More and more of our lives are lived online. Our music collections,
bookshelves, vacation memories and more are increasingly digitized and
uploaded into the cloud, the vast network of server farms that provide the
bulk of online storage today. Research firm Gartner projects that by 2016, 36

Service providers, watching these trends with a wary eye, will be required to
accommodate ever-increasing demands for storage as consumer appetites for
cloud content storage continues to grow. To adapt, many service providers are
exploring new options in data center architecture that will permit greater
flexibility and control over hardware costs.
One such option is software-defined storage. By taking features typically
found in hardware and moving them to the software layer, a software... (more)
Cloud computing has given birth to a broad range of online services. To
maintain a competitive edge, service providers are taking a closer look at
their Big Data storage infrastructure in an earnest attempt to improve
performance and reduce costs.
Large enterprises hosting their own cloud servers are seeking ways to scale
