How a provider uses VMware vSAN in a hyperconverged system . We talk about the infrastructure of the IaaS provider and dwell on the hyperconverged approach. We tell which companies it may be interesting for and how it works in practice. Next, we explain the role of vSAN (virtual storage area network) and talk about the deployment and resiliency of the technology in hyperconverged systems.
How to cool equipment in a data center - three new technologies . This is immersion cooling, AI systems and 3D printing. The main task is to increase the efficiency of iron maintenance. In the course of analyzing each of their technologies, we talk about what solutions are already on the market, who uses them, what benefits they bring to data center operators and what the technology will have in the future.
Servers for SAP: Major Platforms. This is an overview of the infrastructure components for deploying an SAP platform. We are talking about solutions of different vendors: from Cisco, HP and Dell EMC to ATOS, Fujitsu and Huawei; and dwells on the advantages and disadvantages of solutions when working with SAP. In addition to on-prem solutions, we briefly discuss the possibilities for deploying SAP in the cloud.
How Fortinet equipment protects corporate networks . Fortinet Security Fabric offers a network security architecture that combines the functionality of a firewall, VPN, IPS, application control systems, traffic filtering and antivirus. In the review, we take a detailed look at the technical specifications and capabilities of the Fortinet Network Security Factory.
FortiGate Firewall - FSTEC Certificate or New Software Version. In continuation of the topic we are talking about licensing and certification of FortiGate plus equipment, we dwell in detail on its compliance with Russian legislation in terms of working with personal data. We also consider changes in the updated OS - FortiOS 5.6.
NetApp A to Z: Technology Overview . The material will be useful to those who would like to get acquainted with the solutions of the vendor. We’ll tell you about twenty technologies and solutions, including ONTAP, FlexClone, MetroCluster, SnapLock and others.
How NetApp Solutions Are Used In Business . We analyze the cases of using technologies in a corporate environment: from disaster recovery and working with databases to Big Data and building a highly reliable IT infrastructure.
Top 4 storage upgrade recommendations. We give recommendations on how to modernize storage systems and improve the reliability of IT infrastructure. We are talking about the requirements for scalability, performance and availability, plus - the security and efficiency of data storage. We carry out the analysis on the example of NetApp All Flash FAS. Photos - Don DeBold - CC BY Magnetic tape in the 21st century - how it is used . Today, this drive is still in use. We talk about its advantages - durability, capacity and low cost of data storage - and give examples of the use of media in the activities of various organizations. Discussion: Will DNA Storage Become Massive
. DNA vaults have not yet appeared in "every home", but experts believe that this is only a matter of time. In this article, we give an overview of the market and the prospects of such storage systems - who creates DNA storages and why, how much it costs to record data on such a medium, which does not allow DNA storages to become mass. In addition, we talk about alternative solutions: nanostructures and magnetic storage devices.
Data is written to the disc using magnets and lasers . Here we will focus on technologies that in the future will replace the HDD. It is believed that new solutions will significantly increase the speed of data recording and reduce the cost of electricity. You will learn how the magneto-optical approach to recording data works, how to store data in grains of salt and encode information in five dimensions.
A selection of our cloud posts last summer . It contains materials and recommendations for those who would like to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of cloud infrastructure. You will find answers to questions on how to choose an IaaS provider and what you need to know about cloud security. On the example of cases of financial, medical and IT-kvgfybq we will tell how the cloud reduces costs, improves the efficiency of business processes and protects data.
What is the DevOps methodology and who needs it. This material answers popular questions about the DevOps methodology: what kind of approach it is, how to implement it, to whom it will benefit, and to whom - a headache. Here we understand why some criticize the DevOps philosophy, while others use it. In addition to this, we are talking about DevOps specialists and companies that “hunt” them. Additionally, we provide a list of resources for those who would like to master the approach.
