Abstract:
The world has seen the rise of public cloud. We are watching the benefits of hyperscale now move to the edge, and it is obvious that edge cloud is emerging for many new applications and use cases. Seagate is involved in the optimization of storage in each of these architectures and strives to provide storage consultation to help solve pain points in each use case.

Innovation to enable storage density, which in turn enables data growth, is at the core of our HDD and SSD portfolio and is the number one metric to allow users to store as much as they possibly can. Innovation in storage density allows new applications and software to be developed which improve the efficiency, analysis, and intelligence to create value on the stored data.

Secondarily, as the size of data increases we need to ensure that data is available at the right location, at the right tier, and at the right performance requirement for the application. This metric of data gravity requires knowledge of data flow, data usage and access, and most importantly service level requirements to ensure a software defined world can meet their customers’ expectations.

Finally, as data moves closer to the user to improve performance and experience, data governance becomes even more critical to protect personal information and mission critical data with trusted policies.

The storage ecosystem is vast and quickly becoming more and more critical to the world we live in and we at Seagate are excited to enable research projects to tackle each of the three pillars that we will discuss in this talk.
