Flash-based storage:

In general, flash based storage is the best choice when most of the following conditions are true:

  • Applications significantly underutilize disk capacity to meet the strict performance requirements
  • Applications with the most demanding IOPS or response time requirements: transactional databases (OTLP), analytical databases (OLAP), virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), high performance computing (HPC)
  • Reliable sub-millisecond response time is needed to speed up real-time enterprise applications: data warehouses, content delivery networks, rendering and video editing or modeling and simulation
  • Demanding environmental requirements: physical space or power limitations, or a rugged environment with highly compress-able data types
  • Virtual storage environments can easily add a high performance flash tier and accelerate general workloads automatically

Disk-based storage

In general, hard drive based storage is the best choice when most of the following conditions are true:

  • You need a flexible, higher capacity, good performance and advanced local and remote copy services
  • Disk or SSD performance is acceptable to meet the demands of the applications in the system
  • Increased choice and flexibility in subsystem design is desired
  • Encryption of data-at-rest is required

Tape storage

In general when you need extreme high capacity at lowest TCO,

  • Tape based back-up
  • Long term Archive requirements

Cloud storage

In general cloud storage is a good option when you have regulatory compliance that requires you to archive and recall of email, file and other content

  • Low TCO
  • Lower management costs
  • Often used in conjunction with on-site storage solutions
