Has anyone seriously contemplated / experimented with All Flash Arrays for storing production data? Kaminario is claiming $1 per "effective" GB (so presumably after inline compression / dedup) for their K2 array, and perhaps foolishly promises: So that comes awfully close to Dan's "100TB for $100K" requirement, but with a lot more than 100K IOPS. OK, so minor detail, it doesn't include a NAS head.http://kaminario.com/blog/press-releases/kaminario-cuts-flash-storage-costs-less-1gb-introduction-k2-v5-5/ "In addition, Kaminario customers will continue to be guaranteed effective capacity; if a customer is unable to store the capacity that is guaranteed, they will receive additional hardware at no expense to expand their system and fulfill that guarantee." |
