&lt;p class="std-text">NAND Flash contract prices surged 55% to 60% in Q1 2026, forcing an immediate rethink of primary storage economics. &lt;strong>Komprise Flash Stretch&lt;/strong> argues that intelligent data tiering is the only viable defense against skyrocketing hardware costs and supply chain instability without incurring vendor lock-in.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Primary storage reclamation cuts costs by 75%</title><link>https://storagenews.top/posts/primary-storage-reclamation-cuts-costs-by-75/</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://storagenews.top/posts/primary-storage-reclamation-cuts-costs-by-75/</guid><description>&lt;meta charset="utf-8">

&lt;p class="std-text">Reclaiming 70% of existing capacity offsets the need for new hardware, according to Komprise COO Krishna Subramanian. &lt;strong>Flash Stretch&lt;/strong> proves that strategic &lt;strong>data reclamation&lt;/strong> is the only viable defense against spiraling infrastructure costs in an era of artificial intelligence demand. Readers will learn how &lt;strong>primary storage reclamation&lt;/strong> directly supports modern data economics by freeing high-speed tiers for critical AI inferencing workloads. We dissect the &lt;strong>Flash Stretch assessment&lt;/strong> architecture, detailing how it analyzes technical metadata to generate specific heatmaps and capacity models without altering production environments. Finally, we examine measurable &lt;strong>ROI initiatives&lt;/strong>, citing Pfizer&amp;#039;s success in slashing storage and disaster recovery expenses by 75% through aggressive tiering to object storage.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
