The world is progressing towards the cloud-based storage
system, and we visibly see a paradigm shift from traditional to cloud storage.
There are a number of cloud storage systems out there introduced by many
companies.
Google, in collaboration with Dell, has introduced a new
cloud-based storage system called Cloud OneFS with the sole goal of speeding up
the data transfers on public and private servers. This hybrid cloud storage system
is capable of transferring data up to the size of over 50 petabytes across
different cloud networks. The idea behind it was to speed up the businesses in
the organization by having them connected remotely.
Cloud OneFS is a powerful cloud storage system that improves
the performance of cloud-based storage networks by increasing scalability. This
is achieved by the collaboration of Dell Technologies scalable systems and
Google Cloud analytics.
The transfer of massive data and high-performance computing
can be done easily and quickly between the Dell EMC Isilon file systems and
Google Cloud without making any amends to their application.
Hybrid Cloud
workloads
Most of the company's data is stored in the on-premises data
storage system, and very little of their data is accounted to be stored in
public cloud networks. This is due to the performance and scaling limitations
of many cloud systems. Hence, resulting in tons and tons of data being stored
on-site. For example, for a TV or movie streaming service, the video files are
present in substantial file sizes at 4K resolutions requiring the availability
of storage in terabytes, making it challenging for the production companies to
transfer them over the cloud. Cloud OneFS removes this complexity by providing
extensive scalability options.
Dell Technologies is also revamping its cloud subscription
model in order to expand its roots of node configuration. This will allow many
companies to use hybrid cloud services at better prices.
