Complexity fails: A lesson from storage simplification
Storage architectures show simplicity's power and how to build clouds at scale.
Simple systems scale effectively, while complex systems struggle to overcome the multiplicative effect of potential failure points. This shows us why the most reliable and scalable clouds are those made up of fewer, simpler parts.
Dennis Ritchie's legacy of elegantly useful tools

"UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity," Dennis Ritchie once said. It's true, and we need more geniuses who share his spirit.
