All Flash fuels IT Transformation

With the increasing focus on digital and IT Transformation, it is essential for organizations to realise the importance of All Flash Array and the role it plays in helping organizations to evolve with the changing times.

Adopting All-Flash technology is key to keeping pace with and exceeding customer demands in today’s digital world. It brings about IT flexibility and business agility into the overall IT equation—a must for CIOs who are continually challenged to maintain budgets—while increasing business agility and lowering TCO.

This helps in identifying qualities that allow organizations to respond rapidly to changes in the internal and external environment without losing momentum or vision.

Technologies such as Flash have revolutionized the industry, providing unprecedented performance, flexibility and scale. It enables the infrastructure necessary to enable business to rapidly respond to change by adapting to the ever-evolving business conditions and providing the agility needed to support today’s digital business.

Apart from that, All Flash helps in increasing performance and lowering the total cost of ownership in various ways such as reducing the hardware requirements, lowering the software licensing and administration costs as well as decreasing the energy and floor space requirements. Hence, Business economics are affected by the decision to deploy flash in enterprise systems.

A wide variety of data services, including capacity-saving data reduction through deduplication, thin provisioning, space-efficient snapshots, advanced encryption, delta differential-based replication and industry-leading security features is provided by All Flash. You get the speed, agility and scale needed to react to changing markets and customer demands.

Therefore it isn’t surprising that Flash is rapidly disrupting the disk status quo and is being embraced by Indian companies across sectors. As flash is becoming more pervasive, optimized, and affordable, new applications and new storage software stacks are also emerging that are built “ground-up” for solid-state. Thus today, flash storage has value in a number of implementations within and across the storage infrastructure—be that in storage systems themselves, in servers, or in the network.

While Flash is the foundation that drives your modern infrastructure, the secret to outperforming your competition lies in industry-leading software features and flash-designed architectures that come together to deliver higher performance, lower TCO and better business outcomes for you and your company.

Hence, organizations need to have not only the expertise, but also market-proven offerings to address the All-Flash requirements that will help transform your infrastructure.

The digital revolution is changing the face of business across Asia. For organizations to take advantage of new technologies and leap-frog competition, building a robust, scalable, cost-effective, secure architecture is paramount.
