Intelligent Storage

What Is Intelligence
   As It Relates to Storage?
  • Intelligence implies that the storage devices not only store data, but they are aware of the data objects and storage resources contained within the device.

  • Intelligence implies that it can act on those objects and manage their storage resources explicitly or implicitly.

  • Intelligence implies that the storage device can be made aware of the data object content (what is inside the data object) and possibly their context (how they relate to other data objects and the rest of the world).

  • Finally, intelligence implies that a generic intelligent storage device can be taught to perform new tasks dynamically as the data requirements and the world around it change.
