Impact of Flash
Flash can:
• Deliver higher application performance
• Reduce costs
• Enable green IT
• There is no one-size-fits-all flash solution
Enterprise customers require hybrid and all-flash

Latency Also Plays a Key Role
 Hybrid storage: leverages flash media
to provide good average latency
 All-flash storage: utilizes flash media to
provide consistent, predictable low latency
