Disaggregated storage refers to the separation of compute and storage in database systems, enabling independent scaling of CPU and I/O resources and eliminating disk space limitations. While offering benefits like instant failover and easier scaling, it introduces latency challenges due to network I/O and requires a robust storage server. This approach is used by large tech companies and database vendors for better flexibility and scalability.
