#119 – Storage Hardware is Back!

Chris EvansStorage Hardware, Storage Unpacked Podcast

This week, Chris and Martin catch up with some of the storage hardware on show at Flash Memory Summit 2019. FMS is essentially a trade show and so there are lots of technologies on display that haven’t quite made it to the enterprise. Technology vendors are selling to other vendors and this year there were some interesting hardware solutions to see. Flash has been on the agenda for the last decade and continues to push the boundaries of capacity and performance. Chris and Martin discuss 96+ layer products and the promise of 500 layers in …

#117 – Introduction to Computational Storage with NGD Systems

Chris EvansGuest Speakers, Storage Hardware, Storage Unpacked Podcast

This week’s episode is the final recording from Flash Memory Summit 2019. Chris is joined by the team from NGD Systems for a discussion on Computational Storage. On this podcast are Scott Shadley, VP of Marketing, Nader Salessi, CEO and Ashok Savdharia who has the lovely title of “technologist”. Computational storage uses the processing power of modern SSD controllers to run application workloads directly on the SSD itself. Imagine each drive being a mini blade server, with compute, memory and storage. In the case of NGD Systems, this means a range of devices and form …

#57 – Storage on the Edge with Scott Shadley

Chris EvansGuest Speakers

What is computational storage and how do we manage storage on the edge of the network?  This week’s conversation is a discussion on how storage and data is managed within IoT devices and partially covers the new segment of computational storage.  Martin and Chris talk to Scott Shadley, VP of Marketing for NGD Systems. Edge storage means more than simply managing the data on a Raspberry Pi or other small form-factor device.  During the podcast, Scott uses the example of aircraft analytics, which generate terabytes of content per flight.  How do these implementations work?  How …
