The survey indicates that Europe is mature for this change, with 90% of respondents across all three countries stating that this move to all-flash object storage will occur within five years.

"Object storage has begun to embrace flash media and, as the cost of flash decreases, it is likely to become the default media for object storage and will effectively make object storage the new primary storage for a much broader range of applications."

Will flash-based object storage dominate storage platforms? 77% of UK respondents said this move to flash-based object storage will happen in the mid-term, while respondents in France and Germany leant towards the short term.

3% of respondents said that it would occur within a year, 40% between one and three years, 37% between three and five years, and 1% beyond five years.

UK respondents in the business and professional services sector were most likely to state that the move to flash-based object storage will occur between three and five years, at 71% compared to an average across all UK respondents of 37%. UK respondents from smaller organizations were more likely to state that this transformation will occur within five years compared to larger organizations, at 92% to 76% respectively.

These European results are in line with research carried out by ESG in the US earlier in the year, which found that 77% of IT professionals at organizations currently using all-flash object storage said the technology has had a high impact or has been a game-changing technology in their on-premises storage environment.
