Something new in storage: Seagate's Kinetic Open Storage.
Key/value pairs on a disk whose interface is TCP/IP on Ethernet, with a supporting protocol. Real “storage in a cloud”, not a disk array and file system wrapped with a cloud interface.
This smells revolutionary to me.
Seagate appears to be making the entire stack open, in the hope of creating a ubiquitous standard, much like TCP/IP is today. If they pull that off, this will be revolutionary.
I want to buy one. Right now.
