Everyone is talking about software defined storage (SDS). But can it honestly work for your data center? In this StorageSwiss interview we talk with Andrew Flint from ioFABRIC about the realities of software defined storage. He outlines how storage administrators…
Storage Admins and Database Admins are often at odds with one another. DBAs want more performance, more availability and more capacity, often pushing the storage architecture to its limits. In this video, StorageSwiss and ioFABRIC depict the typical DBA /…
For simplicity, most storage administrators create a finite number of LUNs for their VMware Infrastructure and assign as many virtual machine (VM) datastores to each LUN as possible. Management is simplified thanks to a limited number of LUNs but it…
Software Defined Storage (SDS) has fundamentally changed the way storage hardware is purchased by abstracting storage services from the physical hardware. But to reach its full potential SDS needs to go back to school. Watch this on demand webinar with…
Since the introduction of flash, two primary methods for addressing application performance have emerged. First, the Hybrid Array that, using algorithms based on a dataset’s frequency of access, caches active data. The challenge with any algorithm that predicts future access…
Software defined storage (SDS) has been a common term in the data center for several years now. Its definition, for the most part is very similar to its predecessor, storage virtualization. Both concepts attempted to abstract data services from the…
Software Defined Storage (SDS) brings great promise to the data center. It can increase flexibility, simplify management and decrease costs. But SDS can do so much more and in this podcast I’ve asked our founder George Crump and the VP…
Software Defined Storage (SDS) provides the ability for multiple storage hardware elements to be managed through software, enabling a data center to have a common interface to pool, provision and protect storage assets across vendor platforms. This basic abstraction is a…
Software Defined Storage (SDS) has fundamentally changed the data center and holds great promise as organizations try to meet the performance demands of applications and users while driving down storage management costs. But the current generation of SDS needs to…
The first generation of Software Defined Storage (SDS 1.0) was an important step forward for storage management, as it opened up choice within the data center while bringing some semblance of centralized management. SDS 2.0 takes the next step by…
