Storage Solutions: NVMe Explained If you don’t need NVMe now, you eventually will. Do you want to learn more about NVMe and how this access and transfer protocol for flash and solid-state drives (SSDs) offers the highest throughput and fastest response times, making...
If you don’t need NVMe now, you eventually will. Storage is all about data—saving and retrieving information. For years, hard drives comprised of spinning disks met both business and consumer needs for preserving data. However, applications grow larger and more...
From DAS to NAS to SANs: the Evolution of Storage Configurations A refresher course on the different configurations for storage can be useful. In the old days, things were simpler, though they didn’t seem so at the time. There was just direct-attached storage or DAS....
Distributed storage arose to meet a growing array of needs confronting enterprises. We’ve long known that data is the lifeblood of our businesses. Leveraging data is how we prosper and grow. Yet, how do we keep our data safe and private? We need to safeguard our...
As the IT environment evolves, meeting storage needs demands new strategies. In the old days, most enterprise data was generated on-site and centrally stored in the data center. The edge of the network was defined by firewalls and was limited to the physical confines...

![Serverless Computing (FaaS) vs Containers [ A 2022 Guide ]](https://www.acnc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/serverless-faas-vs-containers-when-to-pick-which-400x250.jpeg)
Serverless Computing vs Containers Serverless storage falls under the rubric of a relatively new technology known as serverless computing. Serverless computing doesn’t replace containers, any more than containers replaced virtual machines (VMs). They all have their...
It’s the end of the year and time to let 2021 inform us as to what we might expect in 2022. We’re leaving another year that disrupted how we conduct business and store and process data. Thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, more employees at both large and...
Few predicted the events and tumult of 2020 and few predict how 2021 will finally shape up, but when it comes to storage-related developments, there’s a bit more clarity. Here are some forecasts for data storage trends of 2021 and beyond. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)...
2019 is upon us, which means it’s time to take note of trends in the storage industry. Here are five worth considering. NVMe over Fabrics is hot! Nonvolatile Memory Express (NVMe) greatly speeds communications between a host and solid-state storage. It replaces SCSI,...
At the beginning of every year, it’s customary to pull out the crystal ball and project trends for the new year. Often, however, promising solutions fail to catch on because of reasons like their technologies are not yet mature or economics still favor other strategies. With that said, below are some trends that we’re confident are good bets for 2017.
It’s the start of a new year and time for pundits to predict what we can expect in the storage market going forward. Let’s touch upon some of the more prominent trends. SSDs versus HDDs Foremost, of course, is the inexorable adoption of SSDs by both the consumer and...
