All-flash arrays solve many performance problems. But the latency reduction they bring also exposes other weak links in the storage IO architecture. One of the most exposed areas is the network. For example, many times IT will install the flash array to find CPU utilization does not increase significantly. Likely there is a network problem. Check out this StorageShort where Storage Switzerland and HPE discuss how to identify networking problems and how to solve them.
The network isn’t the only part of the infrastructure exposed by the flash array. Register for our on-demand webinar, “You Bought All-Flash, Now What?” You will learn how to manage data protection and user expectations as well as network issues.
