DCIG 2017-18 All-Flash Array Buyer’s Guide

Recommended: HPE 3par StorServe, Dell SC 9000, HDS VSP, Huawei OceanStor and NetApp AFF A300

DCIG announced the availability of the 2017-18 All-flash Array Buyer’s Guide developed from the enterprise storage array body of research.

This guide weights, scores and ranks more than 100 features of twenty-five (25) products from 12 different storage vendor.

Using ranking categories of Recommended, Excellent and Good this guide offers much of the information an organization should need to make a highly-informed decision as to which all-flash storage array will suit their needs.

Overall Rankings

Each array included in guide had to meet the following criteria:

  • Must be available as an appliance that is available as a single SKU and includes its own hardware and software.
  • Must be marketed as an all-flash array (AFA). The best evidence of meeting this criterion is the existence of a specific all-flash SKU.
  • Must use flash memory as primary storage, not merely as an extended cache.
  • May permit storage expansion with disk shelves that contain HDDs or the virtualization of external disk based arrays-essentially converting the all-flash array into a hybrid storage array
  • Must support one or more of the following storage networking protocols: iSCSI, FC, IB, NFS.
  • There must be sufficient information available to DCIG to make meaningful decisions. DCIG makes a good faith effort to reach out and obtain information from as many storage providers as possible. However, products may be excluded because of a lack of sufficient reliable data.
  • Must be formally announced and/or available for purchase as of February 28, 2017.
