Purity: Building Fast, Highly-Available Enterprise Flash Storage from Commodity Components

Summary: Purity is an all-flash enterprise storage system built from commodity components, with compression and dedup. Novel primitives: monotonic writes and predicate-based elision; SSD-aware redundancy enables sub-ms latency and data reduction on a single scale-up appliance.
