Earlier this year, Dell Technologies launched a new storage array line, PowerStore, geared to contend in the highly competitive midrange storage arena. PowerStore was designed to not only meet today’s storage needs, but also be compatible with the new ways in which storage is consumed, supported, purchased, and managed in the future. To get a

今年早些时候，戴尔科技集团推出了新的存储阵列产品线PowerStore，旨在竞争激烈的中端存储领域展开竞争。PowerStore不仅旨在满足今天的存储需求，而且要与未来使用、支持、购买和管理存储的新方式兼容。为了更好地了解这种存储阵列如何从本质上简化这些过程，我们在我们的Midwest实验室中引入了一个PowerStore。在本文中，我们将首先深入了解关于该阵列的一些要点，然后回顾我们使用它进行的实践工作。

We’ve previously reviewed Intel’s SSD Toolbox, a GUI application for managing and updating Intel’s SSDs. Instead of updating the software, the company up and replaced it at the end of last year with the new Intel Memory and Storage (MAS) Tool. Sometimes it is better to just start from scratch and build it the way

QNAP Systems is continuing to expand its QuTS hero line with the QNAP TS-h2490FU NAS. This 2U, rackmount NAS is more performance-oriented with a second-gen AMD EPYC CPU and all NVMe flash storage. Being a “hero” NAS, it is ZFS-based, that while lending itself to more enterprise features, it tends to pull overall performance down.

For the ultimate road warrior or remote worker, two items generally dictate where you can work, internet access and power. With many phone plans now including some form of data tethering package, that leaves power availability as a core challenge for people on the road or trail. Enter in the Orico Power Station and 100W

In a recent article, we looked at one of the more interesting technologies currently being deployed in the datacenter: disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure (dHCI). In particular, we looked at HPE’s implementation of dHCI as they are a leader in this technology. As a recap, dHCI is similar to hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) in the sense that it

在 最近的一篇文章中，我们研究了目前部署在数据中心的一种更有兴趣的技术：分解式超融合基础设施（dHCI）。我们特别关注了HPE的dHCI实现，因为他们是该技术的领导者。回顾一下，在某种意义上，dHCI与超融合基础设施（HCI）类似，因为它允许存储、计算和连网，全部从一个管理平面进行管理（例如HPE的dHCI，是从vCenter服务器进行管理）；然而，与HCI不同的是，dHCI不需要与计算同步部署存储。dHCI供应商已经有意识地将存储与计算分离开来，从而为数据中心提供全面扩展部署的自由，从而防止HCI部署中普遍存在的资源搁浅问题。HCI部署的不平衡是由于，与存储增加保持相同的速度来增加计算需求的应用非常少。在本文中，我们将深入研究dHCI的存储方面，看看是否可以在与计算同一个面板中有效地管理它。

Dans un article récent, nous nous sommes penchés sur l’une des technologies les plus intéressantes actuellement déployées dans les datacenters : l’infrastructure hyperconvergée désagrégée (ou dHCI). Nous avons étudié, en particulier, l’implémentation de la dHCI par HPE, l’un des leaders de cette technologie. Pour résumer, la dHCI est similaire à l’architecture hyperconvergée (HCI) dans le sens où
