Recently, Storage Switzerland participated in a 2020 predictions webinar with iland and Veeam, which is now available on demand. Unlike other predictions webinars, our webinar gave IT-specific ways to overcome whatever the problem the prediction pinpointed One of those predictions…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) at scale raises the bar for storage infrastructure in terms of capacity and performance. It is not uncommon for an AI or machine learning (ML) environment to expect growth to dozens if not hundreds of terabytes of…
The StorageSwiss Report is a weekly discussion about hot trends and topics going on in the storage, cloud, and data protection markets. We don’t just cut & paste press releases. We provide insight as to why or why not the…
The promise of software-defined storage (SDS) aims to unify all of your organization’s storage assets through a single user interface. But that interface is supposed to do more than provide a single pane of glass for monitoring. It is also…
If disaster strikes, the purpose of a disaster recovery plan (DRP) is to guide the available IT personnel through the process of recovering the data center, either at an alternate site owned by the company or a facility owned by…
When designing a storage infrastructure for an artificial intelligence (AI) or deep learning (DL) workload, the default assumption is that an all-flash array (AFA) or something even faster must be at the heart of the design. The problem is as…
Most of today’s modern storage systems have a scale-out design, meaning they can expand to meet almost all of the data center’s capacity requirements. Also, since an increasing number of these systems are all-flash, they can meet most data center’s…
Technology rarely has “a year.” In most cases, what is that technology’s year is the accumulation of previous years’ worth of work until one year pushes the technology over the top in terms of adoption. With that admission, 2020 will…
When organizations try to establish a cloud strategy, one of the challenges they face is where to begin. The problem is the cloud can do so much, like run applications, and provide advanced services and store data, to name just…
In our last blog we covered the challenges that AI at scale creates for storage infrastructures. To support the coming wave of AI applications, storage infrastructures need to deliver a tremendous amount of storage capacity with the ability to retain…
