Flash Memory Won’t Replace Disk Drives, Let Alone Tape

Flash maybe the shiny new toy that enterprises are beguiled with, but it’d be wrong to prophesy that flash would put older technologies like disk and tape out of business. In this episode of On-Premise IT Podcast, host Stephen Foskett talks with guests from the IT world – Jim Czuprynski, Richard Kenyan, and Ray Lucchesi about the growing prominence of solid state drives and what it means for disk and tape. Learn how the older storage media are keeping pace with the meteoric rise of flash, and if there will come a time when these older options will fall out of favor.
