How to learn the new architectures available to them and how to deal with application incompatibilities as they arise. In this ChalkTalk Video, SwiftStack’s CTO and Founder Joe Arnold joins Storage Switzerland to discuss why IT professionals should implement an on-premises cloud-like storage system first and look for a system that natively supports legacy protocols like NFS and SMB.
