A look back at Brews & Bytes (B&B) webcasts on broader topics around storage, technology and the world in which we live
This week, we continue taking a look back at our year of Brews & Bytes (B&B) webcasts with a dive into the broader topics that address storage and technology. While most of these involved bringing in experts from partner companies, we also had a couple of episodes that featured our team in casual discussions.
We’ve all heard the phrase “content is king” which originated in an essay Bill Gates wrote; but, that has never been more true than in 2020. And, without a doubt, content needs storage—lots and lots of storage.
So, it is no surprise that we are seeing the hunt for educational resources about object-based storage and data management soar.
Here are the top educational resources that have been consumed by storage professionals on the Caringo website.
Despite a global pandemic and social turmoil, there were some positive shifts in our world that were facilitated by technology. The ability to order just about anything online and to virtually meet with medical professionals, family, friends, and teachers as well as colleagues and peers, and an inexhaustible amount of content with which to entertain ourselves stood out as capabilities not possible even a decade ago. So with that in mind, let’s take a closer look at what we like to call the 3 Cs (content, cloud and collaboration) and our predictions for 2021.
The Store segment of the BaM Content Chain® covers the storage of content throughout its lifecycle. This can be on-premise or cloud object storage, SAN and NAS – including disk, SSD, optical and data tape, as well as storage management, archive storage, video servers and VTRs.
With an ever-growing amount of content needing to be stored and then rapidly accessed from anywhere, with ever-higher resolutions only increasing the pressure, Store today means much more than the simple repository its name implies. We spoke to 10 IABM member companies to catch up on all the latest developments in this largely unheralded but vital content chain segment.

With Thanksgiving today in the States, it is a good time to reflect on the things we are grateful for. At Caringo, that includes our longtime and new customers, the wonderful partners we work with, and the professional organizations that keep us all connected to our communities. In the Media & Entertainment (M&E) Community, that includes Media & Entertainment Services Alliance (MESA), Sports Video Group (SVG), Society of Media Professionals, Technologists and Engineers (SMPTE) and The International Trade Association for the Broadcast & Media Industry (IABM).
Many in the storage world still have a skewed view of object storage. This really isn’t a surprise given that there are three concepts that need to be defined when talking about object storage, and different storage vendors often have different definitions of those concepts. The 3 concepts are interface/protocol, object structure/system and storage media. In this blog, I am going to focus primarily on interface and protocol.
