Super Micro’s innovation of their storage chassis is great news, anything we can do to make storage more energy efficient, more accessible and scalable for the end user has to be a good thing for the platform and the industry. Improving the energy efficiency of the power supply, the storage chassis is the first step, we need to look at the way we manage and scale or tier the storage. Can we use data de-duplication? Do we need a data strategy?  Do we need the volume of data we have available and online all the time? Can we look at technologies where we put legacy data on less immediate or expensive storage, where can make it available on demand, but not store is unnecessarily. In the meantime, the more the vendors can do with software and hardware to make it more compatible, energy efficient, accessible and affordable, the better for the end user community.
