Is hybrid storage the way forward for handling big data?

Hybrid storage combines different types of storage into one, offering the benefits of both fast and slow but cheaper storage options. It automates data movement between various storage systems, saving users from having to manage it manually. DoubleCloud's hybrid storage solution integrates Amazon S3 object storage with local GP2 storage, allowing users to write data into a table without worrying about moving old data or changing application access patterns. Hybrid storage can help reduce costs by using cheaper storage options for less frequently accessed data while still providing fast query times for active data. However, it may not be suitable for all use cases, especially those requiring constant access to the majority of stored data.
