Wouldn’t the National information exchange be better served by deferring the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) and instead implementing some sort of Google-like search of federal, state, and municipal text data records. Most federal, state and local data resides in sophisticated databases using their information management tools but such tools all seem to support ways [...]
Yesterday, twitterland was buzzing about EMC’s latest enhancement to their Atmos Cloud Storage platform called GeoProtect. This new capability improves cloud data protection by supporting erasure code data protection rather than just pure object replication.
Erasure coding has been used for over a decade in storage and some of the common algorithms are Reed-Solomon, Cauchy Reed-Soloman, [...]
One astute reader of our performance reports pointed out that some ESRP results could be skewed by the number of drives that are used during a run. So, we included a database transfers per spindle chart in our latest Exchange Solution Review Program (ESRP) report on 1001 to 5000 mailboxes in our latest newsletter. The chart [...]
Yesterday in Colorado Springs SNIA held a grand opening for their new Technology Center. They have moved their tech center about a half mile closer to Pikes Peak.
The new center has less data center floor space than the old one but according to Wayne Adams/EMC and Chairman of SNIA Board, this is a better fit [...]
There are also bargains for IT organizations looking to take advantage of special vendor promotions trying to stimulate sales, not to mention for IT vendors to do some shopping of their own. 
That’s what CERN produces from their 6 experiments each year. How this data is subsequently accessed and replicated around the world is an interesting tale in multi-tier data grids.
When an experiment is run at CERN, the data is captured locally in what’s called Tier 0. After some initial processing, this data is stored on tape [...]
Different tools are needed for addressing various types of snow from wet and heavy to light powdery or dustings to deep downfalls. Likewise, there are different types of servers, storage, data networks along with operating systems, management tools and even hyper visors to deal with various application needs or requirements.
Intel-Micron Flash Technologies just issued another increase in NAND density. This one’s manages to put 8GB on a single chip with MLC(2) technology in a 167mm square package or roughly a half inch per side.
You may recall that Intel-Micron Flash Technologies (IMFT) is a joint venture between Intel and Micron to develop NAND technology [...]
