#37 – State of the Storage Union with Chris Mellor

This week Chris and Gavin catch up with Chris Mellor, Storage Editor for The Register.  With so much happening in storage, it’s difficult to know where to start, so the guys focus on the rumour of Dell EMC reversing into VMware.  Could this really happen and why is Dell EMC even thinking about this?  The conversation flows on to IBM and their super-mega-hyper-uber announcement on NVMe.  Is IBM getting its storage mojo back?  Finally, the discussion turns to IoT and how storage and compute move to “The Edge” – no, not Dave Evans, but IoT.  What can we expect from new companies like ScaleFlux and NGDS?  The wrap up puts Chris on the spot for his predictions and gives us a nice follow-up in 6 months time.

Elapsed Time: 00:27:02
