Gartner analyst Valdis Filks predicts that by 2020, 50 percent of data centers will use only all-flash arrays (AFA) for primary data, up from less than 1 percent in the middle of 2016.

By 2020, the firm predicts all-flash array revenue will reach $9.67 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Who dominates in this field? Just about every vendor says they are number one.

For example, both list the top AFA vendors as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emc.com\/en-us\/storage\/xtremio-all-flash.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dell EMC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purestorage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pure Storage<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www-03.ibm.com\/systems\/storage\/flash\/v9000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IBM<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netapp.com\/us\/products\/storage-systems\/all-flash-array\/solidfire-web-scale.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NetApp<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hpe.com\/uk\/en\/storage\/flash-hybrid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HPE<\/a>, though not necessarily in that order.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.enterprisestorageforum.com\/storage-hardware\/buying-guide-all-flash-storage.html\">http:\/\/www.enterprisestorageforum.com\/storage-hardware\/buying-guide-all-flash-storage.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\nSource: DRJ New feed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All-flash storage is clearly on the up-and-up.
