Flash Changes The Performance Dynamics Of The Enterprise Storage Market
Storage Decisions
Tape Capacity Disk Performance Disk Flash Memory/SSDs
Backup and Archiving
Data optimization technologies (e.g. dedupe) are driving tape to disk transition.
All Flash Arrays
Capacity Optimized Performance Optimized
Hybrid Arrays
Caching SW PCIe Flash Cards/SSD
Enterprise Disk Arrays
PCIe card deployment will require advanced caching in combination with some form of capacity optimized disk array in order to replicate benefits of shared storage.
Most legacy storage vendors now support standard form factor SSDs within disk arrays as Tier-1 performance optimized capacity and could be considered “hybrid” arrays.

UCS Director
UCS Director Simplify Infrastructure Management
Manual processes require days
or weeks to deploy resources; increases operating costs
Data center teams stay in rigid
silos, with complex hand-offs between domains and teams
Static resource allocation results in under-utilization of
resources and inefficiency
Reduces resource deployment from weeks to minutes
Allows IT teams to work together; encourages teamwork resulting in competitive innovationDelivers unified automation and management for optimum utilization and efficiencies
