#45 – Modern Software Defined Storage With Avinash Lakshman

6 April 2018 by Chris Evans

This week Chris is in the Bay area and was able to catch up for a chat with Hedvig CEO Avinash Lakshman.  Hedvig is a start-up developing a scale-out software-defined storage platform, which makes Avinash the perfect guest to explain just where SDS has reached.  Avinash also has serious SDS credentials, having co-developed Amazon Dynamo and developed Cassandra for Facebook.

The conversation starts with a review of where SDS has reached compared to just five years ago.  Chris and Avinash discuss whether the enterprise has really bought into SDS as a concept and whether public cloud is driving the use of SDS in a multi-cloud configuration.  Finally, the conversation finishes on how DevOps and the developer movement wants to consume storage resources.

Hedvig can be found at https://www.hedvig.io (new website) and on Twitter at https://twitter.com/hedviginc.
