The promise of cloud storage is that it delivers users seamless “just in time” storage scalability to handle growth and enables them to quickly respond to peak loads delivering business agility. With data growth consistently in the 50% per year range enterprises are seriously evaluating the use of cloud storage and are taking the cloud storage step with increasing frequency. The business impact of cloud storage is a compelling financial p...
BIG DATA has come on very strong over the last several months. It's the new buzzword, the new topic du jour. Or, is it just a new name for Data Warehouse or Data Mart (oops! I said a 90's phrase..or two)? Last week, (2/16) Steve Duplessie wrote a blog on 'Why is Everyone so fired up About Big Data?' In his unique style Steve raised some great points and for the most part is correct in his assessment of 'WHY'. Simply put, he says that the big ...
In my last 3 posts I have addressed data growth, IT budgets and Storage Costs and Data Affordability. Data Optimization is emerging as the enabler to drive economic recovery through its ability to significantly improve storage and data efficiency and deliver IT budget relief. Today's Data Optimization is delivering performance and scalability that was not available in earlier generation data deduplication solutions. The result of this efficiency...
In my last two blogs I reviewed data growth, IT budgets and storage efficiency. These are all inter-twined as we look toward economic and business recovery. The key in all this is "can we afford the data growth?" and if not, what can be done to lessen the impact as businesses drive toward recovery and financial health.
Let's look at some of the facts that have been discussed:
Data will continue to grow at a rate of 50% or more in 2011 and w...
At Permabit, we've invested significant time examining different data types and how they benefit from data optimization. Within an individual file, potential space savings benefits from compression or deduplication are constrained by the choice of optimization techniques, the file format and the file content. Typical space savings from optimizations for a given file type are predictable and well understood. For example, using the popular LZ compr...
In my previous blog, I identified three potential inhibitors to the adoption of deduplication on primary storage: performance, cost and scalability. Sure enough, the early adopters I've spoken with have all run into these issues. They are all looking forward to having Albireo-enabled solutions hit the market. Last week I discussed how storage systems that implement Permabit's Albireo can avoid traditional performance penalties, but what about o...
