Being able to see into one’s storage can be critical in some cases and at least helpful in most. This becomes even more beneficial when dealing with multi-vendor NAS and/or SAN arrays. SolarWinds’ Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) is a relatively in-expensive way for organizations to gain insight into their arrays. SolarWinds SRM gives administrators insight
Synology has designed a storage solution that is optimized for easy PC-less surveillance in offices and small shops looking to leverage up to 4 IP cameras (or up to 9 with an upgraded unit). The NVR216 somewhat resembles one of Synology's 2-bay NAS units, but with an emphasis on providing HD video output with a
Permabit Albireo SANblox is a purpose-built data reduction appliance designed to unlock more capacity from Fibre Channel SANs. Permabit estimates users will see at least a 6:1 reduction in data footprint that resides on the SAN, allowing storage investments to massively alter the standard value proposition. SANblox offers deduplication and compression with thin provisioning, further enhancing the feature set. All
Cameras seem to be everywhere now and the number is only increasing. The omnipresent surveillance can be seen as either a blessing or a curse depending on one’s perspective, but it does provide information that can lead to finding answers to crimes, accidents, and mechanical failures. As camera technology is improving, with aspects such as
There are several options available for storage on the market today. Most of the differentiators out there involve differing speeds, more 9s in availability, or varying GUI support. All in all the arrays are very similar; they just offer different pricing and support or features that are aimed at a set group of customers. DataGravity has
PMC’s NV1600 Flashtec series are non-volatile memory (NVRAM) drives that use NVMe interface through PCIe. The NV1600 Flashtec NVRAM drives are all about performance with claims of over 10 million IOPS and sub-microsecond latency. Unlike SSDs, NVRAM has near unlimited endurance, leveraging DRAM that is battery-backed to flash in the event of power loss. The
Cloudian’s HyperStore is a software-defined storage platform built on native support for the Amazon S3 API, with integrations with several other cloud storage APIs. Cloudian offers HyperStore in the form of storage appliances and a HyperStore Operating Environment software solution for commodity hardware. HyperStore's tight cloud integrations underline the platform's tiering, backup, replication, cold storage, and
The Ultrastar SN100 Series of enterprise SSDs is HGST’s first foray into NVMe drives, with their prior work being centered on the SAS interface. The family of drives is broken into two categories, the SN100 referring to the 2.5″ form factor and the SN150 meaning half-height half-length add-in-card (AIC) form factor. In either shape the drives are
The Intel DC P3608 is a high-performance enterprise NVMe SSD that leverages the add-in-card (AIC) form factor aimed at the database, HPC and real-time analytics. The half-height, half-length (HHHL) cards offer capacities up to 4TB and performance at the top end of 5GB/s sequential read and 3GB/s sequential write, along with 850,000 random 4K read
Memblaze has a new generation of NVMe SSDs designed for the enterprise. The PBlaze4 is intended for data centers running cloud computing, database, and other demanding applications. It is available in both half-height, half-length (HHHL) and full-height, half-length (FHHL) form factors, and capacities ranging from 800GB to 6.4TB.
