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 flas

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
