The delivery of a 12 Gb/s SAS is just the start – SAS has a future roadmap looking at 24 Gb/s and beyond where SATA does not extend beyond 6 Gb/s – and performance above 1 million IOPS is looking more and more possible. The advantages include a future-proofed solution with higher throughput, no compromise
Some SSD benchmark scores can be misleading if they do not reflect long-term performance; SSD benchmark tests should measure the stability of consistent performance over time in real-world environments which reflect enterprise applications and performance demands. This white paper explores the limitations of existing benchmarks and shows how HGST uses validation testing against real-world applications
The greatest challenge in using MySQL is the issue of scalability – for business-critical data and mission-critical applications, this means exceptional performance, low latency, low power consumption and high durability. HGST s1100 Series PCIe accelerators offer advantages of speed and cost in comparison to the traditional costly and complex scale out architecture. This white paper
HGST opens out the SAS vs. SATA debate with robust, scalable, high endurance SAS SSDs which comparative testing shows deliver a superior solution with greater value for enterprise and Cloud applications. This white paper examines the differences and advantages of both SAS and SATA and includes performance analysis and applications within the enterprise.
Network functions virtualization (NFV) is an initiative driven by several dozen large (Communications Service Providers) CSPs that dramatically increases the use of virtualization and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems in their networks. Telecom infrastructure has long been a bastion of proprietary software running on purposebuilt hardware. NFV leverages IT technologies – including virtualization, standard servers, and open software – so
Symantec has established the most comprehensive source of Internet threat data in the world through the Symantec™ Global Intelligence Network, which is made up of more than 41.5 million attack sensors and records thousands of events per second. This network monitors threat activity in over 157 countries and territories through a combination of Symantec products
Cisco UCS™ Manager provides unified, embedded management of all software and hardware components of the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS) across multiple chassis and rack-mount servers and thousands of virtual machines. Cisco UCS Manager manages Cisco UCS as a single entity through an intuitive GUI, a command-line interface (CLI), or an XML API for
In small and midsize organizations, IT staff often wears many hats. This means that the same administrator who provisions the servers for a new environment also has to configure the required networking resources, as well as carve out storage volumes and configure the hypervisor.
To increase operating efficiency and business agility, chief information officers (CIOs) and IT managers are seeking to simplify their data centers and manage them more easily. Cisco UCS® Director automates end-to-end IT processes across virtualization, server, computing, network, and storage resources to help achieve these business goals.
MySQL, the most popular open source database in the world, is frequently used to support Web 2.0 applications and cloud deployments. Scaling MySQL can be a challenge when workload demand starts to strain the database. One option is to scale up by upgrading to a more powerful server, which works well to a certain point
