Software-Defined Storage or What Killed the Dinosaurs?

Once, they were at the top of the food chain. For millennia. Then the unimaginable happened: the sky was covered with clouds, and they ceased to exist. On the other side of the world, events changed the climate: cloud cover increased. The dinosaurs became too big and slow; their attempts to survive were doomed to fail. The apex predators ruled the Earth for 100 million years, growing larger and becoming ever […]
