For the past couple years, the IT world has been
buzzing about the myriad possibilities of Flash storage
and what the technology will mean for the industry.
Now these possibilities are being realized. Today’s
Flash can beat the performance and capacity of
traditional disk drives, and it enables architectures
that would not be possible otherwise. However, Flash
traditionally has been more expensive than high
performance disk drives, so many organizations have
not considered implementing it.
But Flash is constantly evolving and has finally reached an inflection
point: today the cost of Flash storage is dramatically lower than even
a few months ago. In fact, Flash solutions are now attractively priced
compared to the cost of high performance disk drives. Organizations
can obtain 100x or even 1000x the performance of traditional disks for
the same or less cost per gigabyte. In other words: there is no longer a
reason to buy disks for applications requiring high performance.
Even if you have not yet deployed Flash in your infrastructure, you
should consider investigating how today’s Flash offerings could
meet your infrastructure needs. This eBook offers three compelling
reasons why you should consider making the switch now: ease of use,
performance and affordability.
