FlashSystem Viewpoints from Destiny Corporation
Our clients have utilized several types of Flash Storage options, especially when tiering is applied. For backups, they will use lower end storage. For general storage of data, they will utilize a combination of cheaper flash and SSDs, along with spinning disk. However, they are retiring their spinning disk and looking towards all flash storage. For their high end workloads, they utilize the FlashSystem 840, 900, and are now looking at the FS9100 series.
