Robert Lee, the Chief Architect with FlashBlade, takes the stage to get into a technical deep dive on how FlashBlade is designed to grow above fifteen blades. In the discussion, he reviews how FlashBlade is focusing on linear scaling, allowing for a single namespace into the petabyte range, while at the same time growing IOPS performance at the same scale. This includes an architectural breakdown of how this is feasible.
