NetApp All Flash FAS: Flash-Optimized Storage for Mixed Workload Consolidation Whitepaper

Datacenters are now consolidating legacy application environments, such as relational database, messaging, and collaboration platforms, with next-generation applications built to meet the needs of social media, mobile computing, big data/analytics, and cloud infrastructure. New, flash-optimized storage architectures are required to cost-effectively deliver the performance necessary as these mixed workloads are virtualized.

Organizations are now looking for new systems that deliver comprehensive and mature enterprise-class functionality in a flash-optimized design that maximizes:

• Performance
• Endurance
• Reliability
• Storage density
• Cost-effectiveness

Flash technology has reshaped the face of enterprise storage in just a few short years, and it will come to dominate primary storage platforms by 2020. Enterprises have a variety of needs, and it is difficult for a single platform type to provide the performance, scalability, functionality, and maturity to meet all workload requirements. Vendors with a broad portfolio of all-flash and hybrid offerings give customers the most flexibility in building the right storage infrastructure for their own environments.
