Who said storage is boring? I’m not lying when I’m writing that I’m on my way to a place in the desert, far away from regular society, for a secret meeting with the Top Guns of the Cloud & Web Industry. I’m one of a select group of Object Storage visionaries who have been invited to meet the industry’s greatest, listen to their challenges and teach them how object storage – when done well – can solve all of their problems.
There is no arguing that object storage is currently the most watched storage paradigm. Object storage is potentially an even more important evolution than virtualization and cloud computing were 5 years ago: it’s about data, information, companies’ most valuable assets. The challenge of building Exabyte-size storage clouds is no longer just a concern for Facebook, Google and Amazon.
