Evolving Cloud Storage Requirements and Data Growth
SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS business models are evolving to support enterprises for “mission-critical” type of infrastructure and applications. Consumers expect 24/7 access to cloud services and apps for entertainment and personal productivity.
For cloud service providers, the “mission-critical” nature of cloud services creates opportunities for higher performance tiers of service based on flash storage. In order to serve the new demands of cloud services, flash storage will have to perform with reliable throughput, data integrity & protection mechanisms, and better flash endurance.
Cloud Service Providers must also balance the insatiable appetite for data storage capacity at higher tiers of service without degradation to performance or storage cost overruns.
To help enable cloud service providers deliver richer data services and apps, while addressing growing data capacity demands, SanDisk offers a SATA SSD specifically designed for hyperscale environments.
