Considerations for Disk… Random access, fast access, reliability and
relative ease Have been enjoying volume & margin
Margin under pressure from flash Volume under pressure from tape side…why?

Cloud
Idea not new - remember storage service providers Perceived as Simple, Easy
no equipment, procurement, management, etc. Especially when budgets are tight
Public, Private, Private shared (hybrid)…. Investigate…..
- Cost details?- Bulk recall?- Control, and search?- Access time vs cost- Performance vs cost- Vendor lock, Switching cost- Asset Location?- Network cost
