The “All-Flash” era is now. All-flash storage excels in terms of performance, reliability, space, and power consumption, but not every customer chose all-flash storage. Those who wanted to make the switch to all-flash storage are either put off by technical concerns or by its price.

“Flash Only+” program eliminates the technical concerns about using all-flash storage for mission-critical services

Huawei “Flash Only+” program enables customers to turbocharge mission-critical business by offering industry-best level of performance, reliability, and efficiency of OceanStor Dorado all-flash storage. Huawei OceanStor Dorado provides four-level reliability that reaches 99.99999% and tolerates 7 out of 8 controller failures without service interruption. Industry-leading performance will shoot all the way up to 20 million IOPS at a miniscule 0.1 ms latency. Customers will get the assurance of being able to replace and upgrade systems without any data migration within 10 years.

“Flash Only+” program offers premium technical advantages to make all-flash storage more cost-effective

“Flash Only+” program enables customers to enjoy the ultimate performance and efficiency of all-flash storage at the price of hybrid storage with the same effective capacity.
