ENST-302A-1: Designing Storage Systems for the Exabyte Era (Enterprise Storage Track)
Paper Title: Designing Storage Systems for the Exabyte Era

Paper Abstract: Storage has moved to center stage in the era of petabytes and exabytes. This area is now the center of attention as processors and networks have moved into a period of tremendous complexity and slow progress. To manage the huge rapid data flows required by key applications such as real-time analytics, AI/ML, virtual and augmented reality, exascale HPC, and IoT, significant system-level design and implementation breakthroughs are essential. Storage systems must take fll advantage of all the latest technological advances such as persistent memory, high-density NAND (QLC), NVMe, and fabric-based networking. Scalability is obviously essential as datasets continue to grow at breathtaking rates, local stores and processing are necessary to avoid long data transfers, and flexibility is paramount as systems must take full control of both metadata and policies. System complexity must be reduced, particularly to keep the megaclouds manageable. International organizations at all levels must bring together researchers, designers, and users to create the standards, certifications, open-source software, and training required to make the new era of storage successful.
