What is hybrid storage?
Hybrid storage is a solution for storing digital data that combines flash storage, which provides optimal performance and delivers the fastest speeds, with other types of media that provide greater cost efficiency. Hybrid storage enable organizations to store data on a single platform while balancing performance and economics.
What is flash storage?
Flash storage is a media for storing data electronically. Rather than storing data on spinning discs as traditional hard drives do, flash media uses a charge in a capacitor to represent a binary digit. Flash media provides faster response times while requiring less power and less cooling.
What are the benefits of hybrid storage?
Hybrid storage is ideal for businesses that have both “hot” data that is considered critical and must be frequently accessed and “cold” data that is less important and is needed less often. By combining storage media and offer a range of performance levels, organizations can choose the ratio of performance and capacity that best suits their needs to achieve optimal value.
