It's also well known that Moore's Law is outstripping disk drive performance. As a result, servers and storage systems are unbalanced between CPU/controller capability and storage pool performance. The objective of modern system design is to rebalance the CPU-storage ecosystem while optimizing both low $/GB and $/IOPS. In this mediacast, we'll compare the cost, power consumption, random I/O and latency for DRAM, server flash and HDD.

Solid State Disks (SSD’s), alongside standard higher capacity Hard Disk Drive (HDD) storage. In addition, Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) capabilities are included in the platform as standard. These enhancements can help dramatically increase application performance, reduce response times and latency and improve manageability and deployment of new services.

send email attachments, these devices come equipped with hard disk drives and often run internal web servers. Whilst MFPs and printers have improved business productivity, they pose the same security risk as any networked device if left unprotected.

With reported data breaches on the rise and growing industry and regulatory requirements around information security, businesses may suffer financial and reputational damage if they ignore the risks of unsecured printing.

Network connectivity, along with hard disk and memory storage, means networked printers and multifunction peripherals (MFPs) are susceptible to the same security risks as any networked device. Without proper control, it is all too easy for sensitive or confidential information to fall into the wrong hands.

All storage is not the same, though. Disk drive characteristics vary dramatically. Individual disks can be combined into groups that enhance performance and redundancy. Diverse connectivity options support growing storage needs of local servers as well as networks and WANs. Disks are aggregated into sophisticated arrays to improve storage organization and consolidation. Additionally, storage resources can be virtualized to simplify storage management...

CIOs must prepare for IT 2.0

The status quo cannot continue. IT is a cost centre, and CEOs often believe IT is a necessary evil. Why does it cost so much to run an IT department? Why do so many projects fail to deliver? Such questions have dogged CIOs and IT directors for the past two decades. It is time IT stopped being a necessary...

This IDC Research white paper reveals the dynamics of understanding and utilizing cash flow.

Cash flow is almost universally considered a core component of good business management, however it's a difficult practice to learn and ever harder to master. Holding onto too much cash can mean that important investment opportunities aren't being made, but on the other side of the coin, having too little on hand can stall potentially profitable projects for lack of investment capital.
