At our last cloud meeting the EMC Atmos team came out to speak and provided some insight into their new category of storage called “Cloud Optimized Storage” or COS which EMC defines as:

• Massively Scalable - not just inside a datacenter but on a global scale.
• Global Distribution - policy driven so that you can automatically place data where it needs to be based on demand or a need for improved protection (aka disaster protection)
• Efficiency at Scale - to make information available when needed and where it is needed the platform has to be smart enough to copy data where it is demanded and reduce the copies when they are not in use.

I’ve attached the Atmos presentation they presented and the cloudcast from the meeting both of which you can find here:
