The Source Episode #6: Flash.  If you know me, you know that I’ve spent a lot of time in the middle of EMCs Flash initiatives, as documented at www.insideflash.com. It’s only natural for me to have Dan Cobb, VP of Flash and Non-Volatile Strategy on The Source.  XtremIO is revolutionizing the way EMC customers manage and deploy application infrastructure – but XtremIO is more about software than Flash.  Flash is a storage media used by every EMC Product team. Did you know EMC has been leveraging Flash in the form of SSD for over a decade?  Dan shares some insight into how we got here, and what the future holds.  Be sure to subscribe to The Source Podcast on iTunes and Google Play.
