Almost two years ago, we completed a review of a Viking Enterprise Solutions (VES) storage server with 24 NVMe bays and twin compute nodes in a 2U chassis. VES is a major OEM, creating some of the most innovative storage server systems in the market. Recently we had the opportunity to get hands-on with a
Verge.io was borne from YottaByte, founded in 2010 as a replacement for on-premises infrastructure. Eventually, YottaByte rebranded to Verge.io to deliver software-defined data center solutions running on commodity hardware, providing server virtualization for integrated storage, networking, and compute.
The DapuStor R5100 is part of the company’s R5 Series line of enterprise-grade PCIe Gen4 SSDs, which are purpose-built for core data storage scenarios in fields like enterprise IT, logistics, Internet, finance, intelligent manufacturing, and AI. Powered by the DapuStor DPU600 controller firmware and KIOXIA’s latest 3D enterprise 112L TLC NAND, the DapuStor SSD features
Continuing on with our WD Gold 22TB SMB performance series, we will look at how these enterprise-grade drives fare when populated inside the QNAP TVS-h1288X. In our last review, we were impressed with the results when combining the 22TB WD drives with the Synology DiskStation DS1821+. Configurations like these will certainly give businesses more flexibility
Recently we wrote a piece (and created a video) highlighting the ease of deployment of Scale Computing’s tiny HCI cluster. The three-node cluster is very simple to set up, making it a favorite for edge use cases like retail. But we got to thinking, what about using these nodes at an edge that’s a little
Back in August, we reviewed the WD Gold 22TB CMR HDD, which was highlighted by OptiNAND-enabled ArmorCache technology. We previously tested the Golds via our 36-bay Supermicro Storage SuperServer (SSG-540P-E1CTR36H) with TrueNAS installed (RAID2Z); however, we wanted to gauge the performance (and value) of the 22TB Golds when used in an SMB environment. For this
In this review, we are taking a look at one of QNAP’s recent new additions to their portfolio of video conferencing business devices, the KoiBox-100W. The KoiBox-100W is a specially designed device for creating an easy and convenient way to hold video conferences. Leveraging the KoiMeeter Operating System, the KoiBox is able to support 4K
Netgear has added a new, multi-gigabit PoE++ unmanaged switch to its lineup of networking products that can be an excellent, low-cost choice for many business environments. The Netgear MS108UP Ultra60 Multi-Gigabit PoE++ Unmanaged Switch provides power and networking for up to 60W of power at 2.5G of network bandwidth.
Initially announced back in May, the WD Gold 22TB is the company’s newest CMR HDD with OptiNAND technology. This massive capacity model is specifically designed to lower TCO for organizations, as they can add more capacity to their data centers without affecting the physical footprint (or have the same capacity at a lower physical footprint).
Edge servers facilitate real-time decision-making by providing computing resources away from data centers and the cloud. In this article, we run several edge benchmarks on a SuperMicro IoT SuperServer SYS-210SE-31A, a versatile multi-node edge server. Clearly, the engineers had edge inferencing in mind during its conception, as this box was born to inference.
