Cloud Storage: Unifying Public and Private with Ionir
The technology drivers for private clouds and public clouds overlap to a great extent – agility, standardization, elastic resource provisioning, and overall improvement in the effectiveness of the infrastructure resources to name a few. However, when it comes to data storage there is a great degree of divergence between private and public clouds. Storage is different from compute resources in that it involves longer term non-volatile preservation of state, as opposed to the temporal, provisioned state.
