Why science geeks need storage scaling, too | #OOW14

The ability to scale storage in the scientific realm is essential. As the instrumentation and technology used to capture data increases in megapixel resolution, that drastically implies an increase in the amount of storage required to archive all that data, and then ultimately give a representation to the scientists.
In an interview for theCUBE at Oracle OpenWorld this week, CIO of the National Ignition Facility Tim Frazier explained why the organization would’ve been held back if it didn’t have the ability to economically scale up storage and compute by virtualization, offered insight into how NetApp is being used and shared some new scientific discoveries.
