Why high-performance object storage is needed for modern data-intensive workloads
Object storage used to trade performance for cost and scalability. With features like high performance, data intelligence, and simple management, HPE is updating the technology for modern use cases.
When object storage first launched in the late 1990s, it enabled companies to tackle a perennial problem: how to store large amounts of data at low cost. That requirement hasn't gone away, with research company IDC predicting that the volume of enterprise data stored globally will expand at a CAGR of 28.2 percent from 2022-27. But now there's an additional need to process information faster to meet the demands of more modern applications and workloads.
