Understanding the Demand for Scale Out

Data sprawl is a big problem for many organizations. Companies of any size are always trying to balance the need for increasing data storage while managing infrastructure costs. Newer technologies such as IoT, AI, video streaming, and virtual reality are driving a massive build-up of data coming soon.

Why Scale-out Storage Is Better than Traditional Storage

Having enough storage capacity is critical for storage devices. If you run out of capacity, the solution may be as simple as adding a new shelf of drives or as complex as adding a whole new data center. While simpler solutions are preferred, the difference between simple or complex solutions can be whether your system is designed to scale-up or scale-out.
