In this episode, Nigel and Rick put the Pure Storage FlashArray under the microscope with the aid of Stephen Foskett (Gestalt IT, TechFieldDay and organiser of the Solid State Storage Symposium) and Matt Kixmoeller (VP of Products at Pure Storage). This is a great episode that gets under the hood of the recently announced FlashArray, as well as explaining why flash memory is revolutionizing the storage world, literally leaving legacy array architectures in the dust.

Some of the topics discussed include - How inline deduplication is possible because of flash memory How flash memory changes most of the accepted rules of storage array design Scale out architectures vs dual controller architectures Why consumer grade MLC and TLC flash will win Differences between Tier 0 and Tier 1 markets
