There are many details involved in setting up a scalable storage system.
For a small office / home office, a NAS is typically sufficient. This combines storage and one or two network interfaces in one package.
Larger installations (e.g. Microsoft's server farm) must provide multiple network interfaces, and perform load balancing between them. This is an entirely different field (see Network Load Balancing - Wikipedia). These server farms will typically have one computer per few network interfaces.
Lastly, the storage in a large server farm is typically pooled between the various computers using SAN or related protocols (see Storage area network - Wikipedia). Other issues, such as hot-swapping of storage, storage reliability, etc. are beyond what can be put in a short message.

The situation with datacenter storage was already complicated when I got out of any sort of software development that required me to be in proximity to such a system back in the early aughts.
I can only imagine what it looks like now, if it's in any way comparable to the way the web has evolved since then.

The situation hasn`t changed that much since 2010 we`re still saving pictures and text on our Facebook accounts. I guess the difference today is that while in 2010 10% of people had facebook now the percentage is 80 or more.

The only major difference is the percentage of storage taken up by cat videos. 20 years ago it was close to 0%, today it's heading toward 100%.

So they're not connected with CAT-6 anymore? 12 now or what?

I think that they use gamma-ray lasers and atom-size wormholes to transmit data faster than light.

physics in it`s true glory all across the range.

storage taken where? 100% percent of what?
All in all interesting insight

3 words : It is complicated.
Conceptually, it's easy, but implementation is a B*tch, both on the hardware side and on the server side.

You obviously never watched "That's Life".

There are a lot of different "That's Life" to watch and I am not sure I have watched any of them.
Just thought it was a clever quote.

This great website has deep insights on how to synergize your team efficiency!

I f***ing hate Jira.

Like 4 years ago they came to us, as we wanted to use ready-made tracking software instead of writing our own...
After they tried very hard to persuade us to do things totally differently we send them back to the hole they came from...
Even to talk with their representative was like talking to the bricks in the wall...

We have a self-hosted JIRA version since last year, only to hear now that they will no longer support it, only the online version!
Needless to say that we don't want JIRA anymore

Only an online version? So that everyone's dirty laundry get can hacked and exposed for the world to see? Idiots.
EDIT: And also so they can adopt SaaS. Sphincters.
