Analytics is evolving from big data, machine learning to artificial intelligence. Machine learning is the analysis of data at rest, artificial intelligence (AI) is the analysis of data in real-time. Machine learning is predictive; AI is cognitive. The requirements of…
The one constant in the modern data center is scale. IT professionals are continuously under pressure to add additional servers, virtual machines and containers. With those additions comes the demand for more storage capacity and more storage performance. The storage…
After being delisted from NASDAQ and filing for Chapter 11, Tintri may have found a savior. Data Direct Networks (DDN) entered into a non-binding letter of intent agreement with Tintri to acquire most of Tintri’s assets. DDN is a well-run…
The data center network is on the verge of one of its most dramatic upgrades in bandwidth in decades. Virtualized data centers, as well as hyperscale and rack scale environments, are driving the need for higher bandwidth networks. These environments…
Unstructured data is growing at alarming rates. The growth is the result of not only increased user activity but also by machines and IoT devices. Re-creation of this data isn’t possible. It is a point time capture of sensory data.…
The storage infrastructure for multi-rack scale applications like Hadoop Spark, Cassandra, and CouchBase, are typically built using directly attached flash-based storage instead of a shared flash array. The motivation for using direct-attached storage (DAS) is simple. Media inside a server…
The Security Problems with Multi-Vendor Data Storage One of the most common data center trends is storage system sprawl. In today’s data center, every environment or workload has a unique storage architecture. While dispersed storage does allow IT to target…
Accuracy and response time defines the success or failure of an AI or analytics project. The faster and more accurate the response the more trusted the system is. The more data provided to the project the more accurate it becomes.…
Ransomware has been a thorn in the side of IT professionals for over five years. What those professionals have seen so far though is just the tip of the iceberg. At the same time that IT is improving its response…
High-Performance Computing (HPC) is no longer limited to the halls of academia and large government labs. Commercial HPC use cases are on the rise. Many organizations now have a large pool of unstructured data that requires analysis. The challenge for…
