Pure Storage recently launched FlashBlade arrays that integrate custom PCI Express-based NVMe flash modules. Given this, there is speculation that NVMe flash gradually could supplant traditional SATA and SAS SSDs. Does this speculation have merit? And what could this advance mean for predictive analytics and deep-learning-type apps?
In this guide from the SearchStorage.com editors, senior news writer Garry Kranz sits down with Pure Storage CEO Scott Dietzen to assess the evolutionary cycle of NVMe flash, the likely timeline for its mainstream adoption (given the hype around all-flash data centers), a glimpse into flash-based backup techniques, and more. Read on to stay in the NVMe loop.
