KUALA LUMPUR: Cloud storage and the scaling up of storage for increased datacentre virtualisation should be among the top priorities for company investments this year, said Johnson Khoo, managing director of Hitachi Data Systems Sdn Bhd.
When more workloads are virtualised into multicore processors, he said, the strain on the underlying storage infrastructure increases from both a capacity and a performance standpoint.
“Companies should be investing in a storage infrastructure that can scale up and out, depending on performance and capacity requirements,” he said.
Hitachi’s research shows that storing data in the cloud is on the rise as more companies embrace the “pay as you grow” concept during difficult economic times.
“Instead of investing in more infrastructure, the benefits of cloud computing and cloud storage are becoming more evident with the turn of each year,” Khoo said.
