How the Right Storage Plays a Role in Optimizing Database Environments
Introduction
An organization’s application environment fuels its business success in many ways, including by bolstering customer engagement and accelerating the pace of innovation. But operational efficiency must be behind all that. Consider some of the most important digital transformation initiatives this year, which center on becoming more operationally efficient (cited by 54% of survey respondents), developing new data-centric products (cited by 47%), and creating a more differentiated customer experience (cited by 45%).1 Achieving those objectives requires excellent database performance and functionality.At a time when many companies are seeing explosive data growth generated by digital transformation, they need to properly store, manage, and analyze those increasing volumes of data if they want to derive meaningful insights, make informed decisions, and reduce the burden on developers and workload administrators.
Prioritizing simplicity and optimizing the application “experience” is important, but it will affect architecture and deployment decisions spanning both on- and off-premises environments. There’s a lot at stake. Fortunately, Pure Storage has technology that can help ensure success: Pure’s storage solutions for databases, such as FlashArray, simplify management, reduce risk, lower TCO, and enhance performance (including faster backups and restores).
