Tom Lyon, Chief Scientist at DriveScale, give the Tech Field Day delegates a detailed look at their storage architecture. He runs through the problem with traditional scale-out systems, that most a essentially servers with storage. Tom compares this to a minivan, useful but not ideal for any one use case. The DriveScale adapter is their vision for a new architecture, to allow you to use a JBOD utilized over an ethernet switch to separate storage from compute.
