Soundbytes #007: Launch of StorageOS Beta – A Discussion with Chris Brandon at DockerCon 2017

Chris EvansSoundbytes

This conversation was recorded between Chris E and Chris Brandon, CEO of StorageOS, a London-based storage startup.  StorageOS has just released their storage platform as a public beta.  Based on containers and delivering storage for containers, StorageOS creates a distributed scale-out storage platform based on deployment on bare metal, virtual or cloud instances.

The category of SDS solutions based on containers continues to evolve.  Companies like StorageOS are demonstrating that persistent storage is required by IT organisations, however traditional appliances don’t have to be the route forward.
