Reading Time-approximately: 3 minutesOrganizations considering a move to on-site power generation should weigh drawbacks — such as cost — against benefits, including sustainability and increased control over power. By Jacob Roundy Data centers that generate their own power on site can enjoy benefits such as increased energy efficiency and maximized uptime. Although cost and resource availability present barriers to success, you should consider
Reading Time-approximately: 2 minutesScale-out storage is a network-attached storage (NAS) architecture in which the total amount of disk space can be expanded through the addition of devices in connected arrays with their own resources. By TechTarget Contributor In a scale-out system, new hardware can be added and configured as the need arises. When a scale-out system reaches its storage limit, another array can be added to expand the system
Reading Time-approximately: 3 minutesLearn the differences between the main modes of multiprocessing: SMP, AMP and MPP. Each has a distinct use case that makes it suited for different data centers and organizations. By Jacob Roundy A symmetric multiprocessing system contains multiple processors that share the same memory and operate under a single OS. This architecture enables each processor to work on any task
Reading Time-approximately: 5 minutesEnterprises that need high-performance storage for AI and ML workloads can keep an eye out for new products based on the latest PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0 specifications. By Carol Sliwa Enterprise buyers in need of higher performance storage might want to start checking with vendors about their plans to support PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0 technologies. The NVM Express
Reading Time-approximately: 6 minutesChoosing between the two hypervisor types largely depends on whether IT administrators oversee an enterprise data center or client-facing, end-user systems. ByStephen J. Bigelow and Brian Kirsch The main difference between Type 1 vs. Type 2 hypervisors is that Type 1 runs on bare metal and Type 2 runs on top of an operating system. Each hypervisor type also has

Server virtualization also masks server resources, including the number and identity of individual physical servers, processors and operating systems. By Stephen J. Bigelow and Alexander S. Gillis Server virtualization is a process that creates and abstracts multiple virtual instances on a single server. Server
Reading Time-approximately: < 1 minuteSDRAM (synchronous DRAM) is a generic name for various kinds of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) that are synchronized with the clock speed that the microprocessor is optimized for. By TechTarget Contributor This tends to increase the number of instructions that the processor can perform in a given time. The speed of SDRAM is rated in MHz rather than in nanoseconds (ns). This makes
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesA disaster recovery plan may seem like an unnecessary expense to some businesses, but a lack of preparation will cost you. By Stuart Burns Some organizations question how much to invest in a disaster recovery plan. They’re reluctant to allocate significant budget and staff to systems they’ll need in the face of a disaster that may, or may not, occur.
Reading Time-approximately: 5 minutesExplore the various ways NVMe technology vendors are preparing the way for organizations to transition to storage class memory in their computing environments. By Marc Staimer NVMe has taken hold in the enterprise, driven by high-performance-demanding applications, such as AI, machine learning and analytics, and their need for high-speed, low-latency access to storage media. Now, storage class memory is making inroads,
What is COVID-19?
On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, China. ‘Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2’ (SARS-CoV-2) was confirmed as the causative agent of what we now know as ‘Coronavirus Disease 2019’ (COVID-19). Since then, the virus has spread to more than 100 countries, including South Africa.
