Stone Computers and Pure Storage partnership announcement
All-flash storage is a next generation infrastructure technology that can provide a competitive advantage for your entire company. It has the potential to unlock a new level of employee productivity and to accelerate your business by reducing 10 fold the amount of time databases and applications spend waiting for storage to respond with data.
The “tipping point” for flash in the IT industry took place in 2014, as the storage market pivoted from mechanical disk to focus on delivering new products that qualify as all-flash storage. As the cost of flash continues to decline, flash has become the de facto enterprise standard for primary storage and the foundation for any cloud – internal, SaaS, or public.
Organizations of any size can now build towards their own all-flash cloud and we see the journey in three stages. The first stage is all about accelerating specific applications and experiencing the reliability and performance benefits of flash. The second stage is about deploying flash for all applications in an internal cloud that is fully virtualized and automated. Finally, the third stage of this journey is about using flash for cloud-native applications and for insights from real time analytics and big data workloads. Organizations of any size can embark on this journey at any time and experience the transformational benefits that flash can deliver. Even if you haven’t deployed flash in your infrastructure yet, chances are it is already in your plans.
So how do you make the right decision? With vendors ranging from established incumbents to young startups, and a variety of new technologies with which you may or may not be familiar with, data in the market is imperfect and can result in a poor selection.
