A Brief History Of Storage Performance
• Flash was not the original high performance storage
• Wide-Stripe HDD Arrays
• DRAM based Appliances StoragePerformance
A Briefing History Of Flash• ~2009 - SLC based flash for caching and
appliances
• Flash for extreme performance workloads
• ~2012 - MLC based all-flash arrays
• Flash for performance workloads
• ~2016 - 3D TLC NAND
• Flash reaches near price per GB disk parity (with a little help)
• Flash exceeds density per GB
Flash
Flash Today
• Flash is the standard for all primary storage applications, workloads, active data
• MLC is the Enterprise Standard
• 3D TLC NAND is quickly making in-roads
The Five Flash Workloads
• Business Critical Data/Workloads (Oracle, MS-SQL, SAP)
• Storage Consolidation
• Virtual Infrastructures (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM)
• Cloud Infrastructures (Large VMware, VDI)
• Big Data Analytics (SAS, Spark, Cassandra, Hadoop)
Flash And Business Critical Data
• The Original Flash Sweet Spot
• Extreme High Performance
• Often Scale Up Environments
• Which Flash is Best?
Flash And Storage Virtualization / Virtualization Infrastructures
• High Performance but not Extreme Performance
• Features become more important
• Economics become important
• Which Flash is Best?
Flash And Cloud Infrastructures
• Similar to Virtual Infrastructures (Performance, Price, Features)
• Scale becomes Critical
• Scale Performance (many parallel workloads)
• Scale Capacity
• Which Flash is Best?
Flash And Big Data
• Performance is Important but..
• Density is King
• A new Flash Array is needed - Dense with Good Performance
Conclusion
• Flash and Business Critical Data - High Performance, Highly Available Flash
• Flash and Virtualization - Enterprise Features, Solid Performance
• Flash and Cloud - Scale, Scale, Scale
• Flash and Big Data - Density
