What areas do you think scale out has already been adopted from the poll question below if any?
Jeff Hughes
Compute, storage, networking...all-scaling out. It's the applications man!
Andrew Miller
Heavily adopted in HPC, partly adopted in primary storage. Hyperconverged is an example of scaleout eating primary storage.
Stephen Pao
Compute farms / HPC already strive for scale-out.
Patrick Rogers
HPC, Networking
Chris Harney
@steve_pao agree for strive to be scale out. Not all do
jeff dinisco
compute, storage, backup, and HCI
Andrew Miller
but from a mindshare perspective, I'd argue people ask about/see the need for scaleout already in Networking, Primary Storage, and Compute Farms/HPC. It's on the adoption/mindshare curve for Backup.
Andrew Miller
Diaster Recovery is interesting as it's a combo of backup/storage/networking/etc.
Chris Dwan
I disagree about HPC, unless we're talking about Spark and similar architectures. Batch HPC is anything but scale out when we include network and storage.

block storage hasn't really happened save a few exceptions
