What’s Your Data Storage Challenge?
Three people, three data storage challenges. When it came down to the total cost of legacy hard disk drives (HDDs) vs. solid state drives (SSDs), SSDs came out the winner.
For Each of Them, the Status Quo Came Up Short
Meet Our 3 Data Storage Pros
MEET ANNA
IT Manager for a start-up that delivers web content
MEET AMIR
Database Administrator for a midsize financial services company
MEET JOHN
Storage Architect contractor specializing in big data
Migrating from on-premises storage to rented rack space in a co-location environment, Anna needs to save space.
Updates, patches, tuning and underlying database optimizing can’t meet the application responsiveness needs of Amir’s users.
John needs a big data platform to improve ingest, manage immense data lakes, run queries faster and handle unforecasted demand.
They Set Up an HDD vs. SSD Comparison
