INTRODUCTION
• Flash storage is gaining popularity at a high rate because of its
greater speed and the ability to utilize less capacity.
• Flash allows organizations to enjoy advantages like consolidated
apps, reduced power consumption per machine, and increased
performance.
• NetApp provides all-flash FAS storage arrays that can be
implemented as a section of scaled-out architecture that is unified
and that bring numerous advantages to the leading industry data
management properties of ONTAP operating system.
• Combining enterprise data management and flash technology
bring benefits to three main areas: storage efficiency, availability,
and performance.

ALL-FLASH ARRAYS
• Solid state disks (SSDs) stores data in all-flash arrays.
• Flash media is used only for non-volatile and persistent storage-
data that cannot be affected by power failures or blackouts.
• Speed is one key property of all-flash because it has no moving
parts making it easier and faster to carry out I/O operations and
quick read and write. Because of the high performance offered by
all-flash makes it possible to run critical applications that require
high-speed data input.
• It also consumers less power because flash runs on solid state disks
that has no moving part thus requires not or less cooling.
