An Independent Process for Assessing & Refreshing Storage Every data center eventually needs to increase capacity, resiliency, performance or the cost efficiency of its storage architecture. It needs to refresh storage infrastructure. The problem is that most organizations don’t have…
While hyperconverged infrastructures (HCI) offer rapid startup they lock organizations into a specific set of vendor compute, storage, networking and hypervisor configurations. And, as the infrastructure scales it becomes increasingly difficult to deliver workload specific levels of performance and data…
Times have changed. Data centers must refresh storage more frequently than ever. The organization wants faster application response to more sophisticated queries across more users. Or it wants to start a totally new endeavor, like better decision making driven by…
Hyperconvergence scales by adding nodes. Each node provides compute, storage, and network. The problem is very few data centers need these three resources at the same time. In most cases the data center consistently needs more of one of the…
Hyperconvergence has a real problem. It can’t scale. While hyperconverged architectures may be a good match for medium sized business, as the environment scales it’s “all for one, one for all” simplicity becomes problematic. As is usually the case, storage…

The business environment changed radically over the last decade. Long gone are the standard 9 to 5 working days on a Monday through Friday business model. Today, businesses are operating 24/7 365 days a year. Operations are moving to be…
Storage Switzerland is at Amazon AWS re:Invent again this year. We are lurking the halls of re:Invent, tackling vendors and users to get their thoughts on what’s going on with the cloud. Amazon re:Invent Bigger Than VMworld VMworld has been…
Proper data management can indeed make data more mobile. Put another way, it can appear to make data more mobile by making it appear to be in multiple places at the same time without consuming capacity. One of the key…
