Product Spotlight: Expanding the Spectrum of Software Defined Storage

A good starting point for deploying SDS is cold storage. Shipments of capacity-optimized HDD storage systems will increase five-fold from 2012 to 2016. Demand for cold storage systems is driven by the growth of unstructured data such as mobile messages, surveillance video, and medical records.

Consequently, reducing the cost of cold storage is a high priority for storage architects. SDS is an excellent solution for addressing the rising cost of cold storage. And unlike transaction-intensive storage which is mission-critical, cold storage is not frequently accessed and a less risky environment for deploying new technology.

Pour les jeunes d'aujourd'hui, l'expression "il y a une appli pour ça" n'est pas juste un slogan publicitaire accrocheur. C'est un truisme, une réponse à plus ou moins toutes les questions qu'ils se sont jamais posées et une approche à chaque tâche. Peut-on en dire autant de la façon de travailler actuelle ? Eh bien, pas vraiment. On n'est plus dans le "il se pourrait qu'il y ait une appli pour ça, mais il faut que vous demandiez au service informatique, et elle pourrait être bloquée, ou ne pas fonctionner sur votre téléphone, et...", bref, ce n'est pas encore aussi évident qu'on pourrait le croire.
