Embrace Cloud Storage. Intelligently - CloudArray Software | Twi. Survey finds storage systems underutilized as companies add more. Computerworld - A survey of 1,165 IT managers found that the average company doesn't utilize 28% of storage capacity but nonetheless plans to increase storage capacity by 34% over the next year. The survey, performed by International Data Group's B2B publications business, found that the storage capacity at the companies of respondents will grow by an average of 58% over the next one to three years and by 93% over the next 3 to 5 years.
The survey separated respondents into two groups: Those managing IT in enterprises with more than 1,000 employees; and those at small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) with fewer than 1,000 employees. The enterprise survey found that 58% of respondents work at a company with a storage budget of over $100,000, while the SMB IT managers indicated they spend less than $100,000 annually on storage needs. The survey found that overall, companies spend an average of 23% of their annual storage budget on operating costs and maintenance.
EMC shuts down online cloud storage service. Computerworld - EMC plans to shut down its Atmos Online cloud storage service immediately, according to a posting on its website. EMC said its hosted storage service will be phased out immediately, and it is offering no guarantee that any current users storing data on it will be able to retrieve it in the future. "As a result, we strongly encourage that you migrate any critical data or production workloads currently served via Atmos Online to one of our partners offering Atmos based services," EMC instructed users on its site. EMC started Atmos Online a little more than a year ago, but the service never took off, according to industry analysts. An EMC spokesman said as the number of service providers adopting EMC Atmos technology continues to expand, the company decided not to announce the general availability of the Atmos Online storage service for production use.
This is not the first time EMC has toyed with being a storage service provider. @StuieSav: What sort of things would I like to see included in s. Hi there all, so there have been a good few discussions going on between a bunch of us, namely: @storageanarchy @3parfarley @ianhf @storagebod @stuiesav (myself) and numerous others (apologies if i have missed anyone) around the subject of storage federation...
Firstly - a big "Get fixed soon" to Marc Farley - Take a nose at his Blog - really quite humbling to see what technology is capable of... forget about all this storage and infrastructure malarkey - Keeping people healthy - that is where it is at... Take a nose: Views and thoughts have been shared and its been a good discussion. I thought i might just add a few more views in terms of the type of functions / behaviors that i would expect from a federated storage infrastructure... This really is not a hard spec of items, but really some rough scribblings that i thought peeps may be interested... so here goes for a bit of "rough": Have a great one!!
Stu. EMC Technology Breakthrough Enables Virtual Stora. Contacts News Summary: EMC advances Virtual Storage with industry’s first distributed storage federation capabilities, eliminating boundaries of physical storage and allowing information resources to be transparently pooled and shared over distance for new levels of efficiency, control and choice. Groundbreaking EMC VPLEX Local and VPLEX Metro products address fundamental challenges of rapidly relocating applications and large amounts of information on-demand within and across data centers which is a key enabler of the private cloud.
Future EMC VPLEX versions will add cross-continental and global capabilities, allowing multiple data centers to be pooled over extended distances, providing dramatic new distributed compute and service-provider models and private clouds. Full Story: A key to Virtual Storage is the federation of distributed storage arrays, which is a breakthrough component of the new VPLEX technology. New EMC VPLEX: Breakthrough technology based on 20 years of leadership.
All Your Virtualized Storage Are Belong To Us… | Rational Surviv. A point I’ve raised in my Four Horsemen presentation that I’m spending a lot of time researching is on the topic of how virtualization is accelerating the adoption of SAN storage and to a larger extent I/O virtualization and what that means to security. I wanted to introduce this topic as a teaser to a larger series of posts. This is not a treatise on the subject and is deliberately thin on detail and thick on corner case illustration. You have been warned. What I’m both extremely intrigued by and really worried about as we move further along the virtualization continuum is the strange duality offered up by the intersection of consolidated compute, resources and information overlaid with tremendous distributed mobility and the security (or lack thereof) of this pooled storage holding all our crown jewels. Centralized storage offers great benefits: easier to backup/restore, simpler management, better cost effectiveness, facilitated resiliency and potentially better security.
Bueller? /Hoff. Federated Storage: What the Hell? From Virtualization To Federation. How Did We Get Here? Perhaps the most interesting pathway into the new "federation" discussion is to review how server virtualization has evolved -- something most of us are familiar with already. Several years, all the discussion was around low-level hypervisors: layers of server firmware that logically partitioned underutilized servers into multiple virtual machines. VMware successfully changed the game by re-framing the discussion as "pools of servers", rather than individual servers. Indeed, many of the early attention-getting features of VMware were around this foundational theme: Vmotion, DRS and more lately dynamic power management and software fault tolerance.
None of these server virtualization features are particularly interesting or useful when limiting our thinking to a single server. And, yes, the industry cloud buzz is also leading us into a broader discussion around federation principles. This is not a new idea by any stretch. What About Storage? I Dub Thee ...
