Scalability is the essence of flexibility and long-term value. If your storage solution can’t grow with your business, then you’ll soon be laying out more investment money to accommodate more users, more demanding workflows, and changing business conditions. Understand how your data storage solution scales.
Data that becomes corrupted through any number of environmental or operational problems can wreak havoc on your workflows and workloads. Your storage solution must always ensure that data read is exactly what was initially written. Here are some factors to consider when exploring data integrity.
NAS storage technologies have matured from the early single-appliance products they were to fully modular, software-defined enterprise solutions capable of driving an entire organization’s shared data storage needs. Look at these characteristics closely when you’re comparing SAN and NAS solutions.
While data storage technologies and architectures showcase many complexities, their core operations boil down to a number of shared common features.
The rapid growth of data generation by enterprises is leading to an increased need for file and object-based storage to manage those huge volumes of data, including videos, photos, and other media. NAS solutions are ideally suited to handle enterprise data storage needs not only for on-premises deployments but also for cloud and hybrid-cloud support.

In the past, storage was a backend function, but now data storage is at the forefront in the IT ecosystem and affects all aspects of enterprise workflows and workloads. This requires a deep bench of workflow experts, an ethos of openness, and unmatched performance—defining characteristics of OpenDrives.
A vendor’s consultative customer-focused approach is as important as product excellence. Here’s what you should consider when selecting your next data storage solution.
Proprietary technologies sound great, but they actually force customers into what we call a “walled garden” that becomes increasingly difficult to escape, at least not without a lot of effort and expense. Consider these obstacles presented by the walled garden approach.
The modern enterprise has massive amounts of data, innumerable workloads, and very dynamic operational conditions. To keep up, data storage has to provide some very specific benefits.
Network attached storage in the M&E industry is projected to experience a substantial growth rate through 2025, fueling increased adoption in post-production, broadcast, and other digital content workflows. Here’s what you need to know.
In 2023, numerous trends will mature, with next-generation storage solutions more fully leveraging cloud, containers, orchestration, and data security capabilities.
