Tucci, chief executive of EMC (nyse: EMC - news - people ), was in New York to unveil the latest generation of EMC's flagship data-storage system, called Symmetrix DMX.
With the amount of digital data in data centers growing annually and storage budgets highly constrained open source storage system designs can fill an important niche for data centers and IT people comfortable with installing and maintaining their own hardware.
The product includes new levels of security, data protection, interoperability and system performance to extend EMC Isilon storage to a broader range of big data applications.
Sun's announcement marks the information technology industry's latest step toward "utility computing, " a grid system in which companies pipe in data processing and storage from faraway server farms, says Nicholas Carr, author of The Big Switch, a book on utility computing published earlier this week.
So a customer might have an EMC or IBM storage system, and our solutions can virtualize even across the data in those systems.
FORBES: Names to Know in Big Data: Hitachi Data Systems (HDS)
With a storage system that intelligently organizes, archive and retrieves all this data, the project group was able to conduct analysis in half the time compared to its previous system.
Using a combination of HDD and flash memory in either a hybrid HDD or a dual storage notebook computer, where frequently used data (and possibly the operating system and application software) is kept in the flash memory, while the bulk of user content is kept on the HDD, has been shown to provide about 80% of the performance improvements of a pure SSD-based computer.
Puppet Labs is the developer of Puppet, software that applies declarative programming to the task of system administration of compute, network, and storage infrastructure in traditional data centers or in the cloud.
FORBES: Why Adopting the Declarative Programming Practices Will Improve Your Return from Technology
The development and implementation of new storage and memory architectures, combined with evolved storage system management can play an important role in controlling the growth of data center power use even as the total amount of content in data centers grows.
Designing and implementing shared IT services involves moving existing and new services to the cloud (both government or commercial hosting) to increase service elasticity, reduce system equipment footprints, free IT organizations from the expensive work of data center storage, maintenance, backup and recovery burdens.
FORBES: From CIA to OMB, Federal Government Gets Serious About Cloud
Powered by Intel's reliable high performance desktop chipset, this system supports up to 16GB of DDR3 1333 RAM and up to 1TB of data storage.
ENGADGET: MediawavePC's MW6110 is a multipurpose Intel Core i7-supporting media player
Evernote acts like an online personal organiser, with users able to save data such as video clips, images, web pages, notes and itineraries in an external storage system commonly known as the cloud.
Potential participants include users and producers of systems and components for telecommunications carriers, Internet exchanges, financial markets, data centers, multiple system operators (MSOs) networking systems, high-performance computing, network storage and servers and other individuals interested in future IEEE 802.3 Ethernet wireline standards.
The company also presented data from a SNIA SSSI total cost of ownership (TCO) calculator showing that a high performance storage system using the 710 series SSDs would be considerably cheaper in terms of overall costs (including operating expenses) than a HDD array using high performance HDDs.
FORBES: New Technology and Investment Opportunities at the 2011 Intel Developers Forum
New storage systems are increasing using flash memory for system acceleration, such as faster transaction processing and data base searches.
Getting to that stage might mean combining self-assembly methods with lithography, or doing away with the head that reads the data-packed disk and instead creating a self-assembling solid-state system on the model of Flash memory storage used today.
But the Deluxe model also includes 32 GB of internal storage (the Basic only has 8 GB, and roughly 4 GB of that is earmarked for system data), a Wii U GamePad charging cradle, a Wii U GamePad stand and a Wii U console stand.
