Which IT Storage Solution is Right for Me? (Part 2 of 2).
IT is moving faster than ever; standing still is not an option.
For many industries, the rapid increase in data and the need to access it immediately is becoming a critical priority for all of us. We understand your pain – we see it every week – and want to help you determine which storage system will serve you best.
In Part 1, we discussed the benefits of Hyper Converged storage. Here in Part 2, we’re talking Flash.
Part 2: Flash
Blazing Performance
You’re considering Flash because you see it’s taking the storage world by storm. You’re interested in accelerating business-critical applications, consolidating a virtual server or desktop deployment, trying to get ahead of your company’s data onslaught, or some combination of the above.
By 2019, 20% of traditional high-end storage arrays will be replaced by dedicated solid-state arrays; here’s the reason why:
If you haven’t looked at the prices for Flash in a while, it’s time. Prices have dropped dramatically in the last few years, and an all-Flash data center is now an affordable reality thanks to solutions like the flagship Hewlett Packard Enterprise StoreServ family of all-Flash and Converged Flash arrays. These lightning fast arrays deliver 99.999% uptime, with built-in protection, high IOPs under 1ms, zero data-loss RPO, petabyte scale for enterprise growth and affordability for any application.
Hybrid Flash is a great solution for companies who aren’t ready to forgo their traditional storage, but want to improve performance. With blazing fast speed – up to 3 million IOPs at sub-millisecond latencies – your data center can handle any demand with the reliability needed to meet mission-critical service levels.
Heads up: Your storage is only as good as your system, so remember that whatever Flash solution you choose, your data protection scheme must stand up to the demands of a flash primary storage environment.
Bottom Line: If your system is robust and your IT staff is prepared to handle the horsepower, a Flash system offers unbeatable performance, both now and for the future.
