Overcoming the Network Problems of High Capacity Flash in All-Flash Systems
Flash media is getting denser. There have been several announcements promising 50TB plus SSDs within the next six months. The distinct advantage for all-flash systems is they will be able to deliver Petabytes of capacity in just a few rack…
All-Flash Should Internally Tier
In a recent webinar “How to Create A Two-Tier Enterprise With All-Flash and Object Storage”, Storage Switzerland discussed the concept of a two-tier data center. The goal is to reduce the overall number of storage systems in the data center…

Webinar: All-Flash in 2018 – What You Need to Know
The All-Flash era is well upon us, and most data centers consider an all-flash product storage tier both realistic and practical. But the flash industry continues to march on. New technologies like NVMe and ultra high-density flash modules promise to…
SlideShare: What’s Your Path to NVMe?
NVMe and NVMe over fabrics promises to change the flash and networking industry. NVMe enables storage systems to tap into the full potential of flash storage and NVMe allows those systems to deliver in-server latencies. NVMe will fundamentally change storage.…
What is the Two Tier Data Center?
Most data centers have at least five to six different storage systems from different vendors, increasing storage costs and management complexity. One potential solution is the all-flash data center, where all data is moved to a single all-flash array. While…
Webinar: How to Create A Two Tier Enterprise With All-Flash and Object Storage
The only problem with the all-flash data center is most of the data (as much as 85%) organizations store is not accessed in more than a year. Assuming there is a more cost effective way to store that data it…

Do All-Flash Arrays Have A Failure Domain Problem?
The capacity of all-flash arrays has been on the rise for several years. Many vendors are now claiming petabytes (PB) of capacity in just a few rack units. While these arrays promise to dramatically reduce the footprint of the data…
StorageShort: Why Does The Data Center Need NVMe Over Fabrics?
The NVMe protocol allows servers or storage systems to communicate to flash storage with more optimally. This PCIe-based architecture enables larger command sets and IO queue depths resulting in lower latency and greater performance. It is a wholesale replacement for…
Will NVMe Over Fabrics Kill DAS?
Many advanced application architectures use Direct Attached Storage (DAS) instead of centralized shared storage for two reasons. First, in most cases sever drives are less expensive than drives found in shared storage systems. Second, storage that is internally accessed has…
