Broadberry and Nexenta are partnering to deliver complete enterprise class storage solutions. Based upon NexentaStor, these solutions leverage the revolutionary ZFS file system and offer many advantages versus alternatives including: no limits on file system sizes or on the number of snap shots; inherent virtualization including the use of storage pooling to improve performance and enable thin provisioning; integrated search to manage highly granular backup policies; and end to end data integrity that eliminates the risk of silent data corruption that impacts many SATA based solutions. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/606589.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/606589.htm Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:15:00 GMT Mellanox Technologies and Galactic Computing announced that Mellanox's 20Gb/s InfiniBand adapters provide the low-latency, high-performance storage interconnect for Galactic Computing's line of VSTOR storage systems and gateways, providing an adaptive and responsive infrastructure for business continuity and disaster recovery applications such as remote mirroring and replication. VSTOR supports Fibre Channel, iSCSI, InfiniBand, SAS and NAS connections to servers allowing total flexibility in access. Mellanox InfiniBand adapters serve as the ideal choice for workloads that require high performance, efficiency and scalability. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/600130.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/600130.htm Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:15:00 GMT Nirvanix announced the beta of a new set of products that attaches the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network to a local network as a Windows or Linux filer using standard industry networking protocols. Users can then work with the applications they are accustomed to, or simply drag and drop files from their desktops to Nirvanix's storage service. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/577164.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/577164.htm Thu, 29 May 2008 14:00:00 GMT ONStor announced it has been awarded certification for interoperability with the VMware server virtualization software platform. Confirming the ability of VMware virtual machines (VMs) to operate on ONStor storage devices, this certification assures customers that both companies are committed to an ongoing partnership, including providing technical support and proactive qualification to support customers' deployments. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/575948.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/575948.htm Wed, 28 May 2008 11:45:00 GMT RELDATA announced its solutions powered by the RELDATA 9240 have been verified for Citrix XenServer. The verification supports RELDATA's ongoing effort to develop partnerships to support reliable iSCSI SAN and NAS solutions that function across all industry standards. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/576402.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/576402.htm Tue, 27 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT Silicom announced that its quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters have been selected by a storage company as a standard component in its state-of-the-art new virtualization appliances. Silicom's robust adapters will be used to enhance the throughput of the appliance as required in high-traffic and mission critical environments, and to prevent I/O bottlenecks at the appliance level. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/538210.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/538210.htm Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:15:00 GMT Now, what Google announced is really exciting! I'm not kidding. It's even better than I hoped. Yes, it's only Python, but IBM's PC-DOS was only BASIC and Pascal when it first came out, and it didn't matter. Yeah, I preferred C, but I coded in Pascal because that's what you had to do to get an app running. What you're going to see here that you've never seen before is shrinkwrap net apps that scale that can be deployed by civillians. That's a mouthful, but that's what's coming. Why? Because here is a standardized platform that can be stamped out in the billions of units. Maybe Google can't do it, but the perception is that they can. Who is willing to stand up and say Google hasn't nailed scaling? What PCs did in the 80s, Google is doing now. PCs took the black magic out of owning a computer. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/113121.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/113121.htm Mon, 27 Jun 2005 06:00:00 GMT Much is being made about network attached storage (NAS) and storage area networks (SANs) as options for the high-volume data storage needs of modern enterprises. Yet when you look closely, these are not competing solutions, but rather complementary technologies that are best suited to different tasks. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/113123.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/113123.htm Sat, 25 Jun 2005 10:00:00 GMT Managing the surge of file-based data has become increasingly difficult and complex. Virtualizing NAS through Network File Virtualization (NFV) simplifies storage management and enables administrators to easily address management and utilization challenges without affecting data access. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/46727.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/46727.htm Thu, 14 Oct 2004 00:00:00 GMT In an agreement forged between Azul Systems and influential Japanese IT distributor, Nissho Electronics, Japan will become the first country to offer network-attached processing capabilities for Java and J2EE platform-based applications. Nissho will utilize Azul's compute appliances, which use network attached processing to unbound compute resources for Java. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/45053.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/45053.htm Tue, 01 Jun 2004 00:00:00 GMT Aimed at small-to-medium size businesses and based on a unique patent-pending design and technology, EMC has launched a customer-installable networked storage system capable of storing up to three terabytes of information with integrated functions for simple management and advanced protection. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/44990.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/44990.htm Tue, 25 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT EMC Corporation extended its NetWin family of NAS products with a low-cost model targeted at the entry-level NAS market. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/44246.htmhttp://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/44246.htm Mon, 29 Mar 2004 00:00:00 GMT EMC information storage systems with five terabytes of capacity - the equivalent of five million books, one million digital photos, or 200,000-300,000 MP3 files - have just been donated by EMC to 6 schools local to the Hopkinton, MA-based storage giant.
