Hyperconverged architectures have an enterprise problem because while they start off simple enough, as they scale they becoming increasingly complex and waste resources. Storage capacity and performance are particularly difficult to use efficiently. Also, intra-networking, when there are a dozen…
Over the last few years, Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) deployments have been on the increase. HCI combines server, storage and networking into a single system building block, however, it introduces many new complexities into your environment. Listen as Storage Switzerland and…
NVM Express (NVMe) is an optimized, high performance, scalable host controller interface with a streamlined register interface and larger command set designed for accessing memory-based storage attached through the PCIe bus. Put simply’ it is a better protocol for flash…
Implementing a Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) seems easy, buy the basic three-node configuration, plug it into the network and start creating virtual machines. To a large extent, the initial setup and first days of use are just that, easy. The simple…
When flash storage first came to market it exposed the weakness in storage designs, hidden by the latency of hard disk media. Now, NVMe promises to expose weaknesses in the designs of the first generation of all-flash arrays. One of…
Three primary storage challenges that keep IT up at night: How to keep up with application performance demand How to affordably manage and store the vast amount of data that IT has to store How to protect that data so…
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is set to go in effect in a matter of months, yet according to a SpiceWorks Survey, only 9% of US IT professionals feel they have a good understanding of the regulation.…
The All-Flash era is well upon us, and most data centers consider an all-flash product storage tier both realistic and practical. But the flash industry continues to march on. New technologies like NVMe and ultra high-density flash modules promise to…
Over the last few years, Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) deployments have been on the increase. HCI combines server, storage and networking into a single system building block, however, it introduces many new complexities into your environment. Join Storage Switzerland and Datrium…
The European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is forcing IT organizations worldwide to pay careful attention to their backup and recovery processes. The problem is most of these processes are already fragile and adding more responsibility may cause…
