Overview
The explosion of digital data from individuals and organizations is one of the most significant trends of this decade. In parallel with the fast growth in the volume of data, our society has also become critically dependent on its availability. People expect to have continuous and fast access to their data from any location, from any device, and at any time.
Cloud computing and storage technologies are helping satisfy this demand for storage capacity, availability, performance, and services. While advanced virtualization technologies are turning cloud computing into a reality, cloud storage still lags behind and adequate data mobility and virtualization is not yet achievable.
A new cloud storage architecture and infrastructure can help bridge the gap between computing and storage virtualization. The new model should allow the mobility of data across the cloud to meet requirements for scalability, availability, and cost efficiency. Furthermore, to satisfy the needs of enterprise-grade business applications, it should also be able to ensure security, accountability, and guaranteed quality of service.
