At our recent SNIA SCSI Trade Association Forum webinar, “Storage Trends 2024” our industry experts discussed new storage trends developing in the coming year, the applications and other factors driving these trends, and shared market data that illustrated the assertions. If you missed the live event, you can watch it on-demand in the SNIA Educational Library. Questions from the audience ranged from projections about the split between on-prem vs public cloud to queries about different technologies and terms such as NVMe, LTO tape, EDSFF and Cyber Storage. Here are answers to the audience’s questions.

Is the Sun Setting on Some of Your Technologies?
So much of what we discuss within SNIA is the latest
emerging technologies in storage. While it’s good to know about what technology
is coming, it’s also important to understand the technologies that should be
sunsetted.
It’s the topic of our next SNIA Networking Storage Forum
(NSF) webcast on February 3, 2021, “Storage
Technologies & Practices Ripe for Refresh.” In this webcast, you’ll learn about
storage technologies and practices in your data center that are ready for
refresh or possibly retirement. Find out why some long-standing technologies
and practices should be re-evaluated. We’ll discuss: Read More
Understanding Composable Infrastructure
Cloud data centers are by definition very dynamic. The need for infrastructure availability in the right place at the right time for the right use case is not as predictable, nor as static, as it has been in traditional data centers. These cloud data centers need to rapidly construct virtual pools of compute, network and storage based on the needs of particular customers or applications, then have those resources dynamically and automatically flex as needs change.
To accomplish this, many in the industry espouse composable infrastructure capabilities, which rely on heterogeneous resources with specific capabilities that can be discovered, managed, and automatically provisioned and re-provisioned through data center orchestration tools. The primary benefit of composable infrastructure results in a smaller grained sets of resources that are independently scalable and can be brought together as required. On February 13, 2019, The SNIA Cloud Storage Technologies Initiative is going to examine what’s happening with composable infrastructure in our live webcast, Why Composable Infrastructure? In this webcast, SNIA experts will discuss: Read More
