Why You Need All Flash for All Scenarios

As the core means of production, data has become the catalyst for the digital economy. With explosive data growth
driving the maturity of the data value chain, data is now playing an increasingly important role in enterprise decision-making
and innovation. Such explosive growth, however, has consequences: significant pressure is being placed on
traditional data centers, which provide the centralized storage, computing, and data resource exchange
enterprises need to tap into the full value of data. This creates four major challenges.

As the core means of production, data has become the catalyst for the digital economy. With explosive data growth driving the maturity of the data value chain, data is now playing an increasingly important role in enterprise decision-making and innovation. Such explosive growth, however, has consequences: significant pressure is being placed on traditional data centers, which provide the centralized storage, computing, and data resource exchange enterprises need to tap into the full value of data. This creates four major challenges.

Huge numbers of offline services are shifting online, resulting in more and more innovative yet data hungry services.

Service peak loads and related reliability needs have increased 10 times or more.

Data centers account for 2–3% of the world's annual power consumption.

Electricity fees account for over half of the Operating Expenditure (OPEX) of the majority of data centers.

Downtime in any data center is simply unacceptable.

Data losses result in nearly one million enterprises going bankrupt every single year.

By 2030, yottabytes of data will be produced every single year.

The global data center market size is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.9% from 2023 to 2030.

The Applications of All Flash

Now applicable to all scenarios, all flash doesn't only upgrade storage media. It also integrates resources and
reconstructs the architecture of data centers, future-proofing diverse services by enabling faster, greener,
and more durable data handling.

Now applicable to all scenarios, all flash doesn't only upgrade storage media. It also integrates resources and reconstructs the architecture of data centers, future-proofing diverse services by enabling faster, greener, and more durable data handling.

Mission Critical Applications

The acceleration of digital transformation brings increasing access traffic to core production and transaction systems, also prolonging service times. This requires lower latency and higher reliability.

Business-Critical Applications

Critical business systems must run smoothly to support service operations. Stable performance and high service continuity are critical here.

Data Backup

As data increases in volume, its importance does too. Diversified data types also require greater protection. So backup and recovery speeds, the frequency of data replication, and data retention times, all need to be significantly improved.

Emerging Services

New Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications generate 10 billion-level file data. Model inference and training times need to be significantly reduced to accelerate Time to Market (TTM).

Workload Integration

The integration of hybrid workloads and data volumes requires green, space-saving, resilient storage systems.

It's clear. The moment to replace legacy disks with flash memory has arrived. And it's critical that enterprises seize the opportunity to act.

What Are the Advantages of SSDs Compared to HDDs?

▪ SSDs are more resilient than HDDs. HDDs are all-disk-type storage, where data is stored in magnetic disk sectors. SSDs are made of flash memory particles. They have no moving mechanical parts inside. This means that SSDs can continue to function even if they are physically moving at high speeds or if they are rolled over. SSDs minimize data loss in the event of collisions, shocks, and vibrations.
▪ SSDs write data faster than HDDs. HDDs write data at approximately 120 MB/s. NVMe SSDs — Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) 3.0 x 4 — write data at approximately 3500 MB/s.
▪ SSDs consume less power than HDDs.
▪ SSDs are smaller and lighter than HDDs.
▪ SSDs are quieter than HDDs. HDDs require a high-power motor to rotate at high speeds, which produces noise and heat. SSDs have no mechanical parts, so they don't generate as much noise and they dissipate heat faster.

An Introduction to SLC, MLC, TLC, and QLC

▪ Single-Level Cell (SLC) flash memory stores one bit of data in each cell.
▪ Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash memory stores two bits of data in each cell.
▪ Triple-Level Cell (TLC) flash memory stores three bits of data in each cell.
▪ Quad-Level Cell (QLC) flash memory stores four bits of data in each cell.
