The top concern for IT planners looking to implement or expand the use of their VDI investment is storage performance. This is because every step that is taken to drive down cost per desktop, or improve the user experience, impacts storage performance and capacity. All-flash arrays address the performance problem with a sledgehammer and for many environments they can be the most cost effective option. But for others, hybrid solutions may make more sense. Join Storage Switzerland and Tegile Systems as we discuss the various challenges that VDI scale brings to storage and how All-Flash Arrays and Hybrid Arrays can address those challenges.

1. What’s best for VDI Hybrid or All-Flash Storage?
In this Webinar You Will Learn:
1. About the storage challenges of
meeting user expectations and driving
down cost
2. How flash addresses those challenges
3. How a single system can address both
VDI performance and user data needs
4. What’s better for VDI – All-Flash or
Hybrid?
