Prediction No. 3: All-flash arrays (AFAs) will become the new norm

In 2015, AFAs will continue to gain the most traction in the enterprise as the market will continue to shift away from traditional storage arrays. AFAs will become the new norm because the sub-millisecond latency of flash will continue to increase the quality and performance of every application. –Stewart
