Scaling Storage At The Client

November 25, 2013 By Stephen 2 Comments

All three of the array-scaling approaches I discussed last week preserve traditional client protocols for connectivity, an admirable goal to be sure.

TechTarget's Storage magazine today announced the winners of their annual Products of the Year awards, and it's an impressive array of technologies. Although I did not contribute to the voting this year, I heartily endorse the outcomes!
