Managing Disaster in The Public Cloud
Despite the best intentions of the public cloud infrastructure providers, issues do happen from time to time. Some problems are more significant than others, as we saw with the recent Amazon Web Services (AWS) DynamoDB outage (details here). The impact to AWS customers was widespread and although it would be easy to dismiss the affected services as trivial (Netflix, IMDB, Tinder, Buffer), these are still clients running production workloads. Do a quick Google search and it’s easy to find many other similar examples, including this one affecting Microsoft’s Azure Storage Service.

The True “Cost” of Enterprise Storage – Understanding Storage Management
It’s definitely a truism that the absolute cost of storage, measured per GB has continued to drop steadily over the last 15 years. In fact, when I was involved in purchasing storage hardware it was common to put in place a quarterly price reduction of around 5% on any long-term deals. Prices have dropped over time because the disk manufacturers have been able to continue to increase the capacity of data stored in a standard drive form-factor, delivering more capacity for the same physical amount of space, power and cooling.
