Flash is a disruptive technology that has already revolutionized mobile computing once with NAND flash in digital audio players, mobile phones and a handful of other personal devices back in the '90s, but a new revolution in the enterprise storage ecosystem is in the works. All-flash arrays (AFAs) are a nascent technology that has not been as widely adopted as flash in SAN/NAS hybrid arrays and flash in servers, and 2014 is the year in which enterprises are seriously addressing AFAs for inclusion in their environments.
