New Storage Solutions: Hyperconverged and Hyperscale | @CloudExpo #Cloud

Mobile devices. Cloud-based services. The Internet of Things. What do all of these trends have in common? They are some of the factors driving the unprecedented growth of data today. And where data grows, so does the need for data storage. The traditional method of buying more hardware is cost-prohibitive at the scale needed. As a result, a new storage paradigm is required. Enterprises today need flexible, scalable storage approaches if they hope to keep up with rising data demands. Software-defined storage (SDS) offers the needed flexibility. In light of the varied storage and compute needs of organizations, two SDS options have arisen: hyperconverged and hyperscale. Each approach has its distinctive features and benefits, which are explored below.
