In this great article by ZDNet, Andrew Brust covers the release of Dremio’s Data Lake Engine for sources such as Azure and S3.
We liked this bit:
“Since Dremio itself is deployed on a cluster of cloud virtual machines (VMs) and since VM instance types that use high-speed Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid state drive (SSD) technology are plentiful, Dremio’s Data Lake Engine caches data from the cloud storage-based lake into those much faster SSDs for better performance. Dremio’s name for this technology is “C3” (the Columnar Cloud Cache).”
