Dell And Others Still Shopping For Storage
December 15, 2010 09:00 AM
On Dec. 13, Dell announced it has "entered into a definitive agreement for Dell to acquire Compellent ... " Dell also said it expects the transaction to be accretive to Dell non-GAAP earnings in its fiscal year 2012. There is no doubt that I, along with others in the industry, have blogged and written quite a bit on this topic over recent days. There has been no bidding war, no firing of shots across the bow from one vendor to another, and no soaring stock price in this quickly executed company acquisition. In my opinion, Compellent as a brand gets a big boost now, and Dell has bolstered its storage line up. So what's next for the Compellent brand as it integrates within Dell, and is Dell finished with storage vendor acquisitions?Extreme Makeover: FalconStor Edition

Founded in 2000, FalconStor is one of the companies that pioneered the current generation of advanced data protection software such as Virtual Tape Library (VTL), Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and Storage Virtualization. In 2007, after seven years of steady growth in shareholder value, the price for a share of FALC hit an all-time high of $13.90, and FalconStor's market cap almost reached $600 million. By November of 2008, FALC slid to an all-time low of $2.15--but the company continued to build on the same blueprint until the sudden resignation in September, 2010, of longtime CEO, ReiJane Huai.FalconStor VDI Solution: Economics And Performance

On August 24th, FalconStor announced their new NSS SAN Accelerator for VMware Virtual Desk Top Environments, and Network Computing covered it here.

Flash By Any Other Name. . .
March 30, 2010 11:00 AM
Today's flash SSDs are more than just the latest in a long series of storage systems that provide performance at any cost. RAMdisks, head per track disk, short-stroked drives and the like all boosted performance for datasets small enough to fit in the limited space they provided. Vendors are promising that we can use the performance of SSDs for more mainstream applications by moving the "hottest" data into SSDs and leaving the rest behind on capacity oriented drives. Now we just have to agree on what to call it. Caching, tiering, potato, potahto...FalconStor And Violin Add SSD To NSS
March 10, 2010 09:00 AM
While I had been waiting for FalconStor to add flash support to their Network Storage Server (NSS) storage virtualization software, I was expecting flash volumes off a Fusion-IO or TMS PCIe flash card with promises of automated tiering to arrive sometime before Snow White's prince. I was pleasantly surprised when the folks at FalconStor called to tell me they were aiming a little higher than that and using Violin's solid state memory array as a cache.Dedupe Everywhere Changes Economics

January 21, 2010 10:00 AM
