Summary
In this episode I talk with Phil Straw, CEO and Co-founder of SoftIron. SoftIron creates superior appliances for scale-out datacenters, private and public cloud, and enterprise scale facilities. The appliances improves industry-standard performance on all critical metrics including density, efficiency, capacity, speed, and heat emission. Phil and I talk about how SoftIron has gone about designing and manufacturing their own appliances end to end and leverage Ceph to offer a truly open-source solution that scales with performance and without lock-in that has been delivered as a true software defined solution... and it's just the start for them!
SoftIron was founded in 2012 and is head quartered out of the London, UK.
