Flash Forward: Get Ready to Deliver Flash as a Service

August 2015
Andrew Grimes
Principal Architect for Flash
NetApp
You've probably seen the headlines announcing that "flash changes everything" in the storage industry. The truth is that the fundamentals of storage remain unchanged. You still need to serve data with reliability, to protect your data, and to deliver IT services across a range of requirements, regardless of the media under the data. But as flash technology matures, it lets us change the way we deliver those services: with greater efficiency and performance, and with the potential for major savings for your organization.
The evolution of flash goes hand in hand with other changes sweeping through our industry, most obviously the migration of data to the cloud. Any storage solution using flash shouldn't isolate you from that change. Today, most flash solutions are silos with a few features that take you back to the days of stand-alone servers and external backup software. To drive business value, flash must support your enterprise data management, both on premises and in the cloud—without compromises.
At this October's NetApp® Insight™ conference in Las Vegas, I'll be sharing some ideas for how to make that happen.
Flash Matures Beyond Silos
Initially, flash was all about raw speed. If you had an application that couldn't tolerate high latency, it was worth the high price and single-purpose performance focus to use flash media. But disk prices are reaching a tipping point. NetApp estimates that by 2016, flash solid state disk (SSD) prices will drop below prices for serial-attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives (HDDs).
As a result, flash technology is rapidly replacing traditional 10k spinning HDDs. The problem with the current iterations of these new arrays, however, is that they are just silos of flash with limited features and tools for data management.
Early adopters of flash were willing to overlook the inadequate data management and data protection features of flash arrays to gain the benefits for database acceleration, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), real-time apps, and other performance-driven applications. But as more enterprise operations move to cloud or hybrid cloud environments, it's no longer realistic to expect enterprises to work around flash arrays' limitations.
The era of the shared flash storage array is here. Yes, this new class of flash array is fast. But it doesn't make you go without the features you expect from enterprise storage.

What "Enterprise-Grade" Flash Really Means
Flash arrays that run a range of applications are becoming the norm. In fact, they are considered table stakes for the flash space. Shared multi-tenant flash arrays are going to be the standard, and if a vendor can't innovate to that standard, its days are numbered.
To support these changes, IT consumers of flash will need all the tools and features of traditional HDD arrays merged with all the benefits of flash. The performance is already in place. Now it's a race to give the enterprise the rest of what it needs for enterprise-grade flash.
But what, exactly, is "enterprise-grade flash"? In addition to the assumed capability of superb storage efficiencies, it must also deliver:
A unified architecture that supports both networked-attached storage (NAS) and storage-area network (SAN) protocols
Scale-out storage with dynamic capacity additions
Built-in backups
Cloud-enabled operations for the complete data life cycle
Quality of Service (QoS) to manage and enforce service levels
Automation and orchestration
Application integration
Secure multi-tenancy
Snapshot copies for on-array backups
Storage-reduction techniques, such as deduplication and thin provisioning
Synchronous and asynchronous replication
Storage encryption
All of these capabilities are available today in NetApp All Flash FAS systems, thanks to the powerful data management capabilities of our Data ONTAP® storage operating system (OS). Because our AFF8000 All Flash FAS systems run the Data ONTAP OS, they automatically inherit the full complement of enterprise-grade capabilities within their all-flash architecture.
"Our dealership customers expect a live market view of vehicle inventory and pricing. To provide dealers with real-time data, we've moved a 15 terabyte Oracle database to a NetApp FAS8080 EX all-flash array with outstanding results. Database latency now averages a mere 370 microseconds, helping us provide consistently excellent performance and maintain the attention of the dealer community. And our IT operations team can use all the NetApp software features they have come to rely on, such as deduplication, replication, snapshot copies, and thin clones."

Flash as a Service
As flash adoption becomes mainstream, flash will become a service level of your infrastructure—a way to deliver multi-tier performance, all from the same media types.
Enterprise IT is now about delivering services to the organization. Those services can be co-located off site or delivered on premises, or by a service provider, or in the cloud. Modern IT has to support all methods of service delivery so that your data is not stranded.
Flash must be a part of this service delivery model, providing tier 0, tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, data recovery (DR), archive, and cloud data support. Your flash storage can't imprison your data. Your shared multi-tenant flash arrays must work with everything in your IT environment. For example, you need:
Replication from flash to capacity drives for cost savings, development/test, DR, and archive
Replication from flash to cloud for cost savings, development/test, DR, and archive
Efficient flash storage management across both sites and platform sizes, and as your IT environment grows, evolves, and scales
Benefits of Enterprise-Grade Flash
Is enterprise-grade flash really that important? Does it deliver real benefits? Our answer is a resounding YES. Here are a few examples:
Increased storage efficiency. Achieve higher petabyte (PB) per full-time equivalent (FTE) data administrator, up to 2PB to 3PB per admin.
Power and space-cooling savings. Replace three floor tiles by 8U of rack space, or more.
Improved organizational efficiency. Use fewer technologies, and have fewer people to manage.
Scalability. Migrate easily between underlying technologies as your IT environment evolves.
Reduced costs. Reuse your expensive assets for years to come, with nondisruptive operation (NDO) and scale-out capabilities. NetApp customers report an average disk age of seven years with our technology. This longevity allows you to reuse and keep your disk even as you upgrade.

Let's Talk More
By now, I hope you're convinced that the flash revolution is real and that there's much to be gained by putting enterprise-grade flash to work for you.
Unfortunately, however, the revolution has caught many storage vendors off guard. They're scrambling to invent the features NetApp has been providing all along. Our All Flash FAS systems prove that enterprise-grade flash is available today, not as some future promise.
The Data Fabric, enabled by NetApp, is another big part of the story of our evolving industry. The Data Fabric works with our flash solutions to give you cradle-to-grave, on-premises-to-cloud life-cycle support for your data.
I hope you'll join us at the NetApp Insight conference in Las Vegas in October. We can talk about how NetApp enterprise-grade flash, with cloud enablement, can help address your current and future data issues.
The market is changing. Are you ready?

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are

I get following message:
Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
How can I solve this?

People,
Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.

Error: Flash Player "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."

I get the following message as soon as I boot up my PC:
"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
According to Adobe, this is the first time they've heard of this issue.

RE:

Unchecking auto updates does not stop the message for me.
Sorry to hear that too. I actually recommended this to a few friends who were having the same issue, and it worked for them.
But, I'm wondering.... Have you tried disabling the check for updates settings in both the (Window's Control Panel's) Global settings manager and the (online) Global Notifications Settings panel? (That's the one on this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l ) On that page, click on the "Globe with the Check Mark" tab and make sure that the box is blank.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602 Stopped Working & was closed

The title above is the Windows error flag I keep getting. I am running Windows Vista 32 basic with IE 9. and Flash Player version 11.7.700.224... I have tried an uninstall (which says it worked) and then a reinstall of Flash Player (which also says it worked; and appears to be truely working) but I keep getting the message box about the update service which is annoying at the least. Is there a reference to 11.6 r602 that should have been erased? (I'm assuming this was the 'OLD' flash player number) or is this an actual problem/ conflict? Did some recent Microsoft Update monkey with the Flash Player Update program? What do you suggest?

I also discovered that an additonal copy of 11.6r602 was hiding in C:/Windows/system32. it is also possible that a copy is in C:/Windows/system32/macromed.
Important: Read the NOTE: (below at bottom) first before attempting this.
If you use Windows Explorer and find it there try and delete them/it. If they/it are/is stubborn:
Try 1.) Rt.click on an open area of the task bar; Click Task Manager. 2.) Click the 'Processes' tab. 3.)Try to find the "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602" description and highlight it. 4.) Click 'End Process'. 5.) Close the Task Manager.
Then Try to delete again. If it is Still being stubborn:
Try a.)Close Windows Explorer. b.)Rt.click on Windows Explorer icon; Rt. click on "Run as Administrator". c.) go find the offending file and highlight it. d.)Rt. click on the highlighted file and Rt.Click on delete. e.)authorize the delete. and close windows explorer.
Then, Finally: Rt.click on and EMPTY the 'RECYCLE BIN' !!! Restart your computer and go see if you can find any trace of the offending file. It Should NOT be there.
NOTE: Do NOT do any of the above until you read the next paragraph!
The file that you are looking for is 'FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe' The 'exe ' may not be displayed. but you are supposed to find a copy of 'FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe' in C:/Windows/system32/macromed/flash. BUT it is a Later Version.
Hover your cursor over the name and read the version. if it is NOT 'file version 11.6.602.180' LEAVE IT ALONE. If it IS that version Delete it.
This is what worked for me.

Any solutions to stop the Flash player Update service 11.6 r602 from crashing?

Hello this is the second time i post something that is related to this my computer keeps running the Flash player Update service and that keeps crashing causing some of my games to crash also. I run a windows 7 professional edition on my computer. This problem started about 2 weeks ago and it seems that i am getting ignored by all the staff and everybody else because seems to give me advice. I have tried multiple step, i have tried a clean boot, i also did a scan of the security files of microst to se if there was something wrong with the files i know it's a bug in the coding. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling problem is it's always running and i cannot disable it because i don't see any programs running on flash in my process. I have talk to multiple tech support and since this has been going on for two weeks and adobe has no tech support only a community of experts it has not gotten resolved and won't be anytime soon so plz if you have advice plz inlighten me cuz i am done it's getting really old really fast. I am aslo having the same problem as these people with this thread here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5472502#5472502
They got answered but i did not seeing as i asked the question three day ago
I have unchecked the service in msconfig.
I have the current version of Flash Player.
I use Google Chrome and Mozilla Fire Fox.

Hi, I've been working on this problem on my computer, windows vista, for a while now
and since nothing can correct this problem
I just now discovered that there are two flashplayerupdateservice.exe on my hard drive!
one in my windows\system32 directory and
the other one in windows\system32\MacroMed\Flash
exactly the same version, same everything, 11.6.602.180 both of them
I suspect having two copies of the same program is what makes it crash.
Can Adobe please fix this problem? It's just annoying, does not hurt and you can leave it alone
and go on with your business, but it would be nice to get rid of that error message.
Thanks

Error Flash Player Update service 11.6 r602 ... Bad file

I'm running on Windows Vista 32 with IE9. (an old Dell). I first noticed this problem when the Latest version of Flash Player was updated. Periodically windows will show an Error Flag saying the Flash Player update Service has stopped working...sometimes this flag has interfered with the smooth functioning of programs that I have running; mostly it is an annoyance.
I asked about this last week and was told to try a manual uninstall and check for the removal of all the files. Here is where I ran into the problem. But first, the steps. The Uninstaller did most of the work.
All of the rest of the files were easy to delete; EXCEPT for one. In C:/windows/system32/macromed/Flash is the file 'FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe' 11.6 r602 Version 11.6.602.180 ... It refuses to be deleted !!! I think this is the source of all the problems. I think that it is supposed to function Only with FP Ver. 11.6. and when an updated version is installed, it is left behind AND CAN'T BE deleted.
I checked the Permissions of this file and the user can only read and execute the file, nothing else. Trying to change the permissions gets you a duplicate file that can be deleted. the original file is untouched.
I have tried as Admin to delete it, no luck. I tried the "Unlocker" program and it can't find a handle. It offers to delete it on next reboot, but the file is still there.
I tried to go at it using DOS commands and get an Access Denied. Short of using a .357 Magnum; How do I kill this File????
By the way, I went ahead and reinstalled the latest FP and it works fine... Just this annoying flag keeps poping up every now and then.
P.S. I'm thinking about starting the computer in Safemode or do without windows (DOS only) and see if it will let me delete it that way, but I'm not sure I can remember all the old DOS command structure that I need.
John

An Update: The DOS attempt did not work. (access denied) Don't Bother trying. program was in use, even though it stopped working. I finally figured out that the program somehow gets started a WIN startup... I used "Glary Utilities" in the Modules section... - System Tools - Process Manager: to Stop the Process. Then I used in the Privacy & Security tag - File Shredder: to erase the file. ... But It Came back...again.
So I did Another Clean Uninstall After I first (as Administrator (Right click on Delete)) deleted the file C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\ FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe (Version 11.6.602.180) Be sure that it is the Older file that you delete!
Refer to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315 for the procedure.
I followed the steps carefully and double checked that all and ONLY the files called for were deleted. It surprised me that in step 5. I found still another copy of the offending file (same date) FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe (I deleted it to (as Admin (right click on delete))).
Finally I did a new Install by going to http://get.adobe.com/FlashPlayer and following the process. Note: If you have WeatherBug, shut it down first before going to the installer. (otherwise you will just have to shut it down anyway and the install may not finish (took me 2 tries)) Also, do not close your IE page until the installer tells you to or it may get confused (it did on me the first time).
I (Hopefully) have this problem corrected now.
Note: After the New install if you use windows Explorer & go to C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash and look at the file FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe you will see that it has a Newer version.

Still Using Tiger, Was getting Ready to Install Leopard..

Hello-
I am still using Tiger but was getting ready to purchase Leopard, get the Missing Manual for Leopard and then Snow Leopard came out. So, I am getting a new MacBook Pro and that comes or is already installed with Snow Leopard. I was going to order one of David Pogue Manuals: Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual, or another one when someone changes, I think, from a Windowez-based OS to Snow Leopard OS X.
After thinking about it, I am wondering should I be getting both or for now just the Leopard Missing Manual rather then Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual. Is Snow Leopard like Leopard? Do you think I would be better off knowing or having a reference available for Leopard and trying to use The Leopard Manual initially rather then the snow Leopard. From what I have read, it sounds like Snow Leopard is almost like a major Leopard update, but I could be wrong.
I am not sure. I don't want to be (again) like the lost guy because I skipped a step. Also, there are a lot of manuals out on these topics but David P's is still not out (as far as I know). Would anybody recommend one of the other manuals that are out?
Thanks for your help. For somebody like me learning this stuff is hard. It does not come naturally so I am looking forward to having a good resource like these Missing Manuals available.

Neville- (I hope you can read both sections because I am curious to know if you are familiar wit what I am trying to describe in the second paragraph.)
I am not sure I can accurately explain why I have not done these, but I did do something like this and I had the applecare lady on the phone so I knew she could help me if I messed up. It was something very similar but there were 2 options to repair (choose repair I should say). One said it was very short in length and the other was very long. I do not remember holding down the "C" key but I might have held down the command or some other key. Also I did not get the chance to go any further because I did not pick the short method, I chose the long one and I had to run. The applecare lady was actually not on the phone the whole time she gave me her extension to reach her if I needed to. I thought that was nice.
When I got the MBP about 3 years ago, I was going to do some fixing and I called applecare. They told me (and her is where I am not sure of my facts) that the TechTool should not be used for some reason. They told me to go to the apple support page, get a DVD that allows you to "write" and find the latest DeluxeTechTool (which apparently did not come with my machine because it had not been out yet). Once I copy the Tool from the site to the DVD, I then use that and insert it before I boot up and the rest I forget.
Do you know anything about this? I remember going to the area she said and seeing the ability to download and copy the newer DeluxeTechTool but I did not do it because at Best Buy I could not find anybody who knew the kind of DVD I would need nor what the ones they did have were for.
I do need this info. too because I have never backed up the machine. If I get a new one I want to get into the habit of backing up all the time, but I will have to learn to. If you know of where a good place is on the web that describes what the R, RW, C, CR, etc. mean for the DVDs and CDs. Even at Costco every worker in electronics did not know the answer to that question.
Some I would need to just burn or copy one thing onto either the CD or the DVD like that DeluxeTechTool and some I would want to keep copying or burning multiple times. And then even some I would like to be able to burn songs on them and transfer them to my iTunes and use that same CD or DVD for a movie to be able to do it over and over again. (Unless the quality goes down with each copy and overwrite I do.)
thanks for your help with the "repair procedure" but I could tell there are some things left out that I would not know what to do. I know now because of what I recently did by the "Apple self test" or whatever it was called I did. Questions I would have would be; when you say insert the original software DVD, I would need to know when do I insert and I think I have 2 CDs that came with the machine. Is there one that says "software" and the other says "hard drive?"
When you say C key are you talking about the key with only the "C" on it?
If I repair permissions all the time by using disk utility while the notebook is on, why dos it say it repaired so many (I forge the word it used) but it will then give what it repaired. It will say things like ro-ororro-o should have been ro-ro- . Things like that.
My final question is, somebody told me if I hold down the shift key and restart the computer and keep holding the shift key until the turning wheel stops and it says "Safe Mode." They told me doing this is the same as repairing the permissions by the more complex way. it is interesting because it does create some a long what appears to be either a file name or something like when you start disk utility just by using the utility.app on my dock, once you start that up and get ready to use it there are 2 long (I am not even sure what to call them) but one has Media in it and then the long list of letters and I think numbers and one just has the long list of letters/or numbers. It is here that I never understood which one is my hard drive and which one to select or repair the permissions. The example is terrible because the picture in the Help page shows a list that is about double the length of mine and is very hard to know which list to pick to be repaired. Also when they say pick your hard drive, I have no idea which one is my hard drive. It does not say "hard drive" next to the numeric code but I think one is left aligned and the other is aligned center or something like that. Also, one code I think has "Media" next to the numeric name.
Thanks for listening to this. I doubt it makes much sense but maybe with you seeming like an expert in Macs, you might be able to figure out what I am trying to say.
Peace
