DELIVERING ONE WAY TO VIEW ALL STORAGE FOR ENTERPRISES
In order to choose the right solution for a data platform , organisations need to take a step back and understand their data requirements , which can be complex , and how IT can support business goals and create end user benefits , explains Patrick Smith at Pure Storage .
In today ’ s complex business environment , organisations are grappling with how to create value from all their data , doing more with less and ensuring productivity . Many are looking for solutions which make their business run in a smoother , more streamlined way to maximise outcomes . Understanding their data is the key to this .
But there is a lot of complexity in how data is stored , accessed , managed , protected and analysed . The platform that data sits on has to be modern , built for current and future purposes . Having the right platform will enable vendors to make data-driven decisions about the right investment options and timing , solving challenges , improving customer experience , incorporating flexibility to try new things and innovate .
Vendors should be simplifying infrastructure operation and management and ensuring customers can have one way to view all storage .
Many years ago , flash was not considered suitable for data where fast access was not needed . However with flash now at parity with legacy spinning disk in terms of cost and the advances in flash management , it is possible to use flash for all storage workloads , even large-capacity price-sensitive workloads .
