How the new levels of performance in modern flash storage benefits business Source: IDG Flash storage is going through a major boom period. Data from IDC shows that in the last quarter, the All Flash Array  (AFA) market grew by 41.7% year-on-year , and this is on top of a year-on-year gain of over 50% (54.7%) the previous quarter to that . It is now the fastest growing form of storage in enterprise environments, ahead of disc-based and hybrid storage environments. Where traditional disc-based storage utilises spinning platters that improving the data saved, flash memory is solid-state memory chips that have no moving parts. This gives flash storage technology several advantages over disc-based storage, and coupled with an ever-more affordable price point for flash storage at scale, those unique advantages explain why enterprises are so actively embracing flash storage for their environments. The advantages of flash Traditionally, disc-based storage’s key advantage over f...

With 13 years of experience, Huawei has designed intelligent chips, hardware platforms, and operating systems for its all-flash arrays, and has innovatively used FlashLink technology to fully utilize the capabilities of all-flash arrays. Three intelligent chips implement end-to-end acceleration for transmission, storage, and management. Specifically, the multi-protocol interface chip accelerates data transmission, the SSD controller chip accelerates data access, and intelligent management chip speeds up fault management. At the hardware layer, the latest-generation Purley CPU, along with dual-uplink acceleration are used to provide a stable chassis for all-flash arrays. At the operating system layer, a unique disk-controller collaboration algorithm is developed based on the all-flash array features. This algorithm enables SSDs and storage controllers to work together in order to make the most of all-flash systems. In March 2018, Huawei's next-generation high-end all-flas...

Excellent performance is an everlasting pursuit for storage system vendors. Vendors use different performance parameters to promote product performance, such as 100% cache hit ratio (maximum IOPS), 256 KB I/O bandwidth, and 100% write latency. All vendors want you to believe that they can provide the highest performance and can easily handle business pressure during peak hours. You may want to know how to identify all-flash arrays that truly have high performance from amongst a huge number of potentially misleading promotions. SPC, the most commonly used third-party platform  for evaluating SAN storage performance Test standards (especially SPC-1 tests for random IOPS effectiveness) proposed by the Storage Performance Council (SPC) are commonly used as a reference for measuring SAN storage product performance in the industry. Mainstream vendors such as EMC, NetApp, Dell, HPE, HDS, Huawei, IBM, and Fujitsu have participated in SPC tests and used the results to promote t...
