#136 – The End of the Year Show 2019

30 December 2019 by Chris Evans

In this final, final show for 2019, Martin and Chris review both the year and decade just passed. How did predictions work for 2019? What technology has come and gone over the decade and what can we expect in the next 10 years?

Downloads have increased exponentially again over the year. Thank you to everyone who continues to download and listen to us. The most popular posts continue to be those focused on vendors and products. Top of the list is #102 – May Midrange Madness, with the VAST Data dilogy (#105 & #106) close behind.

Our rather generic predictions of 2019 proved to be mostly accurate. QLC NAND and flash in general is taking over. This a theme of 2019 (for QLC) and for flash over the decade. Looking back to 2009/2010, vendors like Xsigo, Nirvanix and Ocarina were presenting at Tech Field Days. 1TB drives were state of the art – a volume of data that can now be purchased on a single microSD card from Micron.

What can we expect in the next decade? Probably more of the same challenges around data management and compliance, with increasing focus on features delivered through software. It’s going to be another interesting decade!
