  31. All Flash Storage Array MarketIDC Segmentation Taxonomy The all flash array storage market has been growing and changing rapidly. IDC is observing a bifurcation in the all flash storage array market as segments begin to take shape Absolute Performance. There is a need for extreme raw performance of throughput, IO, and latency. In this use case, performance is paramount, therefore anything negatively impacting performance should not be included in the storage array data path such as virtualization, data efficiency, or enterprise features (i.e. snapshot, clones, replication). Enterprise. Acceleration of applications is important and will provide consistent latency faster than traditional spinning disk, but enterprise feature sets such as snapshots, clones, site replication, and data efficiency must be included to ensure data protection.

  46. Customer Challenge – Most Oracle applications are highly read-intensive. As such, additional processing power alone does little or nothing to improve performance. By placing all read data on low latency flash storage, reads will be performed much faster, boosting Oracle performance by up to 12xover conventional disk systems with no tuning or changes to code or system architecture. IBM FlashSystem shared flash storage systems will Decrease I/O wait time in mission critical Oracle workloads Deliver the lowest latency available on any SAN platform Accelerate commonly I/O-bound workloads, including transactional, batch and complex analytics Oracle Acceleration with IBM FlashSystem™ DeliversExtreme Performance, Macro Efficiency, and Enterprise Reliability for

  47. Customer Challenge - Virtualized servers and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) push conventional storage systems to their performance limits. The result? Poor application response times and a bad customer experience. Introducing an IBM FlashSystem into virtualized environments will result in up to 16x faster response times for the most common virtualized applications. Couple this performance to the ‘log on’ or ‘boot’ storm and make system use productive again. IBM FlashSystem shared flash storage systems will Eliminate I/O density and hot spot issues that are common to highly virtualized environments Control and mitigate ‘log on’ or ‘boot’ storm performance issue Deliver storage consolidation without sacrificing performance, thus driving a higher V:P ratios thus increasing server utilization Virtual Servers and VDI with IBM FlashSystem™ DeliversExtreme Performance, Macro Efficiency, and Enterprise Reliability for

  48. Customer Challenge – The vast majority of the Worlds SAP Databases consume less than 2TB of Storage. SAP is pushing clients to accelerate performance by adopting the HANA in-memory database architecture.
