Storage Transforming to Reflect Compute Multi-tenant / CommoditizedVirtualized Automated shared Standardized Scale on Free Software In the Cloud Scale Out Demand / OpenSource Storage must support the public and private cloud environment • Storage is the Achilles heel of full data center virtualization • Storage performance, availability, capacity, & interface is the Achilles heel of public cloud • Big Data, data migration, multi-site consistency are the Achilles heel of hybrid cloud Storage will look like the computing environment • Storage should be a commoditized, virtualized, centrally managed pool • Monolithic proprietary systems now challenged by nimble and shared network storage • Storage becomes a software problem • The “Google model” of storage Petascale Cloud Filesystem 6
