Flash memory company Nimbus Data announced on Monday the ExaDrive DC100, a large capacity (100 terabytes) solid state drive (SSD) ever produced. Featuring over three times the capacity of the closest competitor, the ExaDrive DC100 also draws 85 percent less power per terabyte (TB). These innovations reduce total cost of ownership per terabyte by 42 percent compared to competing enterprise SSDs, helping accelerate flash memory adoption in both cloud infrastructure […]
Chelsio Communications, provider of high performance Ethernet unified wire adapters and ASICs for storage networking, virtualized enterprise datacenters, cloud service installations, and cluster computing environments, announced on Monday that NetApp has selected T6 Unified Wire adapters for its AFF A700 all-flash and FAS9000 hybrid storage systems. The AFF A700 all-flash array delivers improved performance in a compact form factor to modernize IT for demanding enterprise applications, analytic workloads, and cloud […]
AccelStor presented on Friday its latest all-flash storage solutions breaking through performance and availability barriers for artificial intelligence (AI), virtualization and private cloud. Combined with space-efficient Free Clone and inline deduplication technologies, NeoSapphire AFAs deliver a 5:1 data reduction ratio, which maximises storage capacity for data-intensive applications. Furthermore, the maximum capacity can be scaled up to 1.2 PB when coupled with JBODs. NeoSapphire AFAs also support SEDs (self-encrypting drives) and […]
Broadcom Limited announced the immediate availability of the Broadcom Monterey Ethernet switch (BCM56670) built for cellular fronthaul networks. This high capacity device meets the stringent performance demands of new Ethernet-based 5G radios and supports existing CPRI-based radios, consolidating all radio traffic onto a standard, Ethernet-based infrastructure. The introduction of the Monterey Ethernet switch strengthens Broadcom’s position as a market leader in carrier-class radio networking components. The 5G build-out will require […]
The LTO Program Technology Provider Companies (TPCs), Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM and Quantum released on Wednesday their annual tape media shipment report, detailing year-over-year shipments. The report showed a record 108,457 petabytes (PB) of total tape capacity (compressed) shipped in 2017, an increase of 12.9 percent over the previous year. To put this immense amount of tape capacity into perspective, two PB of data is equivalent to roughly the amount […]
Kingston Digital, the flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, announced on Monday its new series of ‘Canvas’ Flash memory cards. Canvas will offer three different variations in both SD and microSD cards: Select, Go, and React to suit consumers’ needs. With the Canvas line of memory cards, users and creators can choose the best storage medium available. The cards are designed to provide the reliability, flexibility and performance needed […]
Intel has released its Intel SSD DC P4510 Series that delivers high performance, Quality of Service (QoS), and capacity improvements to further optimize storage efficiency, enabling data centers to do more per server, minimize service disruptions, and manage at scale. THis line is built from the success of its cloud-inspired predecessor – the Intel SSD DC P4500 Series – and architected with 64-layer, TLC, Intel 3D NAND. Built on NVMe […]
Super Micro Computer, provider of enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions and green computing technology, announced this week that it is driving the server and storage industry’s rapid transition to 25G Ethernet Networking technology with a selection of network interface card (NIC) and top-of-rack (ToR) switch solutions. As memory, processor and storage performance increase, the demand for expanded network capacity follows naturally. When combined with increased system performance, 25G Ethernet helps […]
Marvell announced on Monday launch of the 88X7120 offering in its Alaska C family of high-speed Ethernet physical layer (PHY) transceivers, designed to improve bandwidth and performance in the data center. The new transceiver is purpose-built to address the transition in hyperscale data centers from 25GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) and 100GbE to 50GbE, 200GbE and 400GbE as new applications like artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to drive exponential processing and […]
