Solid-state disks becomes the norm. In 2014, SSD-based storage was considering a high cost option with many cloud providers, similar to what Bluetooth in cars was several years ago. Expect to see standardization on SSD-based storage solutions that accelerate deployment of applications that need high IOPS (Input/Output Instructions per Second). Because no one wants to go back to traditional disks once they experience SSDs, they will become the default, not an optional upgrade. Backing this trend is the larger capacities, increased write endurance and lower cost of SSDs as the technology matures.
