What is value-optimised storage?

In small offices and large enterprises alike, the act of setting up a local storage solution is often a balancing act between cost, capacity, and performance. Value-optimised storage is data storage optimised for cost per capacity ($/GB). Value-optimised storage solutions are designed to accommodate business-critical workloads, virtual machines, backups, email, and test/dev environments.

People also ask:

1. What are the benefits of value-optimised storage?

The benefits of deploying your own?value-optimised storage solution include:

  • Reduced storage costs
  • The ability to hyper-consolidate large volumes of data
  • The flexibility to optimise storage costs by storage tier
  • Optimal storage capacity and performance for business-critical workloads
Learn More Learn More

2. What are value-optimised storage use cases?

Value-optimised?storage is best used for applications, such as:

  • Business-critical databases
  • Policy-based VM-tiering
  • Disaster recovery for less performance-sensitive workloads
  • Backups, snapshots, and mirroring
  • Multi-cloud test/dev workload consolidation

3. What is QLC Flash?

Quad-level cell (QLC) flash is a high-capacity NAND memory technology that delivers a per-terabyte cost that matches or beats hard-disk drives (HDDs).

Learn More Learn More

4. What are the differences: QLC vs. SLC vs. MLC vs. TLC?

QLC flash is the latest in a long trend of squeezing more bits per cell within a NAND flash device. Here’s a brief overview of how the technology has evolved over time:

  • Single-level cell (SLC) flash: One bit per cell, two possible voltage states
  • Multi-level cell (MLC) flash: Two bits per cell, four possible voltage states
  • Triple-level cell (TLC) flash: Three bits per cell, eight possible voltage states
  • Quad-level cell (QLC) flash: Four bits per cell, 16 possible voltage states
