Solid- state flash storage is one of today's most important "old yet new" IT technologies. It's old in the sense that some form of solid-state memory has been around since the 1970s. Flash technology arose in the 1980s, and modern flash drives within enterprise storage subsystems arrived on the market back in 2008, with various types of flash-card packaging being the latest turn of the technology crank.

Flash storage is new because the ongoing advances in performance, density, and other factors are still continuing to help flash take over an increasing number of performance-sensitive workloads from conventional spinning-desk arrays.

Gartner predicts that the next generation technology will evolve integrated and converged infrastructure to be in step with applications and service delivery. Convergent designs will focus on performance, capacity, provisioning, service demands, infrastructure optimization and cloud stacks.

IT organizations need the right tools and technologies to make hybrid cloud strategies a flexible and efficient reality for their organizations. Learn how to address inhibitors to cloud adoption, recognize data challenges in the cloud and seamlessly move data in the cloud.

This Forrester research report emphasizes that how CIOs handle storage will heavily influence their cloud success. Henry Baltazar of Forrester claims that although the road to hybrid clouds will not be short or easy, hybrid clouds are the future state of compute and storage for enterprises.

This eBook, written by CIO, highlights how organizations can save money and drive backup efficiency with cloud-integrated storage solutions such as NetApp AltaVault.

This 10 page white paper, written by Enterprise Strategy Group Senior Analyst, Jason Buffingtonn, and Research Analyst Monya Keanes, explores how organizations are using the cloud for backup and recovery and how AltaVault fits into that ecosystem.
