In addition, reliable storage in the cloud is more expensive than local direct attached storage (DAS) or network attached storage (NAS) even when the costs of operation are considered.
Whether it is faster direct attached storage products, personal or home cloud storage devices or improved enterprise and archive storage consumer applications storage capacity, architectures and transport speeds will continue to grow and develop.
As a result of this flexibility and additional capabilities direct attached storage (DAS) used to build big enterprise storage systems that serve applications from big science to cloud computing will be able to offer faster performance and data protection and allowing faster data processing and content generation.
These devices provide direct attached storage that can be used to save user content, such as in a backup, to move content from place to place faster than a network allows or even for expanding the useful storage capacity for some common household devices such as some set top boxes or DVRs.
Our ability to take photos and erase them, to change ringtones, or to acquire digital music is the direct result of the use of flash storage over the past quarter-century.
Schiltz says Symform has received numerous unsolicited calls from application developers who want to buy storage in bulk, which would put the company in direct competition with Amazon S3.
