Storage Visions Calls for Sponsors
Editor:- June 24, 2009 - the 9th annual Storage Visions Conference is now open for presentations, sponsors and exhibitors.

It will be held at the Riviera Hotel Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 5 & 6, 2010.

According to conference organizer Tom Coughlin - "The next decade will give us new tools to capture and organize our lives, more content created by more people and more ways to distribute, monetize and make that content useful. From cloud storage to life-logs, from external direct attached and networked storage to the increasingly high resolution content that we will surround ourselves with wherever we go-we live in an age when the personal and collective memory of humans will reach new levels."
Storage Visions Conference Storage technologies that will be discussed include:- next generation hard disk drive, flash memory and optical recording, storage for content delivery networks and new storage-related standards that will change the world.

DTS Hybrid SSD Wins Best of Show
Editor:- June 12, 2009 - DTS today confirmed it has won a best of show award at Interop Tokyo 2009 for its Platinum SSD.

Editor's comments:- DTS's original Platinum drive was a 3.5" hybrid - which included a RAM SSD accelerated hard drive. The internal SSD controller virtualized the interface to make it appear as an OS agnostic SATA drive.

More recent versions of this drive embed a flash SSD (instead of HDD). The best way to think about this product is as a scaled down single disk version of an SSD accelerated RAID. It can significantly increase random IOPS for some types of application - at a cost which nothing else comes close to (using SLC flash technology). It's scalable too. Some DTS customers use these drives in rackmount arrays.
the fastest SSDs - click to read article This is the kind of product which requires extensive benchmarking in the production environment in which it's going to be used. If it's a good fit - then great. But actual speedup and competitiveness depends on a variety of factors which are too difficult for most users to model. DTS says it will ship a 2.5" SSD which delivers about 40,000 IOPS later this month.

24x7 Guide to Data Recovery
Editor:- there's one kind of storage event which you can't plan for...

...When disaster strikes and you need a data recovery company.

Our Data Recovery page includes profiles for over 50 companies, articles and news about the market.

In more than decade covering the data recovery market I've learned they can fix products ranging from a single drive to every critical disk in an affected area.

Damage can be due to many accidental causes - including physical shock, fire, flood, chemical attack etc.

One thing which may surprise you is it's possible to make things even worse. So it's important to read some of these articles before you try any remedial action yourself - and that includes how you handle the affected drives.
Data Recovery Depending on their competency, DR companies can recover data from hard disks, tapes, optical drives and even some flash memory devices and mobile phones.
