| New Book on
Enterprise Storage |
Editor:- May 7, 2009 - EMC has published a new
book (480 pages $60) -
"Information Storage and
Management".
The book's 40 contributing writers cover the
evolution of storage technology, including traditional deployment, consolidated
storage networking and storage virtualization, while also addressing the most
prevalent storage technologies, including direct attached storage (DAS),
networked attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SAN), content addressed
storage (CAS), and IP SAN.
Here's a quote from the
intro...
"Not long ago, information storage was seen as only a bunch of disks or
tapes attached to the back of the computer to store data..."
Yes -
I remember those bad
old days
(pre 1998) before people thought of storage as a single market. It sounds like
an interesting book.
You can never learn too much about storage. The 9
year old classic Storage
Architecture Guide is still a popular article today.

| Solid
Data Expands SSD Services |
SANTA CLARA, CA- -
January 29, 2008) - Solid Data Systems, Inc. today announced the
expansion of its professional services organization.
This group
helps users optimize the use of SSDs
in high transaction rate applications and is aligned by vertical industry
expertise. Solid Data's services program offers free initial phone
consultation, on-site architectural assessment and evaluation, and technical and
cost analysis on proposed SSD-based architectural solutions.
"In
the past SSDs were often used as quick fixes, only replacing key hot files,"
said Mark Hayashida, CTO of Solid Data Systems. "The mission of Solid Data
Professional Services is to introduce architectures specifically designed around
solid state disk storage. These architectures bring more than performance to
high transaction rate environments. Once the limitation of mechanical disk
drives is removed, the resulting systems are simpler, use much less power, and
reduce the number of servers required. In addition, peak transaction capacity is
dramatically increased, virtually eliminating server crashes due to overload. In
properly architected systems the savings more than compensate for the additional
cost of the SSD..."

Editor's comments:- this is a welcome move because as
new vendors enter the enterprise SSD market - there will be many examples of
the technology being mis-sold for applications which get no real benefit because
the SSDs have been deployed incorrectly. That's like hitching a
Porsche to plow
your field. It may have the horsepower - but it's not going to go any faster
than the John Deere... There's no
substitute for expertise when deploying this technology. | |
