Organizations have tried a variety of solutions to regain control of their data storage infrastructure. They’ve invested in monolithic storage systems, software defined storage (SDS) and hyper-converged systems. While each approach may have brought some value, each failed in its…
The speed at which the data center is evolving is forcing IT to sacrifice proper storage architecture design. IT is just trying to keep its head above water; it doesn’t have time to swim. This reality leads to a primary…
Scaling is a capability that almost every vendor claims but few execute well. Most vendors claim to provide scalability via a scale-out storage system, but scale-out by itself is not enough to address all the scaling demands of a Commercial…
High-Performance Computing (HPC) used to be limited to universities and government agencies, now though industries of all types are leveraging HPC for big manufacturing, in-depth analysis, sophisticated modeling and VFX rendering. However, commercial organizations don’t have the time for erector…
The storage architecture requirements for Commercial HPC are different from those for traditional enterprise storage architecture. They are also different from the traditional HPC requirements. Most enterprise IT professionals try to either extend their current storage architectures, which are supporting…
High-Performance Computing (HPC) is no longer a workload for academia, now organizations of all types and sizes have HPC like workloads that require scalable, sequential access to vast amounts of unstructured data. These initiatives need rapid access and need to…
High-Performance Compute (HPC) and commercial data centers used to be two distinctly separate entities, but now businesses of all types are conducting HPC-like operations. These organizations have large amounts of unstructured data that they need rapid sequential access to for…
