PREDICTIONS
FOR THE DATA
STORAGE INDUSTRY
As this year takes hold,
we are beginning to
see some interesting
trends developing
throughout the data
centre industry. Paul
Speciale, Chief Product
Officer, Scality, predicts
the evolutions he expects
to take place in storage
at the Edge, multi-cloud,
Digital Transformation,
data breaches and
sustainability.
O
Object storage at the Edge will be
on flash
Object storage will move into the Edge,
for applications that capture large data
streams from a wide variety of mobile,
IoT and other connected devices. This will
include event streams and logs, sensor
and device data, vehicle drive data, image
and video media data and more, with
high data rates and high concurrency
from thousands or more simultaneous
data streams.
These applications will be developed
for cloud-native deployment and will
therefore naturally embrace RESTful object
style storage protocols – making object
storage on flash media an optimal choice
on the Edge to support this emerging class
of data-centric applications.
