Data Visualization, Recovery, and Simplicity of Management Emerging as Differentiating Features on Integrated Backup Appliances

October 7, 2016

Enterprises now demand higher levels of automation, integration, simplicity, and scalability from every component deployed into their IT infrastructure and the integrated backup appliances found in the DCIG’s forthcoming Buyer’s Guide Editions that cover integrated backup appliances are a clear output of those expectations. Intended for organizations that want to protect applications and data and then keep it behind corporate fire walls, these backup appliances come fully equipped from both hardware and software perspectives to do so.

SaaS Provider Decides to Roll Out Cohesity for Backup and DR; Interview with System Architect, Fidel Michieli, Part 2

September 30, 2016

Evaluating product features, comparing prices, and doing proofing of concepts are important steps in the process of adopting almost any new product. But once one completes those steps, the time arrives to start to roll the product out and implement it. In this second installment of my interview series with System Architect, Fidel Michieli, he shares how his company gained a comfort level with Cohesity for backup and disaster recovery (DR) and how broadly it decided to deploy the product in the primary and secondary data centers.

Storage Remains a Factor in Hyper-converged Infrastructure Deployment Decisions

September 9, 2016

Anyone in attendance at VMworld last week in Las Vegas and walking through the exhibit hall where all of the vendors showcased their wares could hardly miss the vast numbers of hyper-converged infrastructure and hyper-converged like vendors in attendance. Cisco, Dell, EMC, HPE, Nutanix, Maxta, Cohesity, Pivot3, Rubrik, Simplivity and Datrium, just to name a few, and I am sure there were others. Yet what caught my attention is speaking to their representatives and some of their users is how storage remains a factor in the architecture of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions.

Pivot3 QoS Positions Organizations to Introduce and Maintain Order in their Hyperconverged Deployments

August 17, 2016

Hyperconverged infrastructure solutions stand poised to disrupt traditional IT architectures in every way possible. Combining compute, data protection, networking, memory, scale out, storage, and virtualization on a single platform, they deliver the benefits of traditional IT infrastructures without their associated complexities. But as organizations look to consolidate on hyperconverged infrastructure solutions, they need data protection services such as Pivot3’s Quality of Service (QoS) feature now found on its vSTAC SLX Hyperconverged product that enables organizations to better protect their applications.

HPE Practices What it Preaches to Bring about Its Own Digital Transformation

June 10, 2016

Change. Digital transformation. Disrupt. Eat your own young. These were just some of the terms and phrases uttered at this past week’s HPE Discover event in Las Vegas by HPE executives at all levels of the organization. Yet in the face of the changes that are about to sweep through the technology industry, a technology provider that touches as many organizations around the world as HPE does needs to have more than this type of mindset. It needs to have the products and strategy in place to back it up. Based upon what I saw at HPE Discover last week, HPE is executing upon these requirements.

SimpliVity Hyper-converged Solution Already Driving Enterprises to Complete Do-overs of their Data Center Infrastructures

June 6, 2016

Every now and then a technology comes along that prompts enterprises to a complete do-over of their existing data center infrastructures. This type of dramatic change is already occurring within organizations of all sizes who are adopting and implementing SimpliVity.

Server-based Storage Makes Accelerating Application Performance Insanely Easy

May 24, 2016

In today’s enterprise data centers, when one thinks performance, one thinks flash. That’s great. But that thought process can lead organizations to think that “all-flash arrays” are the only option they have to get high levels of performance for their applications. That thinking is now so outdated. The latest server-based storage solution from Datrium illustrates how accelerating application performance just became insanely easy by simply clicking a button versus resorting to upgrading some hardware in their environment.

Hyper-converged Infrastructure Adoption is a Journey, not a Destination

March 30, 2016

Few data center technologies currently generate more buzz than hyper-converged infrastructure solutions. By combining compute, data protection, flash, scale-out, and virtualization into a single self-contained unit, organizations get the best of what each of these individual technologies has to offer with the flexibility to implement each one in such a way that it matches their specific business needs. Yet organizations must exercise restraint in how many attributes they ascribe to hyper-converged infrastructure solutions as their adoption is a journey, not a destination.

SimpliVity OmniStack 3.0 Illustrates Why Hyper-converged Infrastructures are Experiencing Hyper-Growth

August 28, 2015

As the whole technology world (or at least those intimately involved with the enterprise data center space) takes a breath before diving head first into VMworld next week, a few vendors are jumping the gun and making product announcements in advance of it. One of those is SimpliVity which announced its latest hyper-converged offering, OmniStack 3.0, this past Wednesday. In so doing, it continues to put a spotlight on why hyper-converged infrastructures and the companies delivering them are experiencing hyper-growth even in a time of relative market and technology uncertainty.

Hyper-converged Infrastructures Poised to Go Hyper-Growth in 2016

June 5, 2015

Hyper-converged infrastructures are quickly capturing the fancy of end-user organizations everywhere. They bundle hypervisor, server and storage in a single node and provide the flexibility to scale-out to form a single logical entity. In this configuration, they offer a very real opportunity for organizations to economically and practically collapse their existing infrastructure of servers and storage arrays into one that is much easier to implement, manage and upgrade over time.
