Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management

Thursday, July 25, 2013
10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET

In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

A Network Computing Webinar:
SDN First Steps

Thursday, August 8, 2013
11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET

This webinar will help attendees understand the overall concept of SDN and its benefits, describe the different conceptual approaches to SDN, and examine the various technologies, both proprietary and open source, that are emerging. It will also help users decide whether SDN makes sense in their environment, and outline the first steps IT can take for testing SDN technologies.

EMC Reboots VNX for Flash Storage

September 04, 2013 12:53 PM
EMC launches new VNX arrays with upgraded software to take full advantage of SSD performance. All-flash startups still have an advantage, but VNX takes a big step forward.

Whiptail Reinvents Performance Flash

May 10, 2012 01:00 PM
Whiptail's Invicta, called the world's first scale-out, modular, enterprise-class solid state storage platform, offers up to 72 Tbytes of NAND flash capacity, sustained bandwidth beyond 6 Gbytes per second, sustained IOPS beyond 600,000 and a latency that's so low it's virtually undetectable in a multitenant, multiprotocol environment.

SSD, Scale-Out Architecture To Grow

February 29, 2012 01:00 PM
As SSD capacity continues to increase and prices drop, use of SSD for enterprise Tier 1 applications is going to become more and more common. At the same time, enterprises are adopting scale-out architectures. It's an exciting time to be involved in enterprise storage.

IDC: SSDs Reshaping Enterprise Storage

January 13, 2012 10:30 AM
After significant growth in the solid state storage market in 2011 that brought the total value of shipments to $5 billion, research firm IDC is expecting continued big growth through 2015. Within the enterprise market, there is increasing use of SSDs, a trend the research company expects to continue as prices fall and performance increases.

Tablets And Desktop Virtualization

September 23, 2010 08:00 AM
Last month, I discussed how solid state storage's biggest area for growth may have nothing to do with enterprise storage, it may be the emerging tablet/slate market, based largely on the success of the Apple iPad. In that entry, I promised to cover what I think is going to be an even bigger winner if tablet adoption continues: desktop virtualization.

Solid "Slate" Storage

August 23, 2010 10:18 AM
In my last entry, I discussed how solid state storage could make its way into the enterprise. What is sometimes forgotten in that discussion is that the other markets solid state storage participates in potentially dwarf the enterprise market. One of the subjects made clear at the Flash Memory Summit was how big the market for smartphones and slates or tablets like the Apple iPad is going to become. Solid "slate" storage may end up dwarfing every other market that solid state storage participates in.

When Will Solid State Dominate? It's Not That Complicated

August 19, 2010 09:00 AM
Sitting at the very well attended Flash Memory Summit, by far the number one question being asked is "When will solid state storage dominate the market?" Is it really that complicated? SSD domination or at least acceptance, like all things in storage comes down to performance, reliability and price. While performance should be a clear winner for solid state storage there are issues to be addressed. The first is dealing with write performance.

Solid State Storage

September 08, 2006 04:00 AM
Solid state standard DRAM drives deliver performance and durability beyond anything available in Flash. But high prices and density barriers have prevented it from making an impact in the enterprise.
