Can flash storage technology meet cloud service providers' needs? How?
Data Definer
In other words, how does Flash take availability, scalability and efficiency to a new level?
Bhumik Patel One aspect is to further enable application use cases
John Furrier
many service providers are focused on big data and that impacts the kinds of apps they are deploying so the flash conversation is very interesting in that area.. so over the top services must have low latency minimum reqs
Sean Luce
Yes. Flash allows providers to react quickly to provide the performance and worry about scaling the capacity over time.
Gordon Haff
One argument for Flash at SPs is reduce multi-tenant performance impact. Not sure economics always work though.
Dave Vellante
QoS key for flash in the cloud
Gordon Haff
Suspect that we're going to move away from what's been largely homogeneous storage (modulo tape) but unclear how will play out.
