AsterionDB Revolutionizes File Management
A White Paper by Enterprise Management Associates VP of Research Chris Steffan
One could argue that the tech industry has been doing file storage and management wrong since the beginning. In fact, Bill Gates, Microsoft cofounder, talked about the inefficiencies of current file storage methods:
We had a rich database as the client/cloud store that was part of a Windows release that was before itstime. This is an idea that will reemerge since your cloud store will be rich with schema rather thanjust a bunch of files, and the client will be a partial replica of it with rich schema understanding.1
At the time, Gates was talking about WinFS (Windows Future Storage), which was eventually absorbed by SQL Server – and the idea was pushed aside for other technologies. Finally, the technology has arrived that allows us to realize the vision…and that realization is AsterionDB.
