IN THIS EXCERPT The content for this excerpt was taken directly from IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Object-Based Storage 2019 Vendor Assessment (Doc # US45354219). All or parts of the following sections are included in this excerpt: IDC Opinion, IDC MarketScape Vendor Inclusion Criteria, Essential Guidance, Vendor Summary Profile, Appendix and Learn More. Also included is Figure 1. IDC OPINION The storage market has come a long way in terms of understanding object-based storage (OBS) technology and actively adopting it. It is a common practice for OBS to be adopted for secondary and cold storage needs at scale. Over the recent years, OBS has proven its ability to scale to tens and hundreds of petabytes and is now maturing to support newer workloads such as unstructured data analytics, IoT, AI/ML/DL, and so forth. As the price of flash declines and the data sets continue to grow, the need for analyzing the data is on the rise. Moving data sets from an object store to a high- performance tier for analysis is a thing of the past. Many vendors are enhancing their object offerings to include a flash tier or are bringing all-flash array object storage offerings to the market today. In this IDC MarketScape, IDC assesses the present commercial OBS supplier (suppliers that deliver software-defined OBS solutions as software or appliances much like other storage platforms) landscape.

Summary There is growing interest in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in enterprise organizations. The market is quickly moving from infrastructures designed for research and development to turn-key solutions that respond quickly to new business requests. ML/AI are strategic technologies across all industries, improving business processes while enhancing the competitiveness of the entire organization. ML/AI software tools are improving and becoming more user-friendly, making it easier to to build new applications or reuse existing models for more use cases. As the ML/AI market matures, high- performance computing (HPC) vendors are now joined by traditional storage manufacturers, that are usually focused on enterprise workloads. Even though the requirements are similar to that of big data analytics workloads, the specific nature of ML/AI algorithms, and GPU-based computing, demand more attention to throughputs and $/GB, primarily because of the sheer amount of data involved in most of the projects. Depending on several factors, including the organization’s strategy, size, security needs, compliance, cost control, flexibility, etc, the infrastructure could be entirely on-premises, in the public cloud, or a combination of both (hybrid) – figure 1.

  • Next-Generation Object Storage and Serverless Computing Explained
    Next-Generation Object Storage and Serverless Computing Explained March 2018 1 OpenIO Next-generation Object Storage and Serverless Computing Explained Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Next-Generation Object Storage 4 Serverless Computing 5 Takeways 6 2 OpenIO “Next-generation Object Storage and Serverless Computing” explained Executive Summary The world is entering what can be called the data-centric era. The quantity of machine-generated data is already overwhelming, and this is just the beginning. With big data, industrial internet of things, and machine learning initiatives becoming increasingly common among organizations of all sizes, we will need to rethink from the ground up the way we store and compute data, while keeping costs as low as possible. Traditional infrastructures are not designed to cope with these new challenges and, at the same time, scalability, flexibility, and efficiency are the foundation of overall infrastructure sustainability, and are fundamental to supporting future storage and data processing needs. There are several types of storage systems, and each one is best for different workloads and applications. Object storage is ideal for large scale internet-based applications because data can be stored alongside metadata, and this data can be accessed from anywhere and on any device. It has always been very focused on low $/ GB and high scalability but some of its characteristics make it rigid and not very user friendly. OpenIO is changing this paradigm. Based on a modern and innovative lightweight design, it blends efficiency, flexibility, and ease of use with the benefts usually found on other platforms. OpenIO SDS is open source software that can be installed on ARM and x86 servers, making it possible to build a hyper scalable storage and compute platform without the risk of lock-ins and with a very good TCO for the highest and fastest ROI.
