About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of storage in data centers and the challenges associated with it.
When people picture a data center, they tend to picture compute servers, GPUs, watts and raw horsepower. But there is another side of the equation that decides whether that expensive compute power actually does anything useful: Storage. In this episode, we'll tackle what storage is, what decisions make the biggest impact, key challenges and how to handle the current storage shortage. #AI #datacenters #storage #VASTData #HitachiVantara #EverPure See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
