This paper explains why traditional NAS systems cannot support modern real-time, data-intensive applications. It highlights five core benefits of next-generation all-flash file storage: consistent low latency, parallel performance for AI/ML pipelines, rapid ingest of large datasets, seamless scalability without rearchitecting, and simplified operations. The document emphasizes the importance of eliminating bottlenecks caused by legacy metadata handling and multi-controller limitations. It also shows how unified file and object architectures support diverse enterprise workflows—analytics, simulation, content generation, and rapid restore—while improving reliability, resiliency, and operational efficiency at scale.
