Flash Memory Summit Video – Flash and the Cloud
Most major cloud providers now offer a flash storage option as part of their compute service. A high performance option enables in-cloud databases and applications the same benefits as if they were running flash in an on-premises data center. The…
Flash Memory Summit Video – How Can Flash and DRAM Work Together?
Flash storage is of course a major theme at the Flash Memory Summit, but also is server memory. The need to increase the amount of memory per server is critical to making applications like MySQL, Splunk, Cassandra and Couchbase live…

Flash Memory Summit Video – Software Defined Storage and Flash
Software Defined Storage (SDS) is nothing new, vendors have been presenting it under different names for years. But SDS really had not taken off, it was hindered by a lack of CPU power and highly latent hard disk performance. The…
ChalkTalk Video: Software Defined Storage has to do More
The first phase of software defined storage (SDS) is bringing many benefits to the data center. Its abstraction of storage software from the storage hardware enables organizations to manage all their storage assets from a single view, along with a…
Is Unstructured Data Breaking your NAS?
Today’s issues with unstructured data is vastly different than the unstructured data problems of the past. While users still play a roll, machines like sensors, cameras and other servers are generating most of the unstructured data we have to deal…
Overcoming the All-Flash Array Mentality to VDI
When it comes to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) projects, all-flash arrays are quickly moving from a “nice to have” to a “need to have” component of the project. The all-flash required phenomenon is driven partly by users, but largely by…
ChalkTalk Video: Designing Storage for Social Discovery
There is a lot of storage cost for “social discovery” websites – sites that deliver content based on specific search requirements – to store their petabytes of collected data. The need to provide near instant response to user requests but…

ChalkTalk Video: Banning Excel Spreadsheet from Storage Management
Excel spreadsheets are the well-worn method IT administrators use to manage oversight of their storage systems. The spreadsheets track what servers serve to what LUN, how much capacity is available per LUN and how much capacity is available to assign.…
ChalkTalk Video: Do Hyperconverged Architectures really Converge Networking?
Hyperconverged architectures claim to collapse compute, storage and networking into the same physical hardware. They create a cluster out of physical servers and leverage hypervisor technology to allow the cluster to run virtual machines and storage services at the same…
