Cloud storage usage patterns and reference architectures

Portals and Enterprise end users are currently promoting the dynamic implementation of new, cost-per-million megabytes of public cloud and private cloud storage architectures. Storage requirements can be divided into 8 general usage patterns to optimize energy efficiency requirements at the lowest cost per million megabyte. These use patterns employ standard high shipments of compute and storage components, as well as standard and open source (in most cases) software. Intel is actively collaborating with portals, cloud service providers, and enterprise end users to define a rack-level reference Architecture for each usage pattern, ultimately optimizing the performance and cost objectives for each million megabyte.
