theCUBE Host Dave Vellante (@dvellante) kicks off our coverage of AWS Storage Day 2019. #theCUBE #AWSStorageDay https://siliconangle.com/2019/11/25/amazon-opens-a-new-chapter-in-storage-by-integrating-from-the-top-down-awsstorageday/ Amazon’s new storage chapter eyes NFS support, integrates from the top-down When Amazon Web Services Inc. pioneered infrastructure as a service in 2006, few people foresaw the global impact it would have. Yet as IaaS was joined by platform as a service and software as a service, it heralded the start of the modern cloud-computing era. Thirteen years later, cloud computing is changing more than just the information-technology landscape. In a flywheel effect, cloud has created a momentum that is reaching out to change how the world interacts. Businesses are being forced to abandon traditional siloed workplace structures, where each department acts independently, in favor of flexible and cooperative workflows. Even customer demands are changing, as Generation-C consumers expect everything tailored to their needs and delivered instantly. “If you can change the operating model, you can get more out of your IT infrastructure and your infrastructure as a service than just lower cost or even better agility,” said Dave Vellante, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio. “You can actually transform your business, create new types of business models.” Speaking during theCUBE’s kickoff of coverage at the AWS Storage Day Boston event in Boston, Massachusetts, Vellante emphasized the strategic importance of storage as the basis beneath all the glitz and glamour of new advances in technology. (*Disclosure below) “You’ve got to have sets of storage services that can support these new emerging workloads,” Vellante said.
