Hybrid arrays, arrays that mix flash and hard drives in order to strike a balance between dollar per GB and dollar per IOP, typically cause one common point of concern for IT planners; Predictably. One of the key ways to overcome this concern is to implement deduplication and compression to make the flash area appear much larger than it is. In this Storage Short we discuss how these two technologies can work together to improve hybrid array predictability.
Deduplication and compression is just one of the ways to improve hybrid array predictability and in our recent webinar “How To Make Hybrid Perform Like All Flash“, we discuss four key steps to hybrid array predictability. Watch this on demand webcast to learn these four steps to see if you can achieve all flash performance from your hybrid array.
