October 25, 2008 - CUPERTINO, CA – This live presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 12 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. CT / 9:00 a.m. PT.
Ms. Greyzdorf will share IDC’s latest insights on the emergence of cloud storage and how it can complement today’s tier 1 storage solutions by addressing the explosion in unstructured data including digital content and archival data. During this one-hour webinar, attendees will learn:
What is cloud storage?
For what kind of data and workload is cloud storage most suited?
Where is cloud storage a poor fit?
What factors should you consider before implementing cloud storage?
How do private clouds or corporate clouds compare with large commercial public cloud service offerings?
Ms. Greyzdorf will lead off this highly educational session by sharing her market insights and usage trends. This will be followed by an overview from ParaScale’s CEO, Sajai Krishnan, about the various types of clustered NAS systems and how cloud storage as an architecture is different. The session is relevant to enterprise IT managers interested in building their own private cloud behind their corporate firewall, as well as to service providers looking to deliver different kinds of cloud storage services based on application-tuned public clouds.
“Fundamentally cloud storage is about delivering storage as a service, which means easily scaling capacity and performance accessible over standard networks (public Internet or private Intranet). Whether cloud storage is delivered internally or externally, the provider achieves scalability by adding standard hardware,” explained Ms. Greyzdorf. “Interest in cloud storage is intensifying as a result of tighter budgets and a desire to increase resource utilization. The continued explosion in creation and retention of unstructured data, partially as a result of backup and restore, analytics, test and development, disaster recovery, and archiving multiple copies of the data, are driving the innovation in storage systems and services (cloud storage, clustered storage) over the next five years.”
