Computational storage is paramount for truly composable infrastructure. While there isn't yet broad adoption, computational storage is ready to move beyond test benches into widespread deployment. This presentation explore today’s cloud data center requirements using real-world use cases to show how to move compute to the data, instead of the data to the compute. Computational systems seek to address the limitations of hyper-converged infrastructure systems, in which users can only scale compute and storage by purchasing additional nodes. These newer technologies enable organizations to maximize the value of their compute and storage hardware spending.
