Big data storage is a technology that applies to storage technologies that specifically address, in some fashion or another, the three Vs: volume, velocity, or variety. Yet big data doesn’t address the classification of relational database systems. In simpler terms, it’s a… [...]
Read MoreThere are three principal classes of storage on the market: file-based storage, block-based storage, and object-based storage. It’s almost hard to imagine there ever was a time when storing data was much simpler; a time when structured data belonged stored away in… [...]
Read MoreWith the parameters deep neural networks must process, metadata has become viewed as the curse of dimensionality: a phenomenon “that arises when analyzing and organizing data in high-dimensional spaces (often with hundreds or thousands of dimensions) that do not occur in low-dimensional settings… [...]
Read MoreHyper-converged storage or hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is a software-defined information technology (IT) that virtualizes all traditional components of “hardware-defined” systems via a hypervisor. Hyper-converged storage solutions include, at the very least, a virtual machine monitor (VMM), virtualized networking (software-defined networking), and a… [...]
Read MoreHigh throughput and next-generation sequencing (NGS) have significantly increased the quantity of raw and processed genome sequencing data researchers need to manage. To compound matters, sequencing data is routinely stored in redundant sets as researchers process and annotate data iteratively and seldom,… [...]
