Storage refreshes usually come in two flavors. There’s the quiet uplift, where a vendor rolls in a new CPU, claims a few percentage points of performance, and ships the same chassis with a different sticker. And then there’s the generational reset, where the chassis, drives, interconnect, cache architecture, and management plane all move at once.
Dell Technologies has introduced a broad infrastructure refresh spanning storage, servers, cyber resilience, and private cloud automation, positioning the portfolio around a common enterprise problem: modern AI and high-performance workloads are scaling faster than many existing data centers were built to support. The announcement combines a new flagship PowerStore platform, a sizable PowerEdge server update,
Backup and recovery infrastructure has always been the part of the data center that gets the most attention when something goes wrong, but that pattern has shifted. Ransomware has made backup the last line of defense rather than an insurance policy, and the operational expectations have shifted accordingly. Recovery times that were acceptable five years
Infrastructure for cyber resilience occupies a position in the enterprise stack that primary storage does not. When a system fails, data becomes corrupted, or ransomware locks an organization out of its environment, recovery ultimately depends on the backup platform. That reality has sustained strong demand for purpose-built backup appliances even as cloud-based alternatives have expanded.
Kicking off Dell Technologies World, Dell announced an expansion of the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. This broad update targets a familiar enterprise problem: moving AI projects from pilot to production. Across three related announcements, Dell is introducing new local agentic AI systems, expanding its AI data and infrastructure stack, and widening its partner ecosystem.
At Dell Technologies World, Dell announced an expanded partnership with Samsung Electronics to support AI-driven semiconductor manufacturing, with Dell AI infrastructure deployed across Samsung’s research, chip design, and production-critical environments. The collaboration aims to help Samsung apply AI more broadly across fab operations as semiconductor production becomes increasingly dependent on real-time analytics, digital twins, and
At VeeamON 2026 in New York City, Veeam Software announced Veeam Intelligent ResOps, a new resilience capability designed to unify data context with recovery operations. The offering targets environments where AI-driven activity and automation are accelerating change across enterprise data, requiring more precise visibility and response than traditional backup workflows provide. Intelligent ResOps is the
Last week, we had the opportunity to attend NerdioCon, held May 4–6, 2026, at the La Quinta Resort & Club in Palm Springs. The conference focused on Nerdio’s products and other cloud technologies, specifically Microsoft Azure, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), and Intune. It had keynotes, technical labs, and networking for IT leaders and MSPs. The
There are two stories in the Dell Pro Max 16 Plus, and they pull in opposite directions. One is a top-tier mobile workstation: Intel’s 24-core Core Ultra 9 285HX, up to 256GB of CAMM2 memory, three M.2 slots, NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell graphics up to the 5000-series with 24GB of GDDR7, MIL-STD-810H build, and a
NetApp announced a set of data management updates for Red Hat OpenShift to improve backup predictability, disaster recovery, and operational scalability across on-premises and cloud-based virtualized environments. The release focuses on OpenShift Virtualization deployments, where growing VM counts and larger datasets can make traditional full-disk backup approaches increasingly inefficient. The announcement addresses a practical challenge
