The impact of all-flash on networks

Make sure the network doesn’t become a bottleneck

But while AFAs clearly improve performance

within the array itself, it is important to recognise

that removing a bottleneck in one location could

move it somewhere else. In particular it is essential

to ensure that the network can support the

additional performance enabled by generation

two flash storage technologies.
