Infoworld’s Digital Spotlight on Enterprise Storage is here

Dear InfoWorld reader,

Who could have guessed that the bedrock of the data center, enterprise storage, would become a hotbed of innovation? InfoWorld's Digital Spotlight, "The New Enterprise Storage," dissects the latest trends that are turning storage into one of the most exciting areas in enterprise tech.

We begin by exploring converged storage, where servers again become storage repositories as well as compute engines, reflecting accelerating demand for high performance and distributed applications. Convergence goes hand in glove with software-defined storage, which promises truly centralized storage management, long promised and now almost within reach.

The rise of flash storage also gets full examination -- beyond the obvious trend toward faster and cheaper flash devices, to include new schemes for pooling flash across servers to create larges caches that reduce storage latency overall. We then turn to cloud storage technologies: object storage, which was developed by cloud storage providers to manage huge storage infrastructure, and cloud backup services, which are becoming increasingly popular for storing critical data offsite.

"The new enterprise storage" offers strategic advice on all these topics that data center managers can put into practice. I hope you find it useful as you incorporate the latest technologies in your own enterprise storage strategy.

All the best,

Eric Knorr
