Enterprise data centers must evolve, according to IDC’s Jeff Janukowicz, since the world will consume a full six times the amount of data that exists today – all within the next 5 years. In a recent ChannelCast webinar that also included CRN’s Joseph Kovar and Seagate’s Rich Vignes,…
Over the past few years, cloud computing has grown to become the hottest trend to emerge in IT and storage. The cost of storage has continued to go down, so mass deployment of clouds has gone way up. Everyone wants to be part of the cloud opportunity and so it was natural that after an [...]
Back in May, I presented the blog and question, “Is MLC the future of enterprise SSD storage?” and covered the ground with a discussion of the current standards, trends, and thoughts from analysts. It became clear that Multi-Level Cell (MLC) technology used within Solid State Drives was going to…

In a recent StorageNewsletter.com story, an argument was presented that SSDs and HDDs are different technologies and are therefore going to follow different paths with regard to form factors. Because an SSD is not a mechanical device with rotating platters, it is less constrained as to any form factor restrictions. Makes sense, and while it’s [...]
We’ve blogged about the importance of testing and standardization when it comes to defining and validating enterprise-level SSD reliability. Industry organization JEDEC has brought that to the forefront of the industry with its standards work. But what about the need for having industry-accepted test methods for measuring and reporting real-world SSD performance? Especially when considering [...]
In my last post, “Is Data in the Cloud Safe?” I talked about how few cloud service providers encrypt data at rest and how this impacts the security of your cloud data – especially when drives are retired. This post discusses a fast, easy way to enable secure cloud computing by using Self-Encrypting Drives to [...]
