Today’s Storage: Same As It Ever Was

July 7, 2015 By Stephen 1 Comment

Back From The Pile: May 30, 2009

June 1, 2009 By Stephen Leave a Comment

It was a week of HAM in the enterprise storage industry and angry arguments in the CloudCamp camp. But things looked up at the end with a productive discussion about backups. Google sent us a wave, but nobody was happy when GM threatened to collapse. Enterprise Storage HDS’ HAM-Fisted Announcement did not impress, with many wondering (So Long And Thanks For All The … [Read more...] about Back From The Pile: May 30, 2009
