Today, Spin Memory announced a new RAM (Random-Access Memory) production technology that improves memory density (and thus capacity) by at least 20%. The company claims that some chips designs can embed up to five times more memory in the same area footprint with minimal additional wafer processing costs by adopting their new technology. Spin Memory
Today WekaIO and Destiny Corporation announced that they have published a reference design that is capable of delivering 5X runtime and wall clock time improvements for SAS analytics long running jobs. Not only is the new solution aimed at performance but it is said to provide good storage economics as well. This solution is available
This week’s News Bits we look at a number of small announcements, small in terms of the content, not the impact they have. Ivanti integrates Ivanti Neurons Platform with Splunk Security Operations Suite. Unisys enhances CloudForte. Microchip introduces new 8-Channel SSD controller. Quantum ActiveScale software verified as Veeam Ready. Actifio Supports New Oracle VMware Solution.
Today Panasas announced the launch a new version of its parallel file system, PanFS. The new system has Dynamic Data Acceleration, which is said to support workflows in HPC and AI. The new system is said to deliver high performance by automatically adapting to the changing and evolving small file and mixed workloads.
VMware recently added NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF) as a storage network protocol option in vSphere 7.0. The fact that the fastest shared-storage solution is now able to be used by the world’s most popular virtualization software is a game changer, opening a whole new set of use cases for a virtualized data center. This also
Today NetApp announced that its Azure NetApp Files is available in the government region data centers on Microsoft Azure. This means all of the benefits and savings of the service can now be leveraged by federal, Department of Defense, and state and local agencies that have strict government security and regulatory compliance requirements.

Today at the first Supermicro Storage Summit, Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) unveiled two new top-loading storage systems. The new Supermicro top-loading storage systems have either 60- and/or 90-bays, SSG-6049SP-DE1CR60 and SSG-6049SP-DE1CR90. These new systems will act as expansion for cloud-scale storage implementations as well as HPC storage applications.
In recent years, we continue to experience how storage performance is getting faster, which has been challenging the old storage protocols that have become a bottleneck for data centers. Despite using the latest fabric speed of 100GbE and new networking standards, such as InfiniBand, those slow network protocol technologies restrain flash device’s performance, keep it
