The Flash Reckoning
Field Lessons on Right-Sizing Storage for AI
AI workloads are devouring every flash SSD, sending NAND lead times out over a year and prices in the wrong direction. Meanwhile, high-density HDD has quietly become one of the most strategic assets in the data center and smart architects are rethinking what actually needs to live on flash.
Join Scality and Supermicro for a candid, field-tested conversation on how to rightsize storage in the age of AI scarcity.
In this session, we’ll cover:
- What’s really happening in the storage market right now
- A framework for deciding what earns flash vs. HDD
- Real customer stories from the field
- How to design one architecture that flexes across both tiers
- What we’d do differently if starting from scratch today
If you’re planning infrastructure for AI, backup, or data lakes in the next 12 months, this one’s for you.
