Storage in IT enterprise used to have certain rules that seemed tried and true. However, storage is facing major changes right now, bringing new players into the field. Dan Leary,VP of products, solutions and alliances at Nimble Storage, Inc., spoke with Stu Miniman, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld 2015.
“When we launched Nimble a little over five years ago … a lot of people said, ‘Is there room for storage startups in this day and age?'” Leary said.
Yet it seems that to many right now, the roadmap going forward is not clear given the changes in the industry. Enterprises are having to consider new entrants into the storage field. “It’s almost less risky than going with a proven course,” he said.
Leary doesn’t necessarily see flash replacing disk storage or being just one or the other. “I can see a world where we’re going to have multiple flavors of solid state in the data center,” said Leary. “Looking out five or six years, it may not be a world of flash and disk, it may be multiple blends of solid state media. It’s going to be an exciting time for sure.”
