Early adopters = 70% VDI use case. Today DB = 50%+ of the use case and also VM/VSI. Whilst VDI still growing Y/Y.

Today #Flash = Both operation optimization #TCO AND #DigitalTransformation! Today = Mixed workload consolidation with @EMCXtremIO #AFA

Main #Flash benefits: quick data access & sharing; real-time insights, minimized latency & increased green footprint.

Respondents in the survey chose lower storage capex spend, reduced product development cycle & ability to better support growing stakeholders as top 3 drivers
