Fast Garbage Dumps
The model is definitely swinging back to local storage. SSD and RDMA will revolutionize the storage/compute landscape but the vast quantities of low value data we produce will continue to require traditional arrays/backup for the next 5-10 years. Storage is the modern equivalent of a garbage dump that the world has yet to come to grips with. There is so much low value data that is used for a week/month and never used again. No-one wants to throw anything away and we need to mainstream processes to auto prioritize, tag and auto tier data. Data growth is 30% compounded yearly and the storage manufactures THINK they can keep up.
