The combination is intended to
IBM has launched its next-generation IBM FlashSystem portfolio, making it an autonomous storage layer powered by agentic AI. This new version builds on FlashSystem’s existing AI features. IBM is improving resilience and automating operations. It offers ongoing protection, automated threat analysis, and personalized recovery advice. IBM claims this method can cut manual storage management tasks
TrueNAS has launched the R60, a storage platform created to address traditional capacity limits. The R60 features a high-density NVMe design built for AI, HPC, and analytics I/O profiles. Packaged in a 1U platform, the R60 is designed to deliver consistent throughput and operational reliability in compute-intensive environments without compromising data control, cost, or long-term
VDURA has introduced a new “Flash Relief Program” for organizations facing sharp NAND-driven price volatility and constrained SSD supply. The company positions the offer as a direct response to escalating all-flash platform costs and extended lead times, particularly for high-capacity SSDs used in AI and high-performance file system deployments.

VAST Data introduced VAST Amplify, a capacity-optimization and customer-engagement program designed to help enterprises and service providers increase effective flash capacity by leveraging SSDs already deployed in their environments. Positioned for a market where storage lead times and allocation windows are tightening, the program focuses on identifying underutilized flash and rapidly qualifying existing hardware for
Since we first brought the QLC-based PowerStore 3200Q with PowerStoreOS 4.0 into the lab, Dell hasn’t slowed down. The company has expanded the lineup with the PowerStore 5200Q—a higher-performance, cost-optimized model built for a broader range of production workloads. At the same time, three major software releases (PowerStoreOS 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3) have added meaningful capabilities across the platform,
Modern enterprises depend on data-intensive applications and distributed users, which makes infrastructure placement a strategic decision. Where data resides, whether on premises, colocation, public cloud, or across all three, has a direct impact on performance, cost, security, and governance. Deploying Dell PowerStore and PowerFlex inside or adjacent to Equinix Cloud-Connected Data Centers gives organizations precise
If you follow StorageReview regularly, you know that we push storage hardware hard. Across our lab, we test everything from consumer SSDs to massive enterprise systems. For any product that relies on flash storage, there’s a critical but unglamorous step we always perform before benchmarking: preconditioning. Preconditioning is the process of preparing a drive so
