Storage is being brought to the forefront of the digital revolution at a fast pace, and data is streaming in at increasing rates. Companies are examining what to do with their vast amounts of data, and )IBM has a solution. Mike Kuhn, VP of #IBMEnterpriseStorage, talked with Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and Stu Miniman (@stu), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during IBM Edge 2016 about IBM’s approach to storage. Storage everywhere Many companies are looking for new and innovative ways to change their storage infrastructure. With effectiveness in mind, it’s quickly become the year of flash, according to Kuhn. Technology is changing, and this has been a year to “optimize things,” said Kuhn. Flash is changing how enterprises approach data storage and management. All the pros IBM has seen a number of benefits from focusing on a flash-based storage infrastructure — one of those benefits being the cost reduction for storage space. Flash storage can be purchased for as low as “one dollar per 500 gigabytes,” said Kuhn. IBM has also invested in a system that is built for “high performance, high endurance and runs fast,” said Kuhn. It’s possible for companies to service more copies with flash, as well as focus on data reduction, he added. More efficient data reduction means a company can focus less on catching redundancies and more on what’s important.
