Welcome to TechDaily.ai, your go-to source for cutting-edge infrastructure insights. In this episode, we take a deep dive into Direct Attached Storage (DAS)—a term you may think you know… but it’s been quietly undergoing a revolution.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
- 📦 Why DAS is more than “just a bunch of disks”
- 💡 How modern applications like Exchange 2010 made DAS smarter (and cheaper!)
- 🔄 The rise of shared DAS, direct area networks (DANs), and converged infrastructures
- ☁️ Why cloud giants like Dropbox rely on DAS-based architectures for hyperscale storage
- 🧠 The shift of storage “intelligence” from hardware to software—changing everything
- 🏢 How vendors are being forced to rethink storage offerings in a software-defined world
From dusty internal drives to powering the biggest cloud storage farms on Earth, DAS is no longer basic—it’s transformational.
