Intelligent Storage: Intel IT is transitioning to an enterprise private cloud that will support our office and enterprise computing applications. This cloud is based on virtualized infrastructure accessing shared pools of storage through storage area networks (SANs).

Intelligent Storage: Data growth is not only driving up storage costs, but also transforming performance and efficiency requirements for storage systems. IDC estimated that in 2011, the amount of information created and replicated would surpass 1.8 zettabytes (1.8 trillion gigabytes) — growing by a factor of nine in just five years. This digital data is […]

Intelligent Storage: This paper examines the size and status of the worldwide market for high-performance computing (HPC) storage systems, along with evolutionary trends affecting this market. The paper also looks at Intel and Xyratex as examples of vendors at the forefront of key trends with technology to benefit from the IDC-forecasted robust growth of the […]

Intelligent Storage: RAID running at the speed of Intel Xeon processors How things have changed! 10 years ago we told you that software RAID (redundant array of independent disks) was underpow- ered and incapable of providing the perfor- mance required to service enterprise RAID applications. Back then, software RAID was just not a viable solution. […]

Intelligent Storage: Hitachi branded components include Intel Xeon processor based Hitachi CB500 blade chassis and a choice of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP), Hitachi Unified Storage VM (HUS VM), or Hitachi Unified Storage150 (HUS 150). Intel has rearchitected the Xeon family to add the specific capabilities needed for today’s IT storage problems, enabling the energy […]

Intelligent Storage: You would have to live under a pretty large rock to be completely unaware of the “Intel Inside” marketing and branding campaign. But the breadth of Intel’s intent and capability to be “inside” might come as something of a surprise. After all, this paper has both scale-out storage and Intel Architecture (IA) in […]

Intelligent Storage: Intel Xeon processors help scale-out-storage solutions with energy-efficient performance, more data protection, greater scalability.

Transforming Storage – Episode 1 – When terrorists tried to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993, Wall Street started to seriously worry about the safety of their financial data. The moment marks a shift in thinking about the capabilities of storage. Financial executives wanted their data mirrored in a distant location and available […]

Intelligent Storage: Rite Aid deployed two Hitachi Data Systems HUS 130 storage arrays to provide a highly automated and flexible technology solution. Powered by Intel Xeon processor LC3528, these devices provide a reliable foundation for data archiving and disaster recovery needs moving forward.

Intelligent Storage: To create patient-oriented “digital hospitals,” China seeks to implement a unified national hospital information system (HIS) platform, applying advanced network and digital technologies to hospitals and relevant medical fields.
