Since writing that article, the world has radically changed, and in effect, so have virtual desktops. Over the last two years, we have seen the largest migration
We like talking about flash because, well, it’s fast and makes applications smile thanks to low latency. But the reality is, hard drives still dominate the storage landscape whether you’re a hyperscaler or a small business — our readers certainly don’t need the hyperbolic rant about the speed of data growth. To help address these

When one thinks of Kubernetes (K8s), terms that often come to mind have to do with large-scale environments like “cloud-scale,” “unlimited expandability,” and even “ginormous.” However, the reality is that a significant portion of the IT world needs to start with much smaller K8s environments for development and production. To provide cloud-level convenience, flexibility, and
The Lenovo ThinkEdge SE50 and the SE30 were recently released to help organizations meet IoT needs at the edge. In this review, we have our hands on the SE50. Our unit has an 8th Gen Intel Core i7, 32GB memory, and one 256GB SSD. However, the raw specs on the SE50 aren’t the most important
