JBOF

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Admitted neologism for a storage solution sold by Altaro. Article amounts to little more than a dictionary definition. A google search shows that this term is used by just one company - Altaro. - 2 ... says you, says me, suggestion box 03:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Per WP:NEO. This term may eventually be appropriate for an encyclopedia, but it is not yet widely enough used or well enough defined.  Shanata (talk) 08:02, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, neologism. Strip out all the promotional stuff, and all you're left with is a dicdef, anyway.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:13, 1 May 2009 (UTC).
 * '''Keep"""* per user:IGTLW As Flash technology (not new by any strech of the imagination) has become more economical it use is starting to widen. JBOF is a natural evolution of JBOD, however what the article was trying to conveyt was NOT the dictionary definition of just a bunch of flash, but how JBOF is SSD deployed as a tier of storage in an ILM construct. This concept shows up in a number of vendors presentations w/o explicitly calling it JBOF, but that's what it is. (see http://chucksblog.emc.com/.a/6a00d83451be8f69e2011279483a2c28a4-popup). So the concept is valid and I doubt that Atrado was the first to use the term since I have heard it used at storage conferences over the past 3 years. EMC which prefers the term ESD (enterprise SSD) over ESD so they can lay claim to a proprietary word and ease any legal burdeons in their marketing collateral. It doesn't appear as though Atrato is trying to lay claim to owning the word JBOF rather they are just using it to convey an enhanced use case over the dictionary definition. Anyways my 2 cents worth for a 20+ year storage industry veteran. —Preceding undated comment added 18:22, 4 May 2009 (UTC).
