Where Would We Be Without NVMe?
The purpose of the NVMe standard is to replace SCSI-based protocols, like SAS, so memory-based storage systems, like all-flash arrays, can live up to their full potential. Data centers may not need the performance potential of NVMe all-flash systems. But…
Are Hybrid Arrays the New Secondary Storage
Before all-flash hybrid arrays existed, systems made up of flash, and high performance hard disk drives were the go-to option for organizations looking to solve performance problems. However, hybrid systems’ dominance was short lived as all-flash arrays came to market…

What is End to End NVMe?
NVMe is a storage protocol designed specifically for flash-based storage. It is PCIe-based and provides more commands per IO queue and more IO queues. The NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-F) extension gives IP and Fibre Channel (FC) networks the ability to…
Can Cloud Backup Reduce Backup Storage Costs?
One of the most expensive aspects of data protection is the cost of the storage that holds all of the copies of data. Backup storage capacity can be 10X or more the capacity of primary storage. Backup storage has a…
Why IT Needs a New Data Protection Strategy for Unstructured Data
Unstructured data has always been a sore spot for the data protection process. The growth in the number of files that make up unstructured data sets and the capacity that they consume now threatens to break the data protection model…

What is Scale-Out NVMe?
The first step for NVMe flash is to use them internally in servers and storage systems. However, there is another aspect of NVMe, NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-F) that promises high-speed communication between devices and also promises a new way to…
Meeting the Core Principles of Data Protection
As the data center modernizes, new initiatives and trends are impacting the data protection process. In our webinar, “5 Key Trends that Could Challenge Your Data Protection Plan in 2018,” we discuss how things like Hybrid IT, Ransomware, application explosion,…
