Choosing the right all-‐flash architecture is becoming increasingly difficult in an expanding and mature market. At the outset of the availability of all-‐flash systems, purchases were justified on application performance requirements that couldn’t be achieved using traditional HDD-‐based systems. The market has moved on and reached a point where choosing all-‐flash for all production applications is a viable proposition and that means being able to reach a price per GB ($/GB) figure that makes wide-‐scale adoption of the technology financially acceptable.
Chris Evans from Langton Blue Consulting looks at the economics of all-flash storage and explores how Kaminario K2 can cross the $1/GB threshold for many enterprise applications.
