Enhanced resiliency and data protection.
All Flash Arrays provide a variety of data resiliency and data protection
schemes that were impossible with hard disk based storage systems.
Flash allows you to use more dependable RAID schemes, thus
enhancing data reliability. Snapshots occur much faster, reducing time
between backups and increasing frequency. Many of today’s Flash
solutions also have built-in disaster recovery and protection features
that further enhance your ability to insure the integrity of your data.
Performance for the future.
Most organizations face an explosion of big data, which can provide
many valuable insights if managed and analyzed correctly. However,
the rate at which organizations are creating and ingesting data is
fast outpacing their ability to retrieve and feed the CPUs to allow for
effective analysis of this data. The primary reason for this performance
mismatch is the inability of hard disk based storage systems to
randomly access small bytes of data and the slow rate at which they
transfer data from the disk to the CPU. These problems result from
disk’s IOPS and bandwidth limitations; however, Flash-based systems
substantially outperform disk in both IOPS and bandwidth capacity.
Only Flash-based systems offer the performance and capacity to do
analytics on these large, complex data sets in a manner that optimizes
CPU utilization.
