Architectural Design Decisions Directly Impact IT Agility for Pure Storage FlashArray

IDC discusses why it’s critical to understand the differences in storage architecture and its’ impact on IT agility.
All-flash arrays (AFAs) have become an increasingly popular choice across the enterprise storage ecosystem for many high-performance and business-critical application and workload storage needs. AFAs have certain key benefits versus traditional spinning media (hard disk drive [HDD]–based arrays) — higher performance, reduced operational costs, and greater environmental sustainability are some of the chief reasons buyers look to flash rather than spinning disk media.
