Flash Storage

• Emergence of NAND flash technology
• Energy-efficient, increasing capacity
• Sensor storage sensors with high capacity flash
• Archive locally, construct distributed index
• Push queries into the sensor network (sensor
  network as a database)
• Server storage
• Higher bandwidth than magnetic disks lower
  energy
• How to construct you-tube data centers with
  flash storage to support streaming?
• Will flash replace disks or be used as a fast
  cache for enterprise/RAID storage systems?
