The discussion pivots to IBM's flash system, which, through technological innovation like the FlashCore module, offers a more energy-efficient solution requiring at least 29% less energy than competitors. Emphasizing cyber resilience, the system's features, such as safeguarded copy functions and air-gapped snapshots, provide robust security against breaches. This modern storage technology is not only crucial for handling the data demands of a growing population but also supports sustainable practices in an increasingly data-centric world.
"Storing and protecting food supplies like grains have been critical to civilizations for centuries, just as today, storing and protecting data is critical to modern civilization."
"The Neolithic Revolution gave birth to agriculture, creating the conditions for future civilizations to thrive."
"Sustaining growth required defense against thieves, pests, and contamination; then a new technology, the rounded grain silo, changed everything."
"Since 2018, global data production has nearly quadrupled from 33 to 120 zettabytes of information."
"IBM's storage flash system silos are simple, but data storage is complex."
"By using the flash core module as a computational storage device, offloading things like data reduction, we're able to consume less energy."
"Producing data creates a need for security and cyber resilience, while farmers were concerned with dangers like pests and theft; security breaches are concerns in the modern data-centric world."
"What we focus on is cyber resilience, the importance of recovering the data when a breach has happened."
"Inside a flash system, we take a snapshot and we make it logically air-gapped; nobody can access it, and in fact, we can have it so that nobody can delete it."
"IBM flash system devices using flash core modules across different configurations require at least 29% less energy than a market-leading competitor."
"That efficiency also means that it will draw less energy, not having to scrap that controller, not having to scrap those flash core modules."
"Using the flash core module as a computational storage device, offloading things like data reduction, we're able to consume less energy."
