Enterprises need hyperscale or webscale storage. They look at the likes of Google and Facebook and need to do what they’re doing; processing and storing huge amounts of data with transactions and analysis on the fly. But they lack storage products to do it, and existing enterprise storage isn’t up to the job. Those are the views of Infinidat, which came out of stealth this year and which believes enterprises are trying to solve the problems of the future datacentre with storage architectures from the past. Infinidat CTO Brian Carmody said: “What we’re seeing is a competitive advantage by a small number of technically advanced companies – Facebook, Google etc – who are trying to do what they do with incumbent technology. The experience of these apex big data companies demonstrate a failure by the storage industry.”
