The array IP implosion

by Robin Harris | Monday, May 23, 2016 | Architecture, Cloud computing & storage, Enterprise, Future Tech, SSD/Flash/NVRAM | 2 comments

We’ve seen this movie before The value of legacy array intellectual property is collapsing. This isn’t complicated: SSDs have made IOPS – what hard drive arrays were optimizing for the last 25 years – easy and cheap. Think of all the hard-won...

Scale and the all-flash datacenter

by Robin Harris | Monday, May 9, 2016 | Architecture, Cloud computing & storage, Disk, Enterprise, SSD/Flash/NVRAM | 7 comments

There’s a gathering vendor storm pushing the all-flash datacenter as a solution to datacenter ills, such as high personnel costs and performance bottlenecks. There’s some truth to this, but its application is counter-intuitive. Most of the time, storage...

What is Software Defined Memory? A converged memory and storage architecture that enables applications to access storage as if it was memory and memory as if it was storage Unlike most of the software defined x menagerie, SDM isn’t simply another layer that...

So, how much will Optane SSDs cost?

by Robin Harris | Friday, April 1, 2016 | Architecture, Marketing, SSD/Flash/NVRAM | 0 comments

I opined recently on ZDNet that I expected Optane SSDs would come out at $2/GB. Josh Goldenhar of Excelero had a thoughtful rejoinder: . . . I think Octane will be more expensive. You mentioned $0.20/GB for flash – but I think that’s for SATA flash or consumer...
