#54 – Are we at All-flash and HDD Array Price Parity?

#54 – Are we at All-flash and HDD Array Price Parity?

This week, Chris and Martin discuss the subject of price parity between all-flash and hybrid or HDD-based storage arrays.  From Martin's perspective, he is starting to see vendor pricing getting close to parity and it making more sense to buy all-flash than a spinning media device.  However, what are the issues?  TCO is one - it's not all about array pricing.  Also, flash off … [Read more...] about #54 – Are we at All-flash and HDD Array Price Parity?

All-Flash – Does it Justify a Market Segment?

28 October 2016 by Chris Evans
