Flash memory prices to halve over 18 months: IBM

Kurt Bilderback, vice president of Flash Storage Global Solution Sales at IBM's Systems and Technology Group, said most companies are still evaluating whether they should use flash memory systems, because of the relatively high costs.

Based on the cycle of technology development, however, the prices of flash memory are forecast to have dropped by as much as 50percent in around 18 months, making it easier for companies to adopt the system, Bilderback told CNA in an interview.

IBM announced in August last year that it was acquiring Texas Memory Systems Inc. (TMS), a high-end enterprise storage technology provider, to expand its storage offerings.

Following the acquisition, IBM plans to invest in and support the TMS product portfolio, and will look to integrate TMS technologies into a variety of solutions.
