[Download Now >]( [Making the Most of Available Storage]( No matter how scaled-out, hyperconverged or abstracted data center infrastructure becomes, one element remains the same: Servers need high-speed access to vast amounts of storage. This produces a paradox, however, because as more storage comes online, it takes longer to find and retrieve data locked somewhere within its volumes. [Will Only the Strong Survive in the Cloud?]( In the cloud, bigger is better. Hyperscale providers are gathering market share because their size allows them to provide lower service costs, which generates increased revenue so they can grow even bigger. But while this benefits the enterprise in costs and scale, are there any advantages to utilizing a smaller provider, and if not, will the inevitable market consolidation to only a few mega-providers prove to be a boon or a bane to the world economy? [Confronting the Hyperscale Storage Challenge]( Enterprises looking to scale out their own data infrastructure quickly run into a problem: While more computing and networking capacity can be squeezed out of existing hardware, storage cannot. [Look Before You Leap into Serverless Computing]( By now, most organizations should be familiar with the concept of serverless computing. Workloads are, in fact, hosted on a server, it's just that the cloud provider takes full responsibility for provisioning and managing those resources so the enterprise can concentrate on service- and application-level performance.
