Welcome to the August edition of the Storage magazine eNewsletter, which might make it seem as though the only trend of any note in the industry at present is all-flash: not only do we have two news announcements (from AccelStor and Kaminario), but one of our main features this issue, from Tintri’s Troy Alexander, is also focused on the subject. There is little doubt that flash is remaking how IT infrastructures are architected and managed.
Troy argues though that there is more to a successful flash implementation than a high performance data repository: “Simply bolting on flash as a cache to an existing HDD-based platform can provide some level of performance acceleration but at significant economic and opportunity cost. Flash opens up a range of new possibilities, especially in a VM-aware storage (VAS) infrastructure.” A technology designed around VAS, he contends, can leverage flash benefits and is ideal for any type of hardware architecture.
