It is no secret that one of the main challenges for applications in the cloud is storage performance. The storage performance problem in the cloud has multiple facets. It is not just low vs. high performance, but also the fact that performance varies over time and one customer can impact the performance of others. There is also the issue of storage performance monitoring. How does one know if an application is running slow because of storage performance or because of other factors like networking, IO concurrency, latencies, etc.?
In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Nelson Nahum, CEO & CTO of Zadara Storage, will discuss how a new cloud storage architecture is needed – one that is not based on “scale out,” but it is more similar to the compute cloud.
