Agencies collect mountains of data each day – contributing to the still-growing Federal data center sprawl. To help turn the tide, FDCCI just announced new guidance, the Data Center Policy, which aims to close over half of Federal data centers by 2018 – pushing agencies to modernize. The challenge is that many agencies are limited by legacy architectures not designed for the extreme performance needs of their mission-critical applications – especially as the quantity and variety of the data set grows. As agencies push to consolidate, they modernize, supported by solutions to manage the data that powers the broad range of Federal missions – from delivering healthcare to veterans, to monitoring financial market health, to ensuring we have time to prepare for the next hurricane. Every mission is data driven. Introducing Rack-Scale Flash EMC recently announced the first solution in a new category of Flash storage – “Rack Scale Flash” – designed to meet intense performance requirements, efficiently, and help modernize the data center. DSSD D5 is designed for the most data-intensive applications, both traditional and next-generation, which require extreme levels of performance and the lowest possible latency. With centralized management, and no single points of failure, DSSD D5 unlocks competitive agility, accelerates innovation, and reduces TCO. The technology consolidates multiple applications onto a single storage platform, and simplifies data warehouses by eliminating multiple copies of data, complex indexing, intricate partitioning, and the need for materialized views. And, it’s fast – DSSD D5 has an average latency as low as 100 microseconds, throughput as high as 100 GB/s, and IOPS of up to 10 million. Overall, DSSD D5 enables agencies to make their existing applications run faster, and capture time-sensitive opportunities that are otherwise unattainable. With these new levels of flash storage, agencies can modernize and seamlessly run mission critical applications at a speed and a price point unimaginable years ago. And, as Jeremy Burton said, “2016 is the year of all-flash in primary storage.” Bring your agency’s infrastructure up to speed with a faster, more efficient, and more reliable solution – flash is the future.
