Reading Time-approximately: < 1 minuteBy Tekmart Data Center Team The Dell EMC Unity™ All-Flash product line sets new standards for storage with compelling simplicity, modern design, flexible deployments and affordable prices– to meet the needs of resource-constrained IT professionals in large or small companies. Architecture Based on the powerful new family of Intel E5-2600 processors, Dell EMC’s Unity All Flash storage systems implement an
Reading Time-approximately: 3 minutesHere’s what you need to know to pick the NVMe array that provides your organization with the performance improvement it needs and also fits its budget. By George Crump When selecting your first NVMe storage array, it’s important to understand the four basic implementation options to get the system that best meets your enterprise’s performance needs and budget. 1. SAS
Reading Time-approximately: 7 minutesAn all-flash array (AFA), also known as a solid-state storage disk system or a solid-state array, is an external storage array that uses only flash media for persistent storage. By Garry Kranz and Brien Posey Flash memory is used in place of the spinning hard disk drives (HDDs) that have long been associated with networked storage systems. Vendors that sell all-flash arrays usually
Reading Time-approximately: 5 minutesIBM introduces new consumption-based Storage as a Service for FlashSystem based on performance, capacity and contract term; and adds Safeguarded Copy to guard against cyberattacks. By Carol Sliwa and Johnny Yu IBM turned its FlashSystem focus to two hot areas in enterprise storage with new as-a-service options that let customers add on-premises infrastructure the way they do in the public
Reading Time-approximately: 22 minutesMany capabilities have been built into NVMe technology, including enhancing error reporting, logging, management, debug, and telemetry. Here are insights on how you can manage the status and health of NVMe SSDs (like notifying users when an SSD failure occurs). By Jonmichael Hands (and for your convenience below the verbatim presentation , … word for word) 00:03 Speaker 1: Hey, guys,
Reading Time-approximately: 2 minutesUnderstand how to use NVMe built-in power management features to conserve energy, manage heat and, in the case of mobile devices, extend operating times. By John Edwards Fast, reliable NVMe SSDs have revolutionized data storage. There’s a downside to NVMe SSD technology, however: high power consumption. Fortunately, the NVMe specification offers numerous power management features. Here’s what you need to know. Why
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesFind out about the read-intensive applications that work best with QLC NAND. Analytics, data archiving, streaming media and database workloads are all good options. By Robert Sheldon Storage vendors are constantly trying to pack more data into their NAND flash drives, often by increasing the number of bits per cell. NAND started out with one bit per cell, moved to
Reading Time-approximately: 2 minutesWe thought flash would end at QLC, but storage media makers are working on penta-level cell, which could push capacity to double figures, but at a further performance cost. By Antony Adshead When QLC flash storage drives arrived in the market last year, it looked like the storage media makers had pushed the manufacturing process as far as it could go. But now, Intel
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesQLC flash brings high capacities at costs coming down close to spinning disk. So what are the use cases for QLC solid state, which make best use of its relatively low endurance. By Maxwell Cooter We are truly entering the flash era. Four or five years ago, the market for flash storage was arguably still emerging, but since then solid state has
Reading Time-approximately: 5 minutesQLC flash storage is exerting pressure on spinning disk for mass storage and archiving use cases — but HDDs will stick around for years if not decades, industry experts predict. By Carol Sliwa Solid-state drives that use dense QLC NAND are becoming an intriguing alternative to spinning disk because they can reduce costs over flash options that store fewer bits
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.
