Dell EMC All-Flash Strategy Operate your business in real time
Aleksandr Shvadtshenko Sr System Engineer, Nordics Evolution of all-flash storage architectures Dell EMC Midrange
• This research shows that flash will become the lowest cost media for almost all storage from 2016 and beyond, and that a shared data philosophy is required to maximize the potential from both storage cost and application functionality perspectives.
