Paper Title: Optimize Enterprise Applications with Shared Accelerated All-Flash Storage

Paper Abstract: In a world of fast, pervasive networking, ubiquitous flash memory, and an evolving scale-out application architecture, next-gen shared accelerated storage has the power to unite both networked and direct-attached storage in a single, shared architecture. A shared design consolidates data silos, accelerates production, DevOps, and data analytics, and helps enterprises pivot to a data-centric architecture – one that will drive intelligence and advantage from an organization’s most valuable asset: data. Specific case studies demonstrate the real-world benefits that shared accelerated all-flash storage architectures bring to enterprises.
