A File System in the Cloud vs. A Cloud File System
There are two types of cloud based file systems. One is designed to extend cloud storage into the organization. The other is designed to allow organizations to run applications in the cloud but use more traditional file protocols like NFS…
What is the Two Tier Data Center?
Most data centers have at least five to six different storage systems from different vendors, increasing storage costs and management complexity. One potential solution is the all-flash data center, where all data is moved to a single all-flash array. While…
Webinar: How to Create A Two Tier Enterprise With All-Flash and Object Storage
The only problem with the all-flash data center is most of the data (as much as 85%) organizations store is not accessed in more than a year. Assuming there is a more cost effective way to store that data it…

SlideShare: The Four Requirements of a Cloud-Era File System
File systems are the heart of most organizations. They’re how critical unstructured data assets are stored, organized, and shared. But with files exploding in size and quantity as well as the cloud offering potentially cheaper and more scalable storage than…
How to Implement Replication for Rapid Recovery
For organizations needing to protect mission-critical critical systems, software-based replication is an ideal way to meet and potentially exceed expectations. In fact, replication can be implemented so cost effectively that the scope of coverage can extend beyond mission-critical systems and…

What Is The Best Way to Tier Within The Cloud?
The major public cloud storage providers now all offer multiple tiers of storage. Like in the data center each successive tier becomes less expensive per GB. But unlike the data center it becomes more costly per access. IT should look…
Do All-Flash Arrays Have A Failure Domain Problem?
The capacity of all-flash arrays has been on the rise for several years. Many vendors are now claiming petabytes (PB) of capacity in just a few rack units. While these arrays promise to dramatically reduce the footprint of the data…
StorageShort: Why Does The Data Center Need NVMe Over Fabrics?
The NVMe protocol allows servers or storage systems to communicate to flash storage with more optimally. This PCIe-based architecture enables larger command sets and IO queue depths resulting in lower latency and greater performance. It is a wholesale replacement for…
