Why it's time to consolidate your primary workloads on all-flash storage

A new approach to IT infrastructure

Published January 2018

The days of using all-flash storage for a single, performance-critical application are ending as IT decision makers realize they can reduce complexity, enhance agility and lower costs by consolidating multiple workloads onto a single, scalable, all-flash storage platform.

Nearly 60% of all-flash array deployments are now being used for application consolidation, according to 451 Research, which states that “the consolidation use case represents the future” of all-flash arrays.1 By the end of this decade, all-flash arrays will drive more than 70% of all primary storage spending, according to the IDC White Paper, “NetApp All Flash FAS: Flash-Optimized Storage for Mixed Workload Consolidation,” August 2016.
