SolidFire, a provider of all-solid-state (SSD) primary storage systems for cloud service providers, today announced that the company will be exhibiting at the Cloud Expo Conference, taking place in Santa Clara, November 7-10, 2011. On Thursday, November 10, 9:55 to 10:40 a.m. Pacific Time, Adam Carter, the company’s director of product management, will present a session titled “Benefits of All-SSD Architectures in the Cloud” based on his experience from companies such as SolidFire, LeftHand Networks, HP, and VMware.

Carter’s session will look at different methods and benefits of using SSDs for high-performance, primary storage within the cloud.
