John Tu, President and co-founder of Kingston Technology discusses his predictions for 2011, as businesses and consumers adapt to new and intelligent devices designed to deal with the massive explosion of data. Tu sees developments in the solid state drive (SSD), increasing adoption of cloud computing and the need for consumers to change the way they manage and store data as the key issues for next year.

Revolutionising the use of SSDs

Whatever CIOs are planning for the next year or two, they must ensure that they have investigated the impact that NAND/ Flash based technology solutions can have on guaranteeing the success of their strategy. In 2010 SSD technology was at the tipping point, where wider adoption driven by the need for better performing client devices resulted in a rapid reduction in the cost per gigabyte.
