Handling data at the network edge is not a new idea, but it is becoming more important as organisations grapple with growing data volumes and the need to process information quickly.
Computational storage is, however, a relatively new way to tackle that challenge.
A key driver here is that conventional IT systems, with separate compute, networking and storage components, come with inherent bottlenecks.
