The Storage Field Day 25 delegates consider the future of enterprise and cloud storage in anticipation of the presentations at this event. The storage industry is broadening beyond the previous focus on storage arrays to embrace the cloud and advanced features on top of the storage array. There is some optimism that technology like NVMe, CXL, computational storage, and more may spur a new generation of storage arrays, but we could also see greater focus on application integration, databases, analytics, and data management.
The Storage Field Day 25 roundtable discussion highlighted the evolving landscape of enterprise storage, emphasizing the shift from traditional storage arrays to cloud-based solutions and advanced data management features. Delegates noted the impact of cloud adoption on enterprise storage vendors, who now face challenges in competing with the cloud’s ease of use and scalability. The conversation touched on the need for storage vendors to innovate and offer cloud-like consumption models, while also addressing the growing importance of data control, security, and cost management. The discussion also explored the potential for new startups to leverage emerging technologies like NVMe, CXL, and computational storage to create innovative solutions. Overall, the delegates agreed that the future of storage lies in its integration with data management and application services, reflecting a broader trend towards a more holistic approach to handling data across various environments, including on-premises, cloud, and edge.
