2、: IDC, 2011 Power Savings Power costs continue to increase and there is no end in sight, at least for the next 10 years. Companies are looking to decrease energy costs in any way possible. Although the SSD-based PC power conservation is small, the savings do add up. IDC estimates that the total ener
3、gy-related savings is almost $1.25 per user per year. Closely related to power is the increased productivity in a mobile environment. Based on the SSD specifications, we estimate that the mobile user will gain up to 10% more hours to work. For the average mobile user, this totals about 11 hours per
4、year. Productivity for each laptop user will average $45 annually due to increased battery life. Total Cost Benefits and Potential ROI The increased performance, reliability, and power savings all translate to a positive cost benefit for SSDs. Adding all of these cost benefits together results in a
5、calculated annual cost reduction of up to $210 per user (see Figure 4. 6 #229236 ©2011 IDC FIGURE 4 Annual Savings per PC with an SSD Lower power consumption (0.6% Lower failure rates (33.5% Longer battery life (21.6% Higher performance (44.3% Total = $210 Source: IDC, 2011 The clear indication
6、 from this analysis is that the greatest benefit in migrating to SSDbased laptop PCs is the increased productivity related to the higher performance of the SSD. In the context of Figure 4, this benefit is revealed in the costs associated with lower productivity when using an HDD-based laptop PC vers
7、us an SSD-based PC. The next highest cost savings with SSD-based laptop PCs comes from higher reliability, or lower failure rates. The savings comes from lower support/replacement costs, resulting in more user productivity a dual benefit. The longer battery life benefit varies with the number of tra
8、velers within any given company. However, increased productivity due to increased battery life is the essence of this metric. Again, in the context of Figure 4, the savings is related back to recouping the lower productivity of users using HDD-based laptops on battery power due to shorter battery li
9、fe. As mentioned previously, price is not the only metric companies will consider when weighing their options (granted, it is a major input the decision matrix can be quite complex. Yet when IDC evaluates storage requirements over time, we see them rising in general, but not as aggressively as in th
10、e past. This is notable in corporate environments where storage capacity requirements are not subject to the growing needs of consumer data, and thus lower capacity points, such as 128GB, can be quite acceptable. Corporations have motivations for limiting the amount of local storage within a laptop
11、PC, not the least of which is limiting the amount of data that can be carried outside the security of the corporate walls. In addition, limiting local storage capacity can limit a corporate PC's usage for noncorporate data/activity. ©2011 IDC #229236 7 Given minimal operating system storage
12、 requirements, 128GB likely satisfies a large majority of corporate laptop PC users' needs (see Figure 5. FIGURE 5 Comparison of HDD and Flash-Based SSD ASPs, 20102014 250 200 ($ 150 100 50 0 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2.5in. HDD 128GB f lash SSD Source: IDC, 2011 CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNI TIES Based o
13、n IDC's own internal testing, we believe there are significant performance improvements to be realized by adopting faster storage devices. However, technology transition can be obvious but not necessarily automatic. For example, the transition from VHS to DVD was an obvious one, and it happened
14、naturally over time based on the benefits offered by DVD technology as well as the cost declines in DVD technology. That said, DVD technology has not replaced tape in datacenters because of a completely different usage model. Flash-based storage has a number of well-entrenched market segments (e.g.,
15、 digital cameras and mobile phones and has been able to hold its own as well as increase its presence in the personal media player (or MP3 player markets. The success factors can be complex, even if the benefits seem obvious. On paper, the benefits of SSD-based laptop PCs seem obvious; in reality, t
16、here are a number of challenges to adoption that must be addressed: y Capacity requirements of laptop PCs are one piece of the equation. SSDs will always lag behind HDDs in capacity and cost per capacity, especially at higher capacity points. The key, however, is that there is an acceptable amount o
17、f capacity to ensure a positive end-user experience in an SSD-enabled PC (such as 128GB. 8 #229236 ©2011 IDC y Overcoming misconceptions about the technology. SSDs and HDDs are fundamentally different storage devices. Whether it's measuring SSD performance or reliability, the industry is co
18、alescing around specifications, such as JEDEC, to make it easier for businesses and to help them choose the best products for their needs. y Cost concerns to fit within the end user's budget. There is no question that there is a premium associated with the price of an SSD when compared with HDD
19、for the same capacity point. Cost is a function of capacity and the budget for storage within the device's bill of materials. CONCLUSION The future of storage is heading away from the spinning magnetic HDD inside many of our portable computing devices and toward SSD. At first glance, it appears
20、that SSDs are a more expensive storage solution than traditional HDDs. However, when both storage technologies are put into the context of TCO, the value proposition and true cost of an SSD-enabled PC are revealed. IDC has created this industry cost-based analysis to aid companies in identifying the
21、 important variables impacting decisions around using SSD-based and HDD-based laptop PCs. In addition, we've modeled the interaction of these variables to give the commodity purchasing manager a tool to aid in this decision. It should be noted in this context, however, that every use case is dif
22、ferent and users can benefit more or less than suggested by this model. Next-generation operating systems, applications, and system designs likely will be able to exploit the advantages of new storage technologies more than legacy system configurations and software. That said, based on today's P
23、C configurations, the increased reliability and durability alone are an excellent reason to consider an SSD-enabled PC, and there is little doubt that SSDs possess a number of benefits that justify their use in certain laptop PC scenarios, especially those that have lower storage requirements, increased perf
