A Case for Flash Memory SSD in Enterprise Database Applications

Summary: Assesses enterprise DB applicability of flash SSDs for workloads with sequential writes and random reads. Empirically shows more than an order of magnitude speedup in transaction processing by moving logs, rollback segments, and temporary space from disks to flash.
