Striking a Balance with HPC Environments
Users are increasingly prioritizing High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications, which in turn intensifies the demand for storage solutions that are not only high in performance but also scalable and efficient, tailor-made to support these sophisticated HPC scenarios. Industry forecasts by Emergen Research project that investment in…
How Do You KNOW All-Flash Is Right For You?
As an IT planner, every so often, you might wonder how a particular workload might perform on an all-flash array instead of the current hard disk-based or hybrid storage system. The problem is how to know if, or how much of a performance difference, that all-flash array might make. Sure, you can look at vendor performance…
Simplified Enterprise Storage from Oracle and StorONE
StorONE and Oracle announced a more efficient, future-ready solution architecture and technology which allows companies to better utilize their IT resources, increase efficiency via application and storage tiering. The cloud computing technology has been powering the IT transformation for more than a decade now. We have seen major change in the way applications adapt to…
S1 as a Service – A Better Cloud, On-Premises
We are excited to announce the launch of StorONE Storage as a Service (S1aaS), built on the disruptive StorONE Storage Software Platform. We developed S1aaS in response to our customers who asked us for a way to get the monthly pricing structure of the cloud, the performance and safety of on-site storage and the ease of management and expansion of the StorONE Storage Software Platform. With S1aaS, you get an enterprise-class storage…
Software: The Solution to Your Storage Headaches
Today’s storage market faces a similar problem to what Tesla solved for the automotive industry. To save on gas and to reduce the impact on the environment, many consumers want to “go green” with an electric car. Electric cars are clearly ideal, but before Tesla, automobile manufacturers struggled to produce quality electric cars because they…
Rethinking Snapshots to Accelerate Performance
Previously, we discussed the challenges inherent in providing the strong levels of data protection that are required today. Specifically, outdated storage architectures require application performance to be sacrificed and budgets to be exceeded, in order to obtain acceptable levels of data protection and resiliency. Of data protection capabilities, snapshots are the most CPU and memory-intensive,…
How to Bypass the Compromises of Legacy RAID Architectures
Traditional storage architectures force the IT professional to sacrifice either on cost or on performance, in order to obtain data protection services such as snapshots and erasure coding. This is no longer acceptable in a business environment that increasingly does not tolerate compromise on data integrity or on application performance, and that requires maximum levels of utilization of hardware resources….
Volume Level Erasure Coding to Avoid Storage Tradeoffs
We previously explored the tradeoffs that traditional storage snapshots require in terms of cost and performance, and how StorOne has written its snapshot algorithms to avoid forcing customers to choose between obtaining snapshots, or delivering on required levels of performance, and staying within the budget. In this blog, we will evaluate a similar problem that erasure coding…
StorONE Unified Virtual Appliance with Seagate Drives Ideal for I/O-Intensive Environments
NEW YORK – June 25, 2019 – StorONE today announced record speeds using Seagate SSD drives and StorONE’s TRU™ S1 Software Defined Storage solution. In recent performance testing, StorONE combined its software with Seagate’s enterprise-class SSDs in a virtual appliance configuration that reached a breakthrough half a million IOPS with 24 Seagate SSDs and all enterprise-class data…
Data Integrity: The Backbone of Competitive Advantage
Data is the foundation of business advantage in today’s economy. Analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are helping businesses to uncover new competitive opportunities and to operate in a more efficient and streamlined fashion. At the same time, requirements for data privacy are higher than ever before, because consumers are becoming more discerning about how their…
Innovation Over Integration Yields Unprecedented Storage Efficiency
We live in an age of tremendous storage hardware innovation. Solid-state drives (SSDs) that are capable of delivering more than 100,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS) in raw performance have hit the market. The reality, though, is that customers are not getting the full benefits of these innovations. They are only able to obtain a…
