Abstract

With all of the talk about how storage systems will be impacted by large amounts of relatively inexpensive Flash little has been said about how file systems will need to change to take advantage of it. This tutorial will cover how file systems are evolving tiered architectures to leverage Flash.

Learning Objectives

• Understanding how Flash will impact file systems.
• Characteristics of Flash that are relevant to file systems.
• How tiering works in a file system and whether it’s better handled at the array.
