New @georgeacrump Note: Can Data Diversity Be Solved By a Single Storage System? - Quobyte

The modern data center has to deal with different use cases ranging from applications running inside of virtual machines or containers to massive amounts of unstructured data created by both users and devices. This data diversity almost always forces the organization to use multiple storage solutions, one for each data type and IO requirement. The problem is the cost of acquiring and managing…

Latest @georgeacrump Blog: Storage Problems Limit Hyperconverged Scale

Hyperconvergence has a real problem. It can’t scale. While hyperconverged architectures may be a good match for medium sized business, as the environment scales it’s “all for one, one for all” simplicity becomes problematic. As is usually the case, storage is the culprit.

While there are variations on the theme, a typical HCI environment combines storage, networking and compute into a single…

Using A Raspberry Pi For Distributed Object Storage With Minio

So I was researching object storage and I came across the open source distributed object storage software, Minio.  This lightweight software was written with Golang and accomplishes similar things to that of Amazon S3.  After all they are both object storage solutions.  The difference here is that Minio can be deployed on your own hardware.

Being that Minio was written with Golang, it is cross…
