Beyond the Cloud: Rethinking Architecture and Ownership Part 1 | Ep. 3

In this episode of Data Uncensored, Ash Young explains why traditional computing is failing.

He contrasts today’s computational storage with Cachengo’s model where each drive is its own server. Ash walks through the history of SMP, virtualization, and distributed systems to show how we’ve circled back to smaller, efficient, bare-metal nodes. And using the Parler shutdown, he showcases as a real-world case for why decentralization matters.

In our next episode, we will continue this conversation and explore how Cachengo uses underutilized data center space and repurposed facilities to deliver more efficient compute and storage in the same footprint, and why redefining occupancy could reshape the future of infrastructure.

Interview conducted by Ryo Koyama, CEO of noBGP.
