Amazon Takes on Cold Storage With Glacier

Amazon announces a cold storage take on the AWS S3 general-purpose cloud storage solution-- S3 Glacier Deep Archive, an alternative to the S3 Glacier offering aimed at making cloud-based archiving more attractive compared to legacy systems.

Glacier Deep Archive is designed for customers with large (of a petabyte or more) volumes of important but seldom accessed data. Usually such raw data is collected and stored for years just in case it is required, or retained for compliance or auditing purposes. Amazon claims Glacier Deep Archive offers the same durable and secure long-term storage as off-premises tape archives, without the hassle involved with such services.

IDC: Record Growth for EMEA External Storage

The EMEA external storage systems market records a positive Q4 2018 with revenues growing by 9.4% Y-o-Y, IDC reports. As for full-year 2018, the market shows record growth of 16.4% on the back of strong investments.

The all-flash-array (AFA) segment nearly makes 40% of total shipments in value (37% in Q4 2018 and 35% for 2018), and is about to take hybrid arrays (HFAs) as the most popular array type. HFAs still account for 45.1% of 2018 shipments (or 43.8% in Q4 2018), if with slower growth of 5.8% Y-o-Y, versus the 32% Y-o-Y growth in AFAs.

The growth in flash-powered arrays comes at the expense of HDD-only arrays, which currently remain mostly confined to secondary workloads. HDD-only arrays are down by -12.8% Y-o-Y in Q4 2018 and bby -18.4% for the full year.
