As several of our news stories and one review have pointed out earlier today, Intel has released a new “tick” processor the Xeon E5-2600 v4 Broadwell product family. As with all new processor releases, this one centers around increased performance and efficiency. The performance increase is designed to affect a wide range of workloads and,
Today Lenovo announced new servers, software, and solutions all aimed at accelerated performance, simplified management, and a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). These new products will feature the newly released Intel Xeon series processors. Using the new processors Lenovo was able to achieve 6 performance world records including world record for x86 two-processor virtualized
A few days ago Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced their new Persistent Memory (a combination of DRAM and NAND in a DIMM format). Today they are announcing their new compute platforms that have built-in support for their new Persistent Memory. On top of these new platforms, HPE is also announcing new ProLiant Gen9 server options
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced what they are calling the first non-volatile DIMMs (NVDIMMs). HPE is calling this new product category Persistent Memory. They went on to state that their Persistent Memory gives the performance of memory with the persistence of storage and could potentially open up several new opportunities.
Today EMC announce the release of the latest version of ScaleIO, version 2.0. This is a milestone for EMC and for ScaleIO software that runs on commodity hardware. The new ScaleIO comes with several new features but the update focuses on three key aspects enriched security, enhanced resiliency, and extended platform support.
Today SanDisk, Corp and Red Hat, Inc. announced they would be forming a strategic alliance to bring the combined benefits of Ceph and flash storage to enterprise customers. The two companies aim to deliver this by pairing SanDisk’s InfiniFlash flash storage system with Red Hat Ceph Storage. According to both companies, this combined solution will
Today the LTO Program Technology Provider Companies (TPCs) (including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, and Quantum) released shipment data and a new report detailing tape media shipments. The data shows that 76,000PB of compressed capacity shipped in 2015 (up 17.8% from the previous year). The new report being launched shows both 2015 and year-over-year generational data. LTO
Today Seagate Technology and Los Alamos National Laboratory (Los Alamos) announced that they were jointly working on a new archive storage tier for supercomputing data.
