9 enterprise storage start-ups to watch
Young storage companies are innovating products that range from storage arrays to mainframe storage management to cloud storage and more. Credit: Dreamstime
As the enterprise edge expands to include semi-permanent remote workforces, Internet of Things (IoT), and a range of applications like artificial intelligence (AI) and M2M, they generate torrents of non-stop data that must be stored indefinitely and be available in near-real-time to users and applications.
Legacy storage architectures are failing to keep up with both data growth and user/application demand. While storage innovation is pushing more workloads into the cloud, many start-ups have found that the average enterprise is not yet ready for cloud-only storage.

Legacy storage architectures are failing to keep up with both data growth and user/application demand. While storage innovation is pushing more workloads into the cloud, many startups have found that the average enterprise is not yet ready for cloud-only storage. Legacy architectures and applications are experiencing extended shelf-lives due to tight IT budgets, and many enterprises still prefer to keep certain workloads on-premises.

SAN JOSE, Calf., March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/
Fungible Inc., a pioneer in data-centric computing, today announced the company is collaborating with the Efficient Mission Centric Computing Consortium (EMC3) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to help solve some of the world s most complex physical simulation problems.
The Fungible and LANL collaboration will initially be exploring the scalability of computational NVMe over fabrics and will be demonstrating offload of analytics functions on data produced by extreme scale physical simulation.

The next 10 years of cloud will differ dramatically from the past decade, in ways we couldn’t have imagined just a few years ago.
The early days of cloud deployed virtualization of standard off-the-shelf components to scale out and build a large distributed system. The coming decade will see a much more data-centric, real-time, intelligent, hyper-decentralized cloud that will comprise on-premises, hybrid, cross-cloud and edge workloads. And it will have a services layer that abstracts away the complexity of the underlying infrastructure.
Those are key takeaways of the guests from theCUBE on Cloud (login required), a virtual event hosted Jan. 21 by SiliconANGLE and theCUBE that brought together chief executives, chief information officers, data practitioners, technologists, cloud experts, analysts and opinion leaders to unpack the future of cloud computing in the coming decade.

As the year kicks off in the midst of an ongoing pandemic, the technology world faces an inescapable truth: The cloud is a journey, not a destination.
This journey will be explored in depth Thursday, Jan. 21, when SiliconANGLE Media’s video studio theCUBE will launch theCUBE on Cloud, SiliconANGLE’s first virtual editorial event of 2021. The program will include interviews with several prominent guests, bringing together CxOs, practitioners, technologists and analysts to understand the future of cloud, tapping the expertise, knowledge and independent voices from theCUBE community.
During this special event we hear from top executives from the major cloud platform providers, including Amit Zavery, vice president, general manager and head of platform at Google Cloud; Hillery Hunter, vice president and chief technology officer of IBM Cloud; John “JG” Chirapurath, vice president of Azure data, artificial intelligence and edge at Microsoft; and Daniel Dines, founder and c
