NEXT GENERATION DATA CENTER
Storage Architectures have Failed to Keep Up…
... And the gap is further widened by two major market shifts
THE MOVE FROM DISK TO FLASH
THE MOVE FROM SILO’ED TO SHARED INFRASTRUCTURE
“…while other core elements of the datacenter have gone through radical changes over the last decade, data center storage remains fundamentally unchanged…the architectures are fundamentally the same as they were in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
WHERE DOES SOLIDFIRE FIT?
