Wasabi Technologies has reached a definitive agreement to acquire the Lyve Cloud business from Seagate Technology. As part of the transaction, Seagate will receive an equity stake in Wasabi, officially becoming a shareholder. While specific financial details remain undisclosed, the move marks a significant consolidation in the pure-play cloud storage market. David Friend, co-founder and

Supermicro has introduced three new compact edge computing systems based on AMD’s EPYC 4005 series processors, expanding its push into AI workloads beyond the traditional data center. The new lineup includes the AS-E300-14GR, AS-1116R-FN4, and AS-3015TR-i4. The systems are designed for deployments where space is tight, power is limited, and dedicated IT support may not

Ubiquiti’s G6 Turret is a 4K PoE camera with a turret design, featuring on-device face and license plate recognition and full UniFi Protect integration, all at a $199 price point. The turret design sets it apart from traditional domes by placing the lens module in a ball-and-socket housing. You can physically adjust the module on

Supermicro’s JumpStart program has established itself as one of the more useful tools in the pre-purchase evaluation toolkit for AI infrastructure. Rather than a scripted demo in a shared environment, JumpStart gives qualified users free, time-boxed, bare-metal access to real production servers via SSH, IPMI, and VNC, enabling them to run workloads on actual hardware.

While hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has simplified virtualization via streamlined deployments and reduced operational overhead, traditional architectures often struggle with asymmetric scaling. This is particularly evident when storage requirements for large unstructured datasets outpace compute needs, forcing IT teams into inefficient and costly node expansions. To address this imbalance, Scale Computing and Nexsan have introduced a

The Dell PowerEdge R770AP is not a general-purpose server, and that is entirely the point. Where most 2U dual-socket platforms chase flexibility, the R770AP strips it away, trading GPU support, mixed storage options, and raw memory capacity for the highest core density, memory bandwidth, and execution determinism available in Dell’s current Intel lineup. It is

At the Nutanix .NEXT Conference in Chicago, Nutanix and NetApp announced a strategic partnership to integrate NetApp Intelligent Data Infrastructure with the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP), including support for the Nutanix AHV hypervisor. The integration is expected later this year and targets enterprises looking to align virtualization and data management strategies across on-premises, hybrid cloud,

After publishing our article about Microsoft’s opt-in native NVMe feature on Windows Server 2025, we received multiple requests for a direct comparison of storage performance between Windows Server 2025 with native NVMe and a Linux-based server OS. One especially enthusiastic Redditor even offered us beer to do it! Since there were obviously no other reasonable options, we decided to

Backblaze has published its Q1 2026 Performance Stats report, a quarterly series comparing cloud storage performance across Backblaze B2, AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, and Wasabi Object Storage. The report covers testing in US-East and EU-Central and includes both the results and the methodology used, with the stated goal of letting others review, reproduce, and compare
