Geeking out on cloud storage with Joe Arnold of SwiftStack

Are you a lover of data storage technology? Do your ears perk up when you hear terms like “data gravity” and “erasure coding”? Do you enjoy a good debate about the proper uses of deterministic data placement versus algorithmic placement?

Then this is the podcast for you.

In this episode, SwiftStack co-founder and CEO Joe Arnold talks about those very things and much, much more. In fact, during our 41-minute chat, he gets into a level of storage detail with a level of storage enthusiasm that you probably won’t run into anywhere else in the podcast world. I feel safe saying that.

The great part about all this detail and enthusiasm is that even if you are not currently a storage expert—if you are merely someone who aspires to become a storage expert—this is the podcast for you as well.

I speak from experience. Having participated in this discussion, I can now explain to you the difference between erasure coding and replicas. And I’m a marketer for crying out loud. I don’t know how to say this without offending my colleagues, but technical depth is not always our strength.

So whether you’re a storage fan because you love it already or because you want to love it more, I encourage you to tune in to this week’s episode of Cloud Unfiltered. Some of the other things we cover during this particular chat include:

  • How and why Joe started SwiftStack
  • Whether you should put sensitive data in the public cloud
  • Why SwiftStack is committed to keeping data in its native format when storing it
  • How AI will improve storage strategies in the future 
  • The impact of the network on data storage
  • Why cost Is not the reason to move to the cloud
