local storage or in the cloud. - Hybrid cloud storage has not really been delivered: o The hyperscalers have next to zero on-premises deployments due to channel conflicts with traditional storage resellers and the general lack of storage talent within the hyperscalers to build an on-premises solution. o The hybrid cloud solutions that do exist are vendor specific and lock users into their ecosystem. o What’s needed is a vendor agnostic solution that supports cloud-to-cloud, cloud to on-premises, and on-premises to on-premises globally. Observations
very good to get something up and running quickly with no on- premises OPX (great for startups). o Phase II – an Enterprise goes all-in with the cloud and once at scale starts to see OPX exceed on-premises expenses. Performance and scale benefits start to decline. o Phase III – unless you are a very large enterprise customer (Netflix, Apple, etc.) who gets special pricing, customer need to move to a hybrid solution with global scale. Most customers’ cloud journey has phases
do a lot of manual data movement. Especially if they have a global presence and/or sharing data geographically. o AI LLMs and ML are inhibited and have added complexity because model data is not under one globally accessible data platform. o A global data environment is needed that puts data under one easily accessible namespace.
cloud. o Data orchestration, one name space and policy driven physical data movement detached from logical data presence. o The performance of a parallel file system delivered with the simplicity and features of an Enterprise NAS. o One name space that dramatically reduces the complexity of AI LLMs and ML while providing unparalleled performance at scale.
