2772.0. "ALL-IN-1 and new Disk Technology" by FLEX7::ALLINGHAM_PD (Permenantly Peaking!) Fri May 28 1993 15:46

    Does anyone out there have any experience with using Solid State disks
    and ALL-IN-1 for frequently accessed files.
    
    My customer says that there is a Stateside handbook on ALL-IN-1 and new
    technology which may answer this question - does anyone have a copy?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Peter.

    Lots of presentations from Corning Glass have been made at DECUS. I
    think there's a guy named Pat Scalapino who has made a career going to
    DECUS to talk about ALL-IN-1 on solid-state disks.  Basically they do
    wonderful things for ALL-IN-1 as long as you don't put an SDAF or
    other data file on them...

Tony,

>SDAF or other data file on them... 

Care to expand on this statement.  SDAFs usually don't fit.  The other 
ALL-IN-1 data files seem to work just fine.  Most VMS hot files work
extremely well (sysuaf, rightslist,...).  I can name about a dozen
customers who use them in this way without any problem.

    Hi Marc,
    
    The comment about SDAFs came from the nice people at Corning, as far as
    I can recall. They must have some SDAFs that do fit -- maybe they purge
    people's mail very quickly, or unshare it within a month of being
    created.  As I don't have a solid state disk here to play with I can
    neither confirm nor deny their feelings, but I'm sure that you have
    some comment to make on the subject based on performance testing in the
    lab.
