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.

All-scenario flash slashes costs by consuming 60% less power and reducing the required physical footprint by 92%, cutting Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Replacing Hard-Disk Drives (HDDs) with a single Solid-State Drive (SSD) saves the equivalent amount of energy as planting 150 trees, a significant step on the road to environmental sustainability.

Reliable

The five-year return repair rate of SSDs is only 0.8%. The same figure for HDDs is 10 times higher.

The industry's only active-active solutions Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network-Attached Storage (NAS) offer seven nines — 99.99999% — reliability.

Efficient

SSDs dwarf HDDs in terms of performance, representing a 40-fold improvement.

An NoF+ all-Internet Protocol (IP) network delivers 10 times higher bandwidth, 42% lower average latency, and 30% higher Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) compared to Fibre Channel (FC), with an End to End (E2E) latency that falls below 50 μs.

Intelligent

Precise resource planning cuts the initial investment by 20%.

Global automatic provisioning delivers 10 times faster deployment.

Full-stack intelligent O&M improves fault closure by 60%.

Agile configuration optimization improves utilization by 80%.
