Having the right storage system is critical for organizations which are seeing the volume of data they retain and use to drive their business continue to grow at an astonishing rate.

This white paper documents the impetus behind that data growth and discusses the extent to which different applications and workloads are better suited to different storage systems and architectures. It goes on to analyze the emergence and adoption of software-defined storage solutions which can be deployed on commodity hardware from multiple vendors, and looks at how the Qumolo file system, designed in partnership with AMD and Supermicro, was built to excel at serving up both small and large files, and to handle the billions of objects which many organizations now find themselves having to accommodate.
