SSD for Oracle Databases

Here are a couple of articles/web site with the pros and cons of running your Oracle database on SSD:

If your Oracle database is less than 2 TB you could run it on the  hi1.4xlarge instance type.  This instance type has  2 SSD-based volumes each with 1024 GB of instance storage.  More on AWS instance types here: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

You could also just use Oracle RDS on AWS.  With PIOPS for RDS, you can get up to 25K IOPS on your Oracle database.
