Customizable and More Efficient Computational Storage
ScaleFlux Briefing Note Data-driven, processing-intensive workloads like database processing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and content delivery networks (CDN) require new levels of storage performance, which today is coming to mean deployment on a non-volatile memory express (NVMe)…
Infinidat Introduces Elastic Data Fabric
More Efficient NVMe-oF at Enterprise Scale For large enterprises, data stores continue to grow into the petabytes (PB), and increasingly need to operate across on-premises infrastructure and cloud services in order to balance cost, control and performance needs. Meanwhile, the…
How to Make Data Archiving Easier Than Expanding Primary Storage
Most IT professionals will admit that most of their data is inactive and hasn’t been accessed in years. Storage Switzerland finds that over 80% of the data in most data centers falls into this category. There are viable solutions to…
Why SwiftStack for Splunk SmartStore?
Solving the Data Management Challenges Created by Growth in Splunk Usage One of the biggest challenges when it comes to generating business intelligence from large, distributed datasets like Splunk is meeting very large capacity and very fast search performance requirements…
