2016: All-flash storage becomes general purpose
2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 TODAY 2018 2019 2018 2019 2021
1st generation all-flash storage: Niche deployments
High performance regardless of cost Usage in focused areas (VDI, analytics …) Proprietary flash modules Limited or non-existent HA, DR, QoS Initially only available from start-ups
2nd generation all-flash storage: The new norm
High performance at reasonable/low costs Suitable for general purpose usage Standardized flash media, SSDs Full enterprise class HA, DR, QoS Available from most storage vendors
