In this Lightboard Video, Joel Groen, Director of Cloud Go-to-Market for Qumulo, joined Storage Switzerland’s Founder and Lead Analyst, George Crump, to discuss cloud file storage requirements. Legacy architectures aren’t suited to provide a seamless “lift and shift” of workloads…
Unstructured data has exploded in terms of the how much of it companies are generating and storing. Also unstructured data has increased in value to the organization. Legacy file systems typically used to store unstructured data can’t meet this growth…
Regulations have proliferated beyond a concentration in a single industry (such as the financial community) or geographical region (such as Europe). Companies do business globally, and the importance of data is causing new regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act…
Companies in industries such as the media and entertainment vertical are looking to complement their on-premises data centers with the use of cloud services. The cloud can help to facilitate cross-site collaboration, remote workers, expansion into new regions, and more…
In today’s era of regulations, the role of archive and long-term retention data is changing dramatically. No longer can data simply be shipped off to a “cheap and deep” repository with the hope that it will never need to be…
Backup is the one process that almost everyone in IT would opt out of if given the choice. In addition to the IT management burden there is often the burden of the infrastructure itself, a never ending need for more…
Legacy network attached storage (NAS) architectures, simply put, fall short when it comes to accommodating modern unstructured data requirements. One of the key problems with these architectures is that, generally speaking, they were not designed to support the unprecedented counts…
Meeting requirements for infinite data retention and always-on business continuity is, practically speaking, not possible without using cloud resources in some way. On-premises backup and disaster recovery infrastructures are fraught with unpredictable costs and heavy operational overhead. At the same…
The modern workload set has fundamentally changed the nature of and also how we handle data sets. Previously, critical business applications were typically driven by the processing of large, monolithic databases that were comprised of large files. Today, more and…
The data center is a series of networks. There are networks that connect servers to users and networks that connect storage to servers. Even within servers and storage there are networks to connect CPU to IO devices like flash drives…
