Extending Storage to the Edge - How It Should Affect Your Storage Strategy
August 25, 2021
Erin Farr, IBM; Vincent Hsu, IBM; Jim Fister, The Decision Place

Data gravity has pulled computing to the Edge and enabled significant advances in hybrid cloud deployments. The ability to run analytics from the datacenter to the Edge, where the data is created and lives, also creates new use cases for nearly every industry and company. However, this movement of compute to the Edge is not the only pattern to have emerged. How might these other use cases impact your storage strategy?

This webcast will focus on the following topics:

  • Emerging patterns of data movement and the use cases that drive them
  • Cloud Bursting
  • Federated Learning across the Edge and Hybrid Cloud
  • Considerations for distributed cloud storage architectures to match these emerging patterns
