Cloud integration now mandatory for storage
Spoke to the fine folks at Cloudtenna. Their thing: Cloudtenna is the first platform to generate augmented intelligence on top of your existing file repositories. The Direct Content Intelligence (DirectCI) agent uses deep machine learning to identify the files most...
Non-Volatile Memory Workshop ’17
StorageMojo's crack analyst team will be attending the 8th Non-volatile Memory Workshop. Last year's event attracted 230 participants. This isn't the Flash Memory Summit, which focuses on flash memory as a storage technology and its commercial application. NVMW is an...
FAST ’17 starts in two weeks
FAST 17 starts in two weeks. AFAIK, StorageMojo was the first press to attend and report on FAST, starting in 2008. For years I had it to myself, but in the last few years other publications have started attending. That's a very good thing, as storage is THE problem...

Violin’s bankruptcy
Violin Memory, one of the early entrants with an all-flash array, filed for bankruptcy last month. The company continues to operate under Chapter 11, but this is a sad outcome for a pioneer. So much for first mover advantage When I first met with Violin, the original...
Thunder Mountain
StorageMojo's hike blogging has been on hiatus for a few months, due to a personal issue. But no worries! If all goes according to plan I will be better than new by the end of January. I'm more than ready! I've had to skip too many industry events, such as Flash...
Purpose built backup appliances: cloud collateral damage
It makes sense that the WW purpose-built backup appliance would be suffering. Cloud-based data gets IaaS provider DR, while cloud backup software handles day-to-day backup, and modern object storage systems optimize archiving. Back in April of 2012, IDC produced a...
The myth of video anonymity
Artificial Intelligence has achieved breakthroughs that directly affect documentary and investigative reporting, or any video where participants need anonymity. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI), standard methods of cloaking identities through...
