Windows is great for a lot of things, there’s a reason it’s the number one operating system in the world. That said, it’s not perfect, especially when it comes to embracing new storage standards. As such, there’s a tremendous opportunity for enterprising companies to develop solutions for Windows shops. As NVMe SSDs continue to dominate
We’ve worked with DataON a good deal in the past around their Azure Stack HCI offerings. They’ve done some great work with their Intel platforms and they’ve been able to take advantage of the entire ecosystem, including Intel servers, Optane storage, TLC SSDs, and even QLC SSDs for a low-cost data tier. Now, with new
We’ve been talking a lot about E1.S (ruler) SSDs lately. The last podcast covered ruler, we even transcribed key findings from that conversation in a ruler deep dive. Now, we’ve got a box of E1.S SSDs in from SK hynix, that leverage the popular 15mm z-height standard. Having the flash is fun and all, but
Dell Technologies has released a number of new updates today, building on their popular scale-out NAS platform.
