Supermicro’s JumpStart program has established itself as one of the more useful tools in the pre-purchase evaluation toolkit for AI infrastructure. Rather than a scripted demo in a shared environment, JumpStart gives qualified users free, time-boxed, bare-metal access to real production servers via SSH, IPMI, and VNC, enabling them to run workloads on actual hardware.
The Dell PowerEdge R770AP is not a general-purpose server, and that is entirely the point. Where most 2U dual-socket platforms chase flexibility, the R770AP strips it away, trading GPU support, mixed storage options, and raw memory capacity for the highest core density, memory bandwidth, and execution determinism available in Dell’s current Intel lineup. It is
After publishing our article about Microsoft’s opt-in native NVMe feature on Windows Server 2025, we received multiple requests for a direct comparison of storage performance between Windows Server 2025 with native NVMe and a Linux-based server OS. One especially enthusiastic Redditor even offered us beer to do it! Since there were obviously no other reasonable options, we decided to
StorageReview has been testing enterprise storage and infrastructure hardware for over 25 years. During that time, we have reviewed petabytes of data across drives, dozens of all-flash arrays, countless switches, servers, and networking gear. We have benchmarked hardware that costs more than most people’s houses. What we have never done, not once, is properly label
The PowerEdge R5715 is the second part of Dell’s SMB-focused extension to the 17th Generation PowerEdge family, starting with different priorities than its 1U sibling. Where the R4715 optimizes for compute density and core-per-rack-unit efficiency, the R5715 is built around storage capacity and I/O expandability in a 2U single-socket footprint. Readers coming from our R4715
Dell’s 17th Generation PowerEdge family is already well-established, and with the R4715 and R5715, the lineup now targets the SMB and midmarket segments more intentionally than before. Both servers are single-socket platforms built on the same 5th Generation AMD EPYC foundation as the broader 17th Gen family. They are tuned for organizations where right-sized core
Ubiquiti is expanding its edge-processing hardware lineup with the AI Dome (UVC-AI-Dome-B). The standard G-series cameras cover most general UniFi Protect deployments just fine. Still, the AI Dome targets environments that need local metadata processing without sacrificing image quality or build quality. Most notably, it handles face and license plate recognition on-device, bringing Pro-tier capabilities
Ubiquiti is adding a compelling new option to its UniFi Protect camera lineup with the G6 Pro 360 (UVC-G6-Pro-360). Rather than covering a specific zone or doorway like a standard dome camera, the G6 Pro 360 takes a fundamentally different approach by capturing the entire scene in a single 360-degree field of view. Most notably,
For the first time, end-to-end, hardware-based in-flight encryption is available across the entire Fibre Channel data path—from server to storage array. Everpure (formerly Pure Storage) is now shipping Fibre Channel-capable FlashArray systems with Emulex SecureHBA technology integrated directly into the array, completing the encrypted transport path the industry has been working toward. Future FlashArray models
As surveillance systems, enterprise WiFi deployments, and IoT infrastructure continue to evolve, network bandwidth demands are steadily increasing. Devices such as high-resolution security cameras, WiFi 7 access points, and industrial IoT sensors frequently require multi-gigabit connectivity and reliable power delivery. The UniFi Switch Flex 2.5G 8 PoE (USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE), available for $199.00 on the Ubiquiti Store,
