"Existing storage technologies, however, were not designed to deliver cloud services, and so cloud service providers require a new category of storage that can address their requirements:
* Massive scalability — Providers must assemble applications and information from multiple sources to create unique experiences for the consumer.
* Global distribution — An information policy is necessary to enable the applications and information to move closer to the consumer.
* Efficiency at scale — Providers need an easy, cost-effective way to operate and manage massive amounts of unstructured information.
This new category of storage, Cloud Optimized Storage (COS), is a perfect complement to traditional storage categories."

EMC gives Centera a software refresh
EMC gives Centera a software refresh: "I heard from customers that the number of objects would become a bottleneck. Centera had the capability of ingesting a certain amount of objects per node, so if you had more than that, it became a performance issue. Even though it had enough bandwidth, processing capability and memory, the number of objects became a constriction."
