5 Reasons Flash Storage is the Logical Choice for Enterprise Business
Discover how to increase operational efficiency and agility with the flash-optimized data center
For every business challenge, there’s a storage solution
Some of the biggest operational challenges of business are caused by storage incapacity. The fact is, storage capacity sits at the core of a business’ ability to scale resources and respond on demand. It’s all about the bits and bytes of data that determine how business gets done and how innovation gets to market. Data drives efficiency and is the foundation of decision-making. Within stores of data reside intellectual property, business intelligence, analytic insight — everything that makes an operation run.
It takes an advanced storage solution to accommodate the vast amounts of structured and unstructured data now in existence. Case in point: It’s estimated that data storage requirements are growing at a rate of 40 percent per year. The reason? Applications demand it, users generate it, and now IT managers must optimize it. The problem? Data demand is straining the capacity of legacy server technology.
Flash Forward to Storage Relief
Storage relief can be found in the all-flash approach that provides density-optimized appliances that deliver flexible, scalable, and reliable storage for about the cost of spinning disk. Within the next 24 months, data centers will be running about 50 percent of their storage on flash.2Storage solutions like HPE 3PAR StoreServ, powered by Intel® Xeon®processors, deliver petabyte-scale capacity with high input/output operations per second (IOPS). It’s turning storage from a cost center to a business enabler.
