TECHWORLD -
Disk drives and Storage Area Networks (SANs) have long been viewed as a one-size-fits-all solution for performance and storage. But the invention of server-based NAND flash memory has changed the storage landscape, and we are seeing storage evolve into two purpose-built specialisations.
Traditional storage infrastructure like SANs are now used more often for long term retention, while new server-connected flash technologies are now the optimal choice for accelerating enterprises’ most critical applications. Both functions are critical and valuable for enterprise applications and this split is a natural result of the right application of the different technologies’ strengths.
Disks are great for capacity and retention, less so for performance ... 続きを読む
