Will flash replace disk? Join the #AllFlash CrowdChat Aug. 25
In 2008, Wikibon’s David Floyer was the first analyst to publicly predict that high speed spinning disk would give way to flash devices. He was also one of the first to predict the rise of the all-flash data center.
But not everyone agrees. Some people believe that advances in disk densities will continue to outpace flash innovations, and that new techniques that leverage flash selectively, combined with advanced file systems and new algorithms, will extend the life of spinning disk and lead to dramatically lower costs relative to flash.
This Thursday, Aug. 25, join a panel of experts to discuss this topic in a CrowdChat and debate:
- What do the trends in spinning disk volumes mean to the market?
- Are flash costs declining faster than spinning disk, or is that a myth?
- Does the flash industry have the fabrication capacity to replace spinning disk?
- Is data reduction a lynch pin for all-flash or is it that benefit over-stated?
- What does this all mean for how organizations create value with data?
When: Thursday August 25th at 12 Noon EDT/9AM PDT
