Storage Trends Discussion

Storage Trends for 2014 Hybrid Clouds Become the Dominant Vision for IT CIOs will sort their portfolio into: Applications that require complete IT control (using on-premises private clouds) Applications that can be shared with a third party Applications with highly variable workloads Applications that can be addressed with Software-as-a-Service offerings

Storage Trends for 2014 Questions Persist on Data Sovereignty Widespread adoption of cloud computing continues to challenge traditional geopolitical barriers. For large enterprises operating in many countries, this leads to concerns about the various government disclosure laws to which their data is subject. Organizations outside of the U.S. seek hybrid cloud options that allow them to maintain sovereign control of their data while still taking advantage of cloud computing economics

Storage Trends for 2014 SSDs progressively killing HDDs Now in all portable phones, smartphones, e-books, tablets, netbooks, etc., all the devices smaller than notebooks. For these latter, expect no more HDDs in the next five years. Then they will be integrated in standard configuration of PCs There is no disk drive smaller than 2.5-inch. Some companies are offering - expansive - flash units at 2TB, the capacity limit of today's disk drives in this volume. SSDs have entered into data centers together with SAS HDDs and will change the way big computers will be used

Vicon Industries A&E Summit Industry Trends Connectivity FC is progressively losing market share against cheaper Ethernet 16Gb FC is promising, But… There are no more HDDs with FC interface. 12Gb SAS is supposed to come later this year. March 9-11, 2014 Vicon Industries A&E Summit
