Taking The Load off of Networks with Computational Storage

Posted on March 7, 2019 by George Crump

It used to be that the storage media was the slowest component of the storage infrastructure. Now, thanks to flash, it is the fastest. Long before IO leaves the storage system and traverses the network, bottlenecks begin. In fact, the…
