Following #FLASHNEXT ,lets try to summarize the technological advancements made in Flash -                                          Hybrid Arrays : Storage systems with a variable percentage of flash,with automated data placement (hot data on flash and cold data on HDD) to provide a balance of (usually not the highest) performance and (often the lowest) price. These are best for users’ persistent and predictable data that does much of the basic daily work. All-flash Arrays :  Combines the power of flash and the capabilities of enterprise storage Server Flash as Local Storage : PCIe flash card (that uses MLC media)  deployed in the server as a local storage device for application acceleration. By storing data locally on the  server, improves the performance of application reads and writes by reducing latency and  accelerating throughp...

We heard about Full Flash Storage and Pivotal initiative last year. In the Q4 2012 Financial Call, EMC gave some insight into its 2013 vision.  Technology drivers for 2013 EMC, VMware and Pivotal Initiatives key focus areas for 2013 More specifics will be available in the coming month. 

Sharing some screen shots from the Keynote session ( by Joe Tucci, EMC Chairman, President and CEO, and Jeremy Burton, EVP, Product Operations and Marketing ) available on   http://bit.ly/PyFL4A  and some key take aways. Just amazed to see the way EMC has transformed and enabling others in this transformation Digital Universe is Growing Faster than Expected  Cloud Computing Transforms IT It's all FLASH  Storage - Network and Sever - EMC Working on building products to address data at all levels ( Project X, Project Thunder and VFCache ) Data Scientist and Data Science are HOT Software Defined Data Centers are coming Putting a Face of Big Data - #HFOBD - The Biggest Crowd-sourced Project   Also, some good works going on Big Data Analytics with Greenplum Chorus and UAP. Not to forget the Massive Parallel Processing capabilities and Scale-out Stor...
