JBOF Just a Bunch of Flash is one of the more misunderstood components in modern storage architecture. It is often compared directly to traditional storage arrays, but that comparison misses the point. JBOF is not designed to replace an array in the conventional sense. It is designed to remove the constraints that arrays introduce.
NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) is often introduced as a faster way to access storage. That explanation is technically correct, but it misses the real point. NVMe-oF is not simply about improving speed it is about changing where performance can exist within an infrastructure.
QNAP Systems, Inc. has been recognised for its innovation in data protection and hybrid cloud backup, with myQNAPcloud One receiving the 2025 Backup and Disaster Recovery Award from Cloud Computing Magazine, published by TMC.

Introduction to NVR and its importance in CCTV systems In an age where security is paramount, having a reliable method to store and review your CCTV footage is crucial. Enter the Network Video Recorder (NVR), the unsung hero of modern surveillance systems. These powerful devices play a vital role in ensuring that you have access […]
Performance, Cyber Resilience & What It Actually Changes for Enterprise Storage. This is not a product announcement. This is our view as an IBM Silver Partner on what FlashCore Module 5 (FCM5) inside IBM FlashSystem actually changes, where it fits, and where it does not.
As generative AI adoption accelerates, executive teams face an increasingly complex mandate: drive innovation at speed while protecting intellectual property, regulatory compliance, and organisational trust. This video explores why on-premise private GPT is emerging as a strategic infrastructure decision rather than a tactical AI experiment..
The term is widely adopted across the industry. The question is whether it represents genuine operational change or simply rebranded automation. From our perspective as an IBM Silver Partner, the answer depends entirely on how it is applied.
Learn how an on-premise active tape archive could save you money especially considering the increasing price rises and excessively long lead times for all types of data storage.
In our previous articles, we explored what FlashCore Module 5 introduces inside IBM FlashSystem from hardware-level cyber resilience to architectural positioning. Now we address the headline figure: Up to 2.4x higher read performance. The number is compelling. The question is whether it is relevant to your workload.
In our previous article, we examined what IBM FlashCore Module 5 changes from a performance and architectural perspective inside IBM FlashSystem. The more strategic shift, however, is not just about read performance. It is about where cyber resilience lives. For years, organisations have treated security as a software-layer responsibility. Firewalls, EDR, immutable backups, behavioural analytics […]
