Is flash-optimized storage right for you?
Flash-based storage technologies are a major disruptor to legacy storage designs and we are only at the very start of what is a major industry shift. Flash comes in many forms - in servers or purpose-built appliances and all-flash arrays – all of which can improve performance, lower latency, and reduce power/cooling costs.
However, benefits can vary by use case. Flash-optimized storage is ideally suited for:
- Tiering applications
- Virtual desktop environments and VM server farms
- Enterprise and OLTP applications where latency is key
- Analytics/Decision-support applications
Do you have the information to determine if flash-optimized storage can help your business?

Flash is fundamentally different than spinning disk and requires new designs to maximize performance. This is where many startups are focused today. However, for critical applications storage must provide full tier-1 resiliency you’d expect.
A flash-optimized storage array architecture must meet four critical design requirements. Anything less is a compromise.

Performance Acceleration
Remove system bottlenecks
|
Efficiency Optimization
Maximize utilization and life of media
|
System Resiliency
Assure constant application access
|
Data Mobility
Federated across systems and sites
