The Exponential Data Growth Challenge

A recent Frost and Sullivan survey ranks storage as one of IT leaders' top concerns due to extreme growth and changing needs. I’ve highlighted some key takeaways from the report which emphasize why Flash technology is growing in demand when it comes to addressing today’s storage needs. 

All-Flash technology used to be all about raw performance. It had been designed to address issues with traditional applications that were bound by latency and throughput. This was not mainstream, but rather applied to niche environments. It was an expensive solution but justified compared to the alternative cost of rewriting an application or deploying massive arrays of spinning disk. In many cases, low latency could not be consistently achieved with disk-based solutions.

If you’ve researched your options online about Flash storage and how it can benefit your organization, you will read that Flash is offering better performance, lower energy consumption and greater resilience in comparison to traditional hard disk drives.
