drives are
designed to meet the needs of
a key element within the storage
hierarchy: enterprise computing
environments, which primarily
deal with high bandwidth appli-
cations requiring fast responses.
This may translate to systems
with multiple users, or systems
with many small items of data
stored anywhere within the disk
array, or both. Think about
transaction-based systems,
web servers and SQL database
applications. In these situations,
the 24% speed increase offered
by 15K drives is clearly beneficial.

Many systems builders are now
looking to RAID systems to
provide capacity and perform-
ance beyond that offered by
single hard drives.15K drives are
ideal for RAID systems as they
combine optimum performance
with superb reliability.
