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 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. |
 |
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. |
 |
Depending on their
competency, DR companies can recover data from hard disks, tapes, optical drives
and even some flash memory devices and mobile phones. | | |
