The answer is obvious – who would want the operational complexity ? So we must consider that as technology and economics move on , there will be architectural implications .
Enter UFFO storage
These operational challenges have led to the emergence of the UFFO storage platform . Built to combine the capabilities of fast file and object stores under one roof , enterprises can now directly address their modern data requirements and power modern applications that will enable them to innovate fast and move forwards in an otherwise turbulent business environment .
But what trends have driven the need for UFFO ? Let ’ s look into the five drivers a little closer .
• The growth of machine-generated data : As enterprises increasingly use data-intensive applications , they require storage platforms that can read , store and action large sets of data and provide the real-time strategic insights without the fear of high latency or downtime .
• The rise and popularity of fastobject : For real-time analytics , Machine Learning or AI applications to deliver a return on investment , their performance needs to be consistently high . Fast-object storage has rapidly grown in demand for its ability to cost- effectively serve both ML and software development workflows .
THE ABILITY TO CONSOLIDATE DIVERSE WORKLOADS ONTO A SINGLE STORAGE PLATFORM PROVIDES INVESTMENT PROTECTION BY ADDRESSING CURRENT AND FUTURE CHALLENGES .
