A panel of IT leaders discussed the benefits of software-defined storage at a recent Computing IT Leaders Forum event ‘Building an insight driven digital business’.
Matt Cadieux, CIO at Red Bull Racing, said that if CIOs take storage for granted, they’re missing a trick, and failing to solve a business problem which needs to be solved.
Cadieux described his environment, which uses IBM’s Spectrum Scale product for its file and object storage.
« We added capacity in our software control layer, » said Cadieux. « This control layer allows us to make changes which are invisible to the company, but it means that the performance and capacity they need is there whenever they require, » he added.
