SDS has moved beyond early data center deployments and into cloud deployments and data targets. This linkage with cloud platforms is shaping the features and characteristics of SDS products. Here are four ways that hybrid cloud adoption influences SDS offerings.
Enterprise storage providers are embracing artificial intelligence and machine learning to create AI-enabled intelligent infrastructure. The focus and maturity of each vendor’s offering varies. Some are focused on individual array health, relying more on fault data than predictive analytics. Others focus on application-level performance and availability. Both approaches offer significant benefits to customers.
Cloud providers, healthcare, media and entertainment, government, and other enterprise organizations increasingly generate and store multiple petabytes (PBs) of data. This prompts many of them to seek out and obtain scalable storage solutions to host these amounts of data. As they do so, they should follow new rules when acquiring modern scalable storage solutions.
In a recent interview, James Coomer, Senior Vice President for Products at DDN Storage, revealed how the largest private storage company in the world is now bringing its HPC expertise to the enterprise, and enterprise features to HPC.
