Howard Marks, Founder and Chief Scientist, DeepStorage.net: One of the cool things we saw at Dell Storage Forum today is that they've taken the EqualLogic PS-4000 array -- their basically low-end model -- and packaged it so it fits in a double-wide slot in the M10000 blade chassis.
Adopting cloud storage technology requires a solid understanding of the business drivers behind the technology’s ROI and a clear strategy for evaluating cloud gateways, service-level agreements (SLAs) and security requirements. In these three Storage Decisions video presentations from our 2011 New York City event, watch cloud storage explained by veteran industry experts Marc Staimer, Howard Marks and Arun Taneja.
Deploying block storage for a VMware environment brings a number of benefits compared with file storage. Among them is improved performance stemming from protocol offloads that allow the CPU to perform other tasks, and, in the case of a Fibre Channel SAN, a dedicated high-speed network.
