What is disaggregated storage?

Disaggregated storage separates storage resources from compute and reconnects them through a high-speed network. In this episode, Matt Finio explains how this architecture enables independent scaling, shared data access and more efficient infrastructure refresh cycles. Discover the role of software-defined storage, NVMe over Fabrics, TCP, RDMA and Fibre Channel, along with the benefits and challenges of disaggregated storage for AI, cloud services and distributed systems.
