#82 – Storage Predictions for 2019

11 January 2019 by Chris Evans

The idea of this episode was to put some structure around a set of enterprise storage predictions for 2019.  As you will hear from the dialog, that’s not quite what we achieved!  However, Chris Evans, Chris Mellor and Martin Glassborow do raise some interesting points on the direction of the industry in 2019.  The conversation starts with a look at media.  QLC flash is likely to be a hot topic, but what about storage class memory?  Have hard drives had their day or is the technology moving into a state of equilibrium?

The conversation moves onto standards and protocols – NVMe in particular.  There’s a real challenge around using Fibre Channel or Ethernet for block storage (Ethernet has already won in the file and object space).  But how exactly will NVMe adoption proceed, especially for public cloud?

Probably the biggest talking point is data management.  Technology improves consistently, however, the challenge of managing data still persists.  What can we expect in 2019, do we need an Open Data Management model?

The wrap up looks at a few vendors and who will be big and who is in trouble.  Possibly the biggest challenge is over-supply in the SAN and filer market, according to Chris M.  We will see!
