Datrium Opens Up Convergence

In IT, it’s inevitable that components in our “base" layers eventually mature and can be converged into more cohesive building blocks over time. We’ve seen rack-scale IT convergence turn into IT appliance Hyperconvergence as key storage and networking functionality was finally implemented as fungible software running in commoditized or virtualized server hosting. Now Datrium sticks a knife into the monolithic Hyperconvergence appliance approach and shows how convergence can be “opened” up and applied across functionally distributed (i.e. cheaper and more efficient) infrastructure - better performance with cheaper server-side flash, lower cost with shared networked pools of capacity for data protection.
