Is the FCoE Starting Pistol Aimed at iSCSI?

October 16, 2008 By Stephen 23 Comments

To hear this week's storage industry news reports, one might think that Wagner's fat lady came to Storage Networking World (SNW), singing her song as the iSCSI world collapses. Storagebod wonders what iSCSI's death will look like. Chris Mellor at The Register says "Game Over" as NetApp, QLogic, Emulex and VMware join EMC and Cisco in singing the praises of Fibre Channel over … [Read more...] about Is the FCoE Starting Pistol Aimed at iSCSI?

Grapples and Tangelos: Why it’s Impossible to Compare Fairly

August 28, 2008 By Stephen 6 Comments

I get the same questions all the time: Should I buy X or Y? Is Z better than Q? But as much as it sounds like a cop-out, I always answer, "well, this sounds like a cop-out, but that depends on what you're doing with it..." Now EMC's Chuck Hollis has (bravely) stuck his neck out to try to actually compare the capacity efficiency three storage arrays in a realistic way. Good … [Read more...] about Grapples and Tangelos: Why it’s Impossible to Compare Fairly
