Storage

Cisco and Cloudian have partnered to create an integrated scale-out Enterprise Object Storage solution, with Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers running Cloudian HyperStore software. This new Cisco Validated Design (CVD) solution is available today to support data-driven enterprises manage the exponential growth in data volume.

Cisco HyperFlex continues to see great adoption in large enterprise data centers - from the busiest port in the world to one of the largest global oil & gas firms.

As Cisco and our strong channel partner community lead market transitions and enable customers to embrace and capture new opportunities with digital transformation, the solutions we deliver grow increasingly complex.  While accelerating partner growth is foundational to Cisco’s business model, simplification is increasingly important for our customers, and in the offerings and execution for our channel partners.

Cisco and IBM created VersaStack to help IT organizations simplify and speed the deployment of infrastructure and applications. The beauty of Cisco and IBM’s joint solution is that it integrates and validates the very latest compute, network, storage, and software technologies from both companies into proven solutions. This innovation engine helps VersaStack offer the foundation […]

Modern companies need to move quick. And to do so, they need things to be streamlined.

History regularly repeats itself. Sometimes it’s exciting and other times not so much. A current market transition I’m excited about happens to be occurring across the entire data center touching compute, storage, and networking. It’s the shift to shared nothing architectures and it takes me back to my studies on high performance computing and how […]

Earlier this month we introduced our new Cisco UCS S-Series Storage Servers, with the S3260 being first in market. The S Series is a new storage-optimized server category in the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (UCS) portfolio designed specifically to address the needs of data intensive workloads such as Big Data, and for deploying software-defined storage, […]

Last week, I discussed the economics of on-premises storage using the S3260 Storage Server vs. the cloud. Net net, the S3260 is 56% less expensive. Today, I wanted to talk about server consolidation of multiple 2RU rackmount servers on to a S3260. Yes, I’m going to try and sell you fewer servers. 2RU rackmount server […]
