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.

Modern server designs are taking advantage of an expanding world of accelerator cards to enable new or enhanced capabilities. While many go straight to GPUs when thinking about acceleration, there’s a new breed of processors that are not only addressing performance but also data protection and economics as well. The Pliops Extreme Data Processor (XDP)

About two years ago, we did a head-to-head showdown between two popular enterprise-grade SSDs: the Intel P5510 vs. the Samsung PM9A3—both of which have a solid following in the data center. Since then, Intel has spun its SSD business to a new company called Solidigm, a company backed by SK hynix. And now we’re taking

Even more versatile in its second generation, the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 is a mainstream server ideally suited for cloud storage, VDI, HPC, compute, and enterprise applications. This 2U, two-socket server is configurable with 40 storage drives or eight GPUs and 8TB of RAM.

StarWind Software is an industry leader in software-defined storage (SDS) thanks to flexible deployment modalities, overall system performance, and their urge to embrace emerging technologies. We saw this first hand at the end of last year when we looked at their NVMe-oF Initiator for Windows. This time we’re looking at the StarWind SAN & NAS

Technology moves in cycles, and no cycle is more evident right now than the emphasis on AI at the edge. In particular, we’re finding a massive swing to edge inferencing. NVIDIA is a big part of this push, wanting to drive adoption of their GPUs outside the data center. Still, the fact is that enterprises

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 is a 1U, two-socket server supporting third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Its versatile configurations suit it for compute density, cloud, and even database applications, with support for three graphics cards and 12 2.5-inch drives. It also features advanced remote management from Lenovo’s XClarity Controller. This is an ideal high-density server
