The use of cloud-based services is rapidly growing in our society today. It is growing so much that even the Pentagon is looking to implement cloud-based platforms. Cloud-based networks offer agility and flexibility for many organizations that wish to move some of their workloads to the cloud. To offer reliable, highly available premium services, many cloud-based infrastructures are switching to all-flash arrays (AFA).

AFAs, compared to hyper-converged architectures to build cloud infrastructure, offer better economics, maturity, data services functionality, and for workloads that require predictable performance, AFAs can support an infrastructure that doesn’t suffer impacts on performance.
