Finding New Ways To Boost Storage Performance
September 03, 2013 01:42 PM
Storage was a hot topic at VMworld, but storage innovation isn't just about virtualization. Violin Memory, Skyera and Avere showcased novel approaches to accelerate storage.Report From The Tape Summit

This week I spent two busy days in San Francisco at the second annual Tape Summit. While some may wonder if there’s enough life left in tape to have a summit I know tape has taken a bad rap over the past few years. In this post I’ll reflect on a few key facts that came out at the summit and expose some fallacies about tape. To start Gartner never said “71% of all attempts to restore from tape fail”.Kaminario’s K2 Climbs the SSD Storage Performance Mountain
March 09, 2012 09:00 AM
One of the most exciting development areas for the ICT (information and communications technology) industry is in the attempt to address the I/O gap challenge, whereby servers are often frustrated in their attempts to read and write data as fast as they would like from traditional storage. Various approaches using solid-state devices (SSDs) are targeting the problem. Innumerable smaller companies have been attempting to address the I/O gap, and more recently large IT vendors--notably, EMC with its VFCache and IBM with SSD caching for its XIV storage systems--have been joining the fray. The smaller vendors want to shout out, "Don’t forget about us!" Many of those companies are worth paying attention to, including Kaminario, which has a clear and solid vision.GridIron Systems: Mining Big Data 'Gold' in a Flash
January 12, 2012 09:27 AM
Trends in the IT industry sometimes resemble gold rushes as vendors pan for revenue "nuggets." The use of solid state devices (SSDs)--most notably, flash memory--is the central point of one of these, but just as with the real 19th century gold rushes in California and Alaska, not all prospectors (that is, vendors) will be successful. Where the claims are staked can make all the difference in the world, and GridIron Systems is staking one with a focus on accelerating big data analyses.IT Executives Have Better Handle On SSD's In 2010
January 21, 2010 08:00 AM
In the last three years, IT executives have been hearing about solid state disk drives (SSD), but technology adoption has largely been limited to high performance computing (HPC) where SSD is an integral component. This year, market uptake will again expand, only now decision-makers have a better grasp of how and where they can use SSD in their enterprises.Intel and Numonyx Memory Research Breakthrough Could Solve SSD Memory Limitations

Intel and Numonyx B.V. has achieved a research milestone with non-volatile cross point phase change memory (PCM) technology. The breakthrough potentially paves the way for highly scalable, high density memory products that may one day offer low cost, high performance alternatives to traditional NAND Flash and NOR memory employed in solid state drives (SSD).SanDisk Ships World's First Flash Memory Cards With 64 Gigabit X4 (4-Bits-Per-Cell) NAND Flash Technology
