All-Flash Arrays (AFA) vendors position their products as the data center cure-all, and the systems address many organizations' performance issues. The challenge is that the performance of AFAs comes at a cost, and in time like these, where IT needs to reduce storage spend, Hybrid Storage may be a better solution for the organization. These systems mix flash and hard disk drives to provide similar performance at a much lower cost. The risk with hybrid storage systems is will their potential for inconsistent performance impacts production applications.
In this webinar, George Crump, StorONE CMO, and former storage analyst, will review each solution's pros and cons and provide clear examples of when each platform makes the most sense for your organization.
Key Takeaways:
* When to use All-Flash vs. Hybrid
* Why deduplication doesn't solve the HDD price advantage
* How to design Hybrid Storage to solve more use cases
