Server manufacturers have long recognised the niche in public cloud computing that physical servers neatly fill. This has evolved over time to IT leaders and the industry recognising that some workloads will always be run on-premise; some may run both on the public cloud and on-premise; and some may be wholly cloud-based. Artificial intelligence (AI)…

Key-value flash targets more efficient data storage

3 minutes of reading / Kubernetes, Samsung, Tech / By

Imagine flash storage that stores data in exactly the format used by applications. That’s what’s promised by key-value flash media, as envisaged by at least one big drive maker, some researchers and startups, and in the NVMe Key-Value command set. Productised manifestations of key-value storage are more than thin on the ground, however. There has…

Cloud repatriation: How to do it successfully

6 minutes of reading / AI, Cloud, cloud-native, Kubernetes, Tech / By

Cloud repatriation – sometimes called “reverse migration” – is something any organisation that uses cloud storage should consider. It’s the process of moving workloads and data back from public cloud infrastructure to on-premise hardware. This could be to a business-owned datacentre, colocation or other shared facilities. Organisations might choose to repatriate because of application performance,…

QiStor flashes key-value storage software for hardware acceleration

4 minutes of reading / AI, Kubernetes, Tech / By

Existing flash storage is power-hungry and wasteful of datacentre performance because its data allocation method is rooted in the distant past of spinning disk hard drives and their fixed block pattern. The solution is to write data in key-value format and cut out the block addressing middleman. That’s the view of Silicon Valley startup QiStor,…

It has been widely reported that Broadcom has set its sights on VMware’s 1,500 most profitable customers. In organisations that spend less, negotiating new contracts may be difficult and costly, given that the new pricing bundles for VMware include products some IT departments may never use. This has been combined with a switch to a…

Hybrid multicloud storage: Pros, cons and key workloads

5 minutes of reading / Accenture, AWS, Azure, Cloud, compliance, data analytics, Dell, Hitachi, HP, hybrid cloud, IBM, Kubernetes, multicloud, Oracle, Oracle Cloud, Tech / By

Hybrid multicloud storage is intended to create the best of all worlds. By mixing on-premise technology with multiple public cloud resources, enterprises hope to optimise the attributes of each with regard to pricing, capacity, performance, features, security and resilience. The challenge is to create a coherent storage architecture out of multiple technologies rather than a…
