Wikibon's Stu Miniman (@stu) and Dell EMC's Chad Sakac (@sakacc) discuss and diagram on a white board the rapidly changing landscape of storage. Chad states that the discussion is about "persistence", since the line between memory and storage is blurring through many of the architectures. They walk through where new solutions including cloud storage, all-flash arrays, SDS, and HCI are replacing traditional storage arrays. Have a topic that you'd like to whiteboard? Reach out to @stu on Twitter or LinkedIn. theCUBE will be covering Dell EMC World 2016 - see http://theCUBE.net
