One of the observations at EMC's annual conference, EMC World 2012, this week is the amount of solid-state disk (SSD) deployment options that EMC can offer a customer. Of all the approaches, the two that seem to be the most confusing are all-flash storage systems and SSD appliances. These two SSD technologies may seem similar, but are vastly different in how they are used.
All-Flash Storage Systems: All-flash storage systems are shareable storage systems that offer the same data services that traditional hard disk-based systems offer. This means that these systems have features like thin provisioning, snapshots, cloning, high availability, and replication. These systems typically also include some form of data efficiency to make the use of solid state more effective. As we covered in a recent chalk talk video and article, these systems are ideal candidates for deduplication and/or compression. Read More
