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…
Unstructured data is hard to protect. It is growing at alarming rates. It is a crucial target of cyber-threats like ransomware. Even the makeup of the data is problematic. Unstructured data is often made up of millions, and in some…
The first three chapters presented the flash to flash to cloud architecture as a design that enables an organization to overcome the majority of its primary storage challenges as well as provide a method to improve its data protection and…
Because of its sheer size, both in capacity and number of files, protecting unstructured data is a top concern for many organizations. The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as the growing concern over data privacy worldwide…
Unprecedented data growth, increased demands for performance and new use cases like analytics and IoT are pushing Network Attached Storage (NAS) to the breaking point. Organizations are looking to cloud storage to help them solve the problem and stop the…
Disaster recovery planning (DRP) is a long and arduous process. The process of creating and even updating a disaster recovery plan is the primary reason that most plans, if they exist, are woefully out of date. In the event of…
Cloud backup is an ideal complement to an enterprise’s existing backup strategy. The problem is most cloud backup solutions seek to replace the solution already in place. Enterprises don’t want to throw away years of investment in training and processes…
The primary objective of a data protection strategy is to protect data frequently and consistently. The ever growing size of data, the diversity of systems that store that data and the high expectations of the creators and consumers of that…
An ideal use case for the cloud is for backup. It automatically creates an offsite copy; most cloud providers automatically replicate that backup to another cloud region, and now some providers offer disaster recovery services. One of the upfront challenges…
The storage architecture requirements for Commercial HPC are different from those for traditional enterprise storage architecture. They are also different from the traditional HPC requirements. Most enterprise IT professionals try to either extend their current storage architectures, which are supporting…
