Technology is accelerating at such a fast rate that the price performance of computing is literally becoming pennies on the dollar.

Consider this, in 1968 a single transistor cost one dollar. By 2002, a dollar could purchase 10 million transistors.

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law" target="_blank">Moore’s Law</a> describes the doubling of computer processing unit clocks speeds every eighteen months. Furthermore <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Kryder#Kryder.27s_Law" target="_blank">Kyger’s law</a> describes the doubling of magnetic disk capacity’s  at an even faster rate. By 2020 you’ll be able to buy a 14 Terabyte drive for $40.

How does all this increase in speed and capacity, decrease in price, and commoditization of computing hardware affect Information Technology?

With the software that takes advantage of it, of course.

VMware changed the game by creating the first bare metal x86 hypervisor. Taking advantage of underutilized CPUs in commodity servers, VMware showed us that the correctly applied <em>software</em> will push the gains of efficiently even further than the standard rate of hardware acceleration. Thus the dawn of cloud computing was born.

Today we are on the dawn of a new seamless integrated Flash hypervisor that takes advantage of accelerating return of server side flash by introducing a brand new data tier for virtualized environments.

Below, we are proud to share the presentation from the August 14 Charleston VMUG on PernixData’s FVP technology. You can also find on <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/lwilmes/charleston-v-mug814">SlideShare</a>.
