This checklist outlines the differences between different types of flash storage and what to look for when considering an all flash array.

Active Data Archiving moves inactive data to low-cost storage while keeping it searchable and accessible. It cuts costs, reduces backup windows, and ensures compliance with rules like GDPR. By transforming unstructured data into a searchable asset, it saves time, improves decision-making, and boosts efficiency.

Seagate EXOS X is an enterprise class storage array that can scale and deliver the capacity, performance and features.  It easily supports additional storage trays supporting a mixture of SSD and hard disks to deliver massive storage capacity for future applications.  Its fully redundant design has dual controllers, power supplies fans and hot swap drives.  […]

Edge servers bring computing power closer to where it’s needed, solving connectivity and cooling challenges that traditional data centre servers can’t. The Lenovo SE350 Edge Server is compact, rugged, secure, and built for remote offices, field sites, and mission-critical workloads. From video surveillance to branch connectivity, it’s redefining what a remote server can do.

The NetApp AFF FAS A-Series is the world’s fastest enterprise all-flash array, delivering ultra-low latency under 200 microseconds and up to 11.4 million IOPS. Powered by end-to-end NVMe and ONTAP software, it combines speed, resilience, and advanced data management. With unmatched cloud integration, it’s built to power AI, analytics, and mission-critical workloads.

In the realm of data storage, all flash storage has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionising the performance and efficiency of storage systems. By leveraging solid-state drive (SSD) technology, all flash solutions offer unparalleled speed, reliability, and scalability. In this article, we will explore the benefits and features of all flash, highlighting its impact on data-intensive […]

All Flash NVMe storage delivers the fastest performance available up to 53x faster than hard disks and far beyond standard SSDs. By connecting flash directly to the CPU via PCIe, NVMe removes bottlenecks caused by controllers, unlocking massive speed and scalability. With NVMe, PCIe 4.0, and next-gen memory on the horizon, it’s the future of […]

A hypervisor, or virtual machine monitor (VMM), is software, hardware or firmware and is used to create and run virtual machines (VMs). A Hypervisor or host server are the systems responsible for managing the physical resources (e.g., CPU, memory, disk space, network bandwidth) on which virtual machines run. The resources are carved up virtually to […]

Recently I've completed extensive IBM training on their portfolio of products. I am particularly interested in their IBM FlashSystems that in my opinion provide greater resiliency capacity reliability and performance than any other vendors product on the market today.
