| | AUGUST 20196CIOReviewWhen it comes to storage technology and the data it houses--it forms the critical foundation of all businesses and impacts diverse verticals across the board. Over the decades, data storage has encompassed a spectrum of technologies, from floppy disks and tapes to hard drives and flash storages. Nevertheless, the objective of keeping data available for the future remains constant. With an increasing number of businesses moving their applications and data to the cloud, it is time you dive too. Provided the advances in speed and capacity of data storage that has shaped today's sophisticated computing frameworks, the widespread adoption of hybrid cloud infrastructure is evident. Enterprises strive to leverage a variety of data storage technology trends to make flash storage drives budget-friendly and denser than ever before. While the cloud storage is predominantly used to store unstructured data such as photos, videos, and new-age cloud-native application data, a vast majority of core data storage devices are still localized with offline cloud backup.Although conventional on-premise storage is still king for workloads housing sensitive data, the futuristic hybrid cloud is here to support the new-age workloads when the demands of scalability, performance, and regulation kick in. While software-defined storage solutions have gone mainstream to transform the realm of data storage, the challenges in the way of achieving agility, cost optimization, and performance improvements still loom large. Enterprises need to invest in next-generation data storage infrastructures that are aimed at making significant cost optimizations, enhanced application performance, and reduced vendor lock-in. Moreover, companies face an uphill battle while implementing robust storage solutions and extract the benefits of high throughput and low latency of the new persistent memory media in a way similar to SSDs and flash-based NVMes. This has initiated the shift toward denser 3D NAND technology for scalable data storage.With the transition to 3D NAND technology gaining momentum, storage manufacturers have begun ramping up their products from a 32-layer 3D flash to 64 and 96-layer flash storages while retaining the standard SSD physical footprint. Companies must seize the opportunity and convert these trends into a dynamic storage solution. To stay ahead of the curve, we suggest our readers leaf through this edition and grasp the impact of the trends that are renovating the storage space.EditorialRe-Engineering Data StorageCopyright © 2019 ValleyMedia, Inc.
