By 2016, all the other enterprise storage vendors had introduced their own AFAs, and over the last decade AFAs have come to dominate storage shipments for high-performance and high-availability workloads. Compared to hard disk drive (HDD)-based storage systems, AFAs delivered better and more consistent performance, higher availability, better reliability, enabled the use of critical new technologies like compression and deduplication for latency-sensitive workloads, were far easier to manage than HDD-based systems, and lowered both energy and floorspace consumption. As a result, the market for “high-performance” 10K and 15K RPM HDDs has almost disappeared.Today, nearline HDDs are still in broad use with more capacity- and cost-conscious workloads, representing roughly 90% of overall worldwide capacity. Because of the lower cost of raw storage capacity with HDDs, many enterprises mistakenly perceive systems based around them as more cost-effective for capacity- and cost-conscious workloads. These workloads include use cases like data protection, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)-driven data analytics, log analytics, content repositories, electronic design automation (EDA), and high performance computing across verticals like financial services, video surveillance, media and entertainment, healthcare, and others. Even the staunchest proponents of HDDs would admit, however, that if flash cost the same as disk, the market for HDDs would disappear almost overnight. With innovations and efficiencies introduced by Pure Storage, the industry is now at that inflection point.With our Pure//E™ family of enterprise storage systems, Pure Storage can meet the requirements of all HDD-based enterprise block, file, or object workloads with all-flash platforms, including storage-as-a-service. And we can do that with an acquisition cost that is at or below that of HDD-based arrays and ongoing costs (energy, floor space, management, maintenance, technology refresh, etc.) that are 60-80% lower. If customers purchase through our storage-as-a-service offering Evergreen//One™, there can be even greater savings in storage and environmental costs. This white paper will explain how we can do that, based on certain product strategies and innovations that are unique to Pure Storage.The Right Metric for Cost-effective Storage Infrastructure: Cost per Effective GigabyteWhen enterprises size a storage system, they typically focus on purchasing a desired level of performance at a certain amount of target data storage capacity. Since nearly the beginning of magnetic spinning disk media, HDD vendors have represented the cost of their products using a raw capacity metric. The problem with that approach is that raw capacity does not determine how much data can be stored—it is effective capacity which determines that. And due to a variety of variables—formatting, on-disk data protection and capacity utilization, compression, deduplication, thin provisioning, and performance at the storage device level—effective capacity can be anywhere from 30% to 70% of raw capacity with HDDs. To get to the desired storage capacity to store a target amount of data, a lot more raw capacity has to be purchased. What enterprises should look at is how different media technologies and storage systems compare in terms of the cost of effective, not raw, capacity.
