Editor's Notes
It’s because of the data problem.
And what is that?
Click: Well, it starts with exploding data growth. But this is nothing different than what everyone else is telling you.
Click: What they haven’t been telling you though is that the capacity problem because infinitely harder to solve for in light of the I/O gap. We all remember when the industry was shipping GB drives, right? Well, now we’re shipping 2-3-6TB drives! I know we don’t all have unlimited capital, but if we did, we could always just throw more hardware at it. The real issue is that in light of the 300% increase in HDD capacity, the performance has only grown about 10-15%. This is the real issue. We have an IOPS problem!
And it’s only getting harder to manage and more complex in the era of virtualization.
Click: So how do we define the data problem? There are 5 critical attributes: not just capacity – although that’s one; but also performance, protection, mobility and management in a virtualized environment.
