Read a couple of stories this past week or so on securely erasing data but the one that caught my eye was about RunCore and their InVincible SSD. It seems they have produced a new SSD drive with internal circuitry/mechanisms … Continue reading →
There is still a place for traditional storage arrays or appliances particular those with extensive features, functionality and reliability availability serviceability (RAS). In other words, there is still a place for large (and small) storage arrays or appliances including those with SSDs.
It’s pretty easy to pick holes in the current legacy storage products, especially when it comes to integration within both public and private cloud deployments. However it’s worth discussing exactly what is required when implementing cloud frameworks, as the way in which storage is deployed is radically different from the traditional model of storage operations.

It’s been an interesting day of contrasts in the world of storage, one that shows storage is a diverse and wide ranging segment of IT. The Old Tape has been part of the discussion on the twitterverse and despite everyone’s best attempts, is not dead yet. Tape and backup may not be seen as cool [...]
I was at the Solid State Storage Symposium a couple of weeks ago where Robin Harris (StorageMojo) gave the keynote presentation. In his talk, Robin mentioned a new technology on the horizon which holds the promise of replacing DRAM, SRAM … Continue reading →
Wow, $430M for a $25M startup that’s been around since 2009 and hasn’t generated any revenue yet. It probably compares well against Facebook’s recent $1B acquisition of Instagram but still it seems a bit much. It certainly signals a significant … Continue reading →
One of the worst kept secrets in the storage world is finally out. EMC are acquiring XtremIO for a reported $430 million, as documented in a previous post. The EMC press release talks about XtremIO as “one of the world’s widely regarded Flash storage architecture pioneers”, yet they have [...]
Scientists report (see AAAS report, Wired article or actual research) that they are now able to refract or focus gamma rays. Contrary to theory, they have discovered that gamma rays can be deflected by the nucleus of a silicon atom. Down a bit … Continue reading →
Read a couple of articles this week about the rise of mobile computing. About a decade ago I was at a conference where one of the keynotes was on the inevitability of ubiquitous computing or everywhere computing. I believe now … Continue reading →
For some time now I have been using OPS/drive to measure storage system disk drive efficiency but have so far failed to come up with anything similar for flash or SSD use. The problem with flash in storage is that … Continue reading →
As part of last week’s Storage Field Day event, at the Solid State Storage Symposium I moderated a panel entitled “Solid State – Simply a big cache or a real storage tier?” The full brief was as follows: Solid state disks blur the boundary between cache and storage, with a foot in both [...]
This is the second of a two part post in the ongoing experinces of using HHDDs and SSDs in my every day work activity or walking the talk.
Held a Storage Field Day briefing yesterday with Coraid, the creators of EtherDrive an all Ethernet SAN storage system. The advantages of EtherDrive are significant. Not the least of which is that it is very cheap storage. It scales independently … Continue reading →
This week I managed to fit in two podcasts. First was episode 5 of Speaking in Tech with Greg Knieriemen and co. Second was the first of a new series of podcasts from Violin Memory, which I recorded while in California for Tech Field Day. You can find both podcasts from the links below. Enjoy! [...]
This week Hitachi launched their entry into the Unified storage array marketplace (press release). Hitachi Unified Storage (or HUS) as it will be known, takes AMS2xxx arrays and BlueArc NAS gateway/heads, combining them together to produce a unified platform. We’ll come back to Hitachi in a later post, but in the meantime, I [...]
When last we discussed inter-planetary commerce the concept was that funding space-faring outposts of humanity could somehow be accomplished using commercial endeavors rather than public funding. The assumption being that any other life bearing planet would have have it’s own … Continue reading →
