Businesses supporting multiple remote locations often find that they cannot leverage the cloud to service their end users in the field. For example, large retail chains sometimes have a need to support hundreds of stores across the United States. While…
The hottest trend in storage now is converged storage. In this architecture the physical servers that host virtual machines also provide a shared storage resource by abstracting and aggregating their own internal storage. Like any storage architecture this approach has…
Virtualization creates a variety of unique factors that cause storage bottlenecks. An increase in application density, coupled with high volumes of randomized read and write requests, for example, place an increased burden on shared storage resources that ultimately has an…
Changes are coming to the Data Center. It will be highly virtualized with extremely high virtual machine densities. It will thrive on flexibility, cost and efficiency. To talk about The Next Generation Data Center is Jay Prassl from SolidFire and Storage Switzerland…
– and why all organizations should want one Watch the Webinar on Demand: “Storage Requirements for the Next Generation Data Center” Cloud providers face some significant challenges, especially with storage. Many run very dense VM-to-host ratios that create highly random…
As I discussed at a recent event and covered in one of our top-read articles, “How Will Storage Controller Technology Evolve in 2014?“, this may be a year of significant change in the way we architect storage. There are three…
Watch the On Demand Webinar: “Storage Requirements for the Next Generation Data Center” The Next Generation Data Center is HERE. These data centers are highly virtualized environments with extremely high virtual machine densities. They thrive on flexibility and cost efficiency.…
Register for Our Live webinar event “Stopping Storage Performance Sprawl” Deploying server-side cache is an effective way to accelerate application workloads; whether they are hosted on bare metal servers or virtualized infrastructure. But with so many flash and SSD options…
When effectively implemented, flash storage technologies can help remedy storage IO contention issues and deliver a performance benefit to virtualized applications. It is important, however, for IT planners to find ways of augmenting virtual machine (VM) performance without discarding their…
