• Is the role of the storage admin going away?

  
  Hu Yoshida — Authority: 103
  John Webster posted on the changing role of the IT Storage pro based on a conversation he had with the CIO of a large technology company. This CIO was speculating that the role of the storage administrator within IT operations is going away.  This CIO believes that the segregation of IT operational departments along ...

• Horizontal Scaling Alone…

  
  Michael Hay — Authority: 111
  Makes about as much sense as IP over avian carriers .  Seriously if I look on the Top500 super computer list I can see an emerging trend towards hybrid/many core computing with the combination of vertical and horizontal scaling — sometimes called Cartesian scaling or scale-up and scale-out.  There is still a ...

• Not-so-FAST, indeed

  
  Christophe Bertrand — Authority: 99
  When EMC announced V-Max in the spring of 2009, it included statements of intent to deliver fully automated storage tiering, otherwise known as FAST.  Many years ago, when EMC was innovating in the storage business, the company rarely if ever pre-announced future products. Today, it’s common for EMC to sell a ...

• Should The Title Come at the End?

  
  Michael Hay — Authority: 111
  I was watching a TV show commercial-free on my AppleTV and an interesting thought occurred to me.  You see at the beginning I failed to understand the title of the episode, but about 75% of the way through I finally understood the title.  This also led me to an epiphany: the best way to name a work is not at the ...

• And the Future is Already Here

  
  Michael Hay — Authority: 111
  So I have been beating the drum of special purpose computing or hybrid computing through several posts and talking about it as something which will eventually happen.  Well with CSIRO’s recent deployment of a hybrid compute platform that uses NVidia’s Tesla processor cores, Intel Xeons, and a Hitachi NAS ...

• Feline Computing

  
  Michael Hay — Authority: 111
  Last week at SC09 IBM announced that a Bluegene/P system with 147,456 CPUs and 144 terabytes of main memory was able to simulate the cerebral cortex of a cat.  Personally I find this kind of work extremely exciting and really on the bleeding edge of computer science.  One of the examples of how the simulation ...

• Migration – what they don’t tell you

  
  Christophe Bertrand — Authority: 99
  It’s a very interesting time in the industry because there are many users of storage going through data center consolidations, moves, and technology refreshes that invariably generate significant disruptions to business as usual. More importantly, these events generate migration projects which are fraught with ...

• The Right Tool for the Right Job, Vol. 2

  
  Michael Hay — Authority: 111
  I’m always looking for alignment of ideas or logic or thoughts across a variety of disciplines.  For instance in past posts like “ The Dance ” I talked about the offload characteristics of electronics and showed an equivalent example in offloading typing to your hands — kind of let your fingers do the ...

• Ex-IV?

  
  Christophe Bertrand — Authority: 99
  I was recently chatting with one of my colleagues, and we got around to discussing midrange storage and XIV. After a few minutes of healthy banter, we quickly concluded that the XIV definitely has some product limitations customers need to be aware of. Please take this with as light-heartedly as you can — asXIV ...

• Is the future of storage scale up or scale out?

  
  Hu Yoshida — Authority: 103
  What do we mean by scale up versus scale out? If you go to Wikipedia you will find a section under the definition for scalability for “Scale vertically vs. horizontally” . Here is what it says: Scale vertically (scale up) To scale vertically (or scale up) means to add resources to a single node in a ...

From your perspective what ...

• The Analog Blogger

  
  Michael Hay — Authority: 111
  In a sense information wants to be free and Alfred Sirleaf in Liberia seems to be an agent of information freedom.  He appears to be the world’s first and only analog blogger.  I find this interesting, because in my mind this is innovation.  He is using the tools at his disposal to gather the information, and ...

• Disruptive thinking…

  
  Christophe Bertrand — Authority: 99
  With its V-Max announcement a while back and its recent earnings call, EMC is making noise about so-called federated storage, scale out architecture… and selling futures in a big way. Like any marketing term, federated storage has been heavy on implication and light on definition. Some of us believe, in fact, that ...

• Loading Up on Virtual Servers

  
  Hu Yoshida — Authority: 103
  I visited a customer last week who was trying to run four 6 node ESX clusters with 200 to 240 instances per cluster on a large modular storage system.  It was not surprising that the modular storage system could not support that workload. That type of workload  needs to be run on a monolithic storage array that can ...
