Historically, object storage was secondary storage. That is not the case anymore - object storage is not only primary storage, it is often the only storage. The reasons are straightforward - modern object storage is performant, cloud-native, secure, resilient and immensely scalable, the same attributes as the public cloud.

 

AWS EMR, Redshift, Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery all run on object storage and have since Day 1. This talk will discuss the workloads that are migrating from SAN/NAS including AI/ML, Databases, Video Streaming and traditional backup + restore and how to optimize your architecture in the era of object storage.
