Nimble Storage Rolls Out an All-Flash Array

February 24, 2016 By Stephen 1 Comment

As of today, there's one more all-flash storage array on the market: Nimble Storage convened a big San Francisco shindig to roll out their own "AF" array, complete with lots of XtremIO and Pure Storage comparisons. Finally, Nimble no longer has to suffer the competitive digs and nasty rumors about this missing product, but there's a lot more to this launch than an array sans … [Read more...] about Nimble Storage Rolls Out an All-Flash Array

EMC XtremIO Upgrade is Non-Disruptive to Customers

October 7, 2014 By Stephen 9 Comments

EMC's XtremIO is crapping on the badge; it's an immature ball of destruction that shows how much architecture matters. Or so my favorite storage bloggers say.

Let's start with the hardware: DataGravity just introduced a pretty ordinary storage array aimed at the fat middle of … [Read more...] about Why is DataGravity Such a Big Deal?

Why SanDisk + Fusion-io = Awesome

June 17, 2014 By Stephen Leave a Comment

The storage industry was abuzz yesterday with news that SanDisk will buy Fusion-io for $1.1 billion. Lots of folks seem confused by this, but I think that's because they don't know who SanDisk really are. After having been exposed to both companies' management, products, and strategy, I think this is a great fit and excellent news for the storage industry. SanDisk Is More … [Read more...] about Why SanDisk + Fusion-io = Awesome
