Data and Storage

Data and Storage are a key aspect in any infrastructure. While storage needs hardware, most solutions are now mostly ‘dumb’ hardware with intelligent software. In cloud and container environments, persistence of storage is separated from the application or container itself. Enterprises require data resilience, security, disaster recovery, strict performance SLAs and operations across clouds.

Container Platform

Containers are the new Virtual Machines

There are still people in organizations that need to understand what a container is. And what the main benefits of container technology are.
