No single publication can cover all your
information needs adequately. That's why we link to thousands of external
information sources throughout this site. This shortlist of classic computer
sites includes high quality vendor independent computer publications which were
first published before January 1, 2000. They've stood the test of time. That's
why we call them "classics". Generally the sites listed her are "open",
competitive and include information from lots of vendors.
Many of
these publications existed even before the web and some have been around for a
decade or more. As a publisher we've been referring our readers to reference
publications like these for over 9 years from our own
Sun and
storage publications and this is a
way of rounding up a very small percentage of our favorites.
We'd like to expand this list, while keeping the same high
quality level... Currently, most of these links are biased towards enterprise
servers and storage, because those are the only markets we've covered in the
past. But your information needs may be a lot wider.
If you publish a
vendor independent computer classic site and would like to be considered as an
addition to this list, and included in our search-engine and directory then
email classics@STORAGEsearch.com, include your url, a short profile of the
publication, and attach your masthead or logo. (Emails which come from a
different domain than the web site will be ignored.) |

Animal Brands and Metaphors in the Storage Market
 Animal
marketing metaphors are popular in service industries, but you'd be surprised
how many companies have used animals in their marketing of data storage
products and services.
The storage market was worth over $150 billion
in 2005, and as it gets bigger - more companies will turn to animal brands to
help differentiate their otherwise bland products and lend them artificial
(or deserving) characters and virtues.
The idea behind this type of
marketing is to suggest positive connotations so it's unlikely that anyone will
choose to associate their products with gremlins. But you may be surprised by
the population of the storage ark.
This reference articles lists all
known companies who have furry marketing brands, and also includes some which
are slimy, scaly and scary too. ...read the article,

Why are Most Analysts Wrong About Solid State Disks?
 Most
analysts and editors of other computer publications don't really understand the
solid state disk market. They show their ignorance and naivete by prefacing
every discussion of SSDs with a superficial analysis which compares the cost per
byte of storage between flash and hard disk drives. That's the wrong answer to
the wrong question. And it's far removed from why the SSD market is racing to
become a multi billion dollar market seemingly in blithe ignorance of the cost
per byte proposition.
This article tells you what's important to
users and the main applications in which SSDs are already being used and new
applications where they will be used in the next 3 years. ...read the
