Exposing the Pure Storage Cost of //C
Recently, Pure Storage announced its intention to deliver a version of their QLC only All-Flash Array (AFA), FlashArray//C (//C), for under $0.50 GB. When Pure briefed the leading storage industry observer, Chris Mellor, he takes the logical next step and calculates what Pure Storage’s claim…
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…
How to Reduce the Cost of Storage Operations
Storage managers have always been pressured to do more with less. That pressure intensifies as the volume of data explodes, as the number of performance-hungry workloads grows, and as faster-performing but also more expensive storage technologies such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and non-volatile memory express drives (NVMe) enter the equation. Delivering the throughput, processing power,…
How to Reduce the Cost of Performance Storage
The advent of solid-state disk (SSD) media and non-volatile memory express (NVMe) protocols makes storage cost optimization more important than ever before. SSDs offer more capacity per unit than hard disk drives (HDDs), and they continue to become denser as the technology matures. Meanwhile, NVMe delivers faster performance and lower latency to this media, and…
Why Does IT Buy New Storage?
Storage environments have been historically siloed Infrastructure is dedicated specifically for production, backup and archive use cases, and each environment or workload often receives its own dedicated storage infrastructure. This fragmentation is becoming exacerbated as hyperconverged infrastructure, cloud storage services, and a new tier of performance-hungry workloads enter the equation. Quickly, IT organizations are faced…
What Are Your Storage Priorities?
The Storage Utilization Challenge Today’s information era places a premium on storage performance and capacity while further squeezing budgets. Data is growing at an exponential rate, and businesses are turning to artificial intelligence, machine learning and analytics workloads in a meaningful way to harness this information for new advantages. Meanwhile, these business requirements necessitate faster…
