Interop Radio: It's All About Storage

One of the secret areas of exciting news in the computer world is data storage. After years of incremental progress things are changing -- and changing fast.

From the hardware on which bits are stored to the software that manages the hardware systems, 2015 is set to be a year that sees significant improvements in speed, reliability, and flexibility in storage systems for individuals, small businesses and large enterprises. Join us as we talk with noted storage expert Howard Marks about recent improvements in storage technology and what he sees on the horizon for the coming year.

Howard Marks is founder and chief scientist at Deepstorage LLC, a storage consultancy and independent test lab based in Santa Fe, N.M. and concentrating on storage and data center networking.

Morgan, Borden Foods, U.S. Tobacco, BBDO Worldwide, Foxwoods Resort Casino and the State University of New York at Purchase.
