Storage Industry Current and Future Trends Challenges of Deploying Storage Infrastructure at Scale

In this talk we explore the different trends in modern storage architecture and challenges of deploying storage solutions at scale. The talk covers current and future storage media technologies as well as a view into the storage infrastructure for hyper-scale companies.

The paradigm of storage has and will continue to shift in even more dramatic ways in the next few years as NAND advances and storage class memory comes onto the scene.

Now is the time for infrastructure providers, suppliers and developers to plan for the all-digital data center by incorporating solid state storage technology in even the most historically challenging areas.

We will address storage technology on the basis of Total Cost of Ownership ("TCO") inflection points, the legacy challenges around using flash as flash, and how these technology trends will be critical to scaling out data centers now and in the future.
