Professor Sudhanva Gurumurthi

Research

Research to ascertain the deployment of Solid State Devices (SSDs) in enterprise storage systems is gathering momentum.  With factors like low power consumption, terrific response time and low noise, SSDs seem to offer some advantages over Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). But unless concerns like reliability and cost are fully addressed, they cannot replace HDDs in data centers. Along with Professor Sudhanva Gurumurthi and Professor Mircea Stan, I am working on determining how these bottlenecks associated with SSDs can be minimized/eliminated so that they can be used in enterprise storage systems. So far, my foray into research has been exciting and we hope to come up with a few interesting insights in the near future.
