Mainstreaming Fast Flash Clusters For Fun And Profit
One of the common themes – and one could say even the main theme – of The Next Platform is that some of technologies developed by the high performance supercomputing centers (usually in conjunction with governments and academia), the hyperscalers, the big cloud builders, and a handful of big and innovative large enterprises eventually get hardened, commercialized, and pushed out into the larger mainstream of information technology. …

Dell EMC’s PowerMax is Now All NVM-Express, Persistent Storage
When Dell EMC more than a year ago introduced the PowerMax storage array as the successor to the company’s all-flash VMAX offerings, the company touted the system’s readiness to leverage the NVM-Express (NVMe) protocol and, more importantly, its ability to serve as a gateway to NVMe-over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) and storage-class memory (SCM), both of which would address the growing demand for better performance and latency. …

Broadening The Appeal Of Distributed NVM-Express Storage
NVM-Express has been creating a quiet revolution in servers for several years now, providing a way for flash storage to bypass the traditional storage stack and the limitations of interfaces such as SATA and SAS, and instead pipe data directly into and out of the CPU through the high-speed PCI Express bus. …
