If you're running Oracle Database 11g Release 2 on Solaris or Oracle 
Linux, you can use Database Smart Flash Cache to dynamically and 
transparently extend the Oracle Database buffer cache into flash. This 
will help address I/O bottlenecks in your storage array(s) without any 
changes to application code, queries / reports, or data layouts on disk. 
You can see more info here:
