We need to put our energy into becoming efficient, and there are several strategies that can be employed in concert, including metadata processing to reduce the payload, pre-filtering to reduce network congestion, transparent compression features embedded into drives, and increasing capacity density without burdening the CPU.

Zhang believes that data is accumulating faster than enterprises can deploy data center architectures. “We need to put our energy into becoming efficient, and there are several strategies that can be employed in concert, including metadata processing to reduce the payload, pre-filtering to reduce network congestion, transparent compression features embedded into drives, and increasing capacity density without burdening the CPU,” he says.
