How to Get Your Application Ready for Computational Storage Architecture

Posted on July 25, 2019 by George Crump

At its most basic, computational storage involves putting processing power where the data resides. In the case of flash storage, a computational storage vendor installs processing power on the flash drive. Imagine an array full of 100 flash drives; now…

Impact of Computational Storage on Data Center Design

Posted on March 27, 2019 by Krista Macomber

Previously, Storage Switzerland defined computational storage as an architecture that enables data to be processed within the storage device in lieu of being transported to the host server’s central processing unit (CPU). Computational storage reduces the input/output (I/O) transaction load…
