All Flash Storage
A traditional hard disk drive (HDD) consists of a spinning disk with a read/write head on a mechanical arm called an
actuator.
Solid State Drives (SSD)
, on the other hand, has an array of semiconductor memory organized as a disk drive,
using integrated circuits (ICs) rather than magnetic or optical storage media for better performance.
An
All Flash Array (AFA)
is a solid state storage disk system that contains multiple Solid State Drives - which has no
moving parts - instead of spinning hard disk drives so that we can get hundreds or thousands of IOPS.
AFA
Comprehensive Storage Efficiency relies on key features like data deduplication, compression, thin provisioning,
cloning and others that can boost the utilization and reduce primary storage requirements.
AFA
can also lower the operation costs by taking up less floor space, less power and cooling requirements.
Dell EMC Unity AFA
product line sets the new standards for storage with a powerful combination of simplicity, modern
design, affordable price point, and deployment flexibility.
Dell EMC Unity AFA Differentiation :

DELL EMC Unity All-Flash product line sets new standards for
storage with compelling simplicity, modern design, flexible
deployments and affordable prices to meet the market
demands for all-flash. Dell EMC Unity All-Flash adds four new
models; starting with the 350F, and scaling to the 450F, 550F
and then the 650F, optimized for all-flash performance.
The DELL EMC Unity 550F has helped the university by
increasing the performance and reducing the TCO (Total Cost
of Ownership) with All-inclusive, feature rich, array based
software that comes standard with the storage.
BANNER services
are hosted in the Unity 550F that
delivers consistent performance and low response times
to the hosts.
