Traditional tiered storage solutions sufficed in a world accustomed to hard drive latencies and smaller datasets. However, that world is vanishing. Modern enterprise storage needs to provide the performance demanded by new AI, machine learning, and real-time applications fuelled by ever-growing workloads.

Since datasets keep expanding, storage clusters must scale with them. That includes embracing all manner of client sites, both local and cloud-based. These goals cannot be achieved without redefining traditional storage approaches. While automation and data management systems can help, the constant movement of data continues to add complexity and creates unnecessary data copies, thus wasting infrastructure resources that could otherwise be put to better use.

That is why several companies are turning to a universal storage solution that provides a single, global namespace so applications have access to all company data, eliminating the need to move or copy data between tiers. So how can you reduce data center complexity? How can you combine all-Flash performance with the economics of archive storage and the simplicity of plug-and-play network-attached storage (NAS) connectivity?

Join VAST Data and a select group of industry thought leaders to discuss how you can consolidate your data center to a single tier of storage and future proof of your storage investment.
