A week of cloud computing feast storage Industry Events

Cloud computing is more than just a slogan, although many manufacturers advertise their products under the guise of "cloud computing", just as the concept of cloud computing is emerging. However, with the deepening of cloud computing, some mainstream manufacturers of unremitting efforts, land has continued to have some cloud-ready products or solutions available, and with the deepening of the cloud computing process, manufacturers are also trying to integrate their products, towards the direction of cloud computing.

EMC joins partners in cloud storage

EMC is aggressively expanding its Velocity service Provider program, adding more layers to help cloud service providers deliver differentiated services, while also enabling traditional solution providers to leverage the services offerings of EMC and its service providers.

Currently, EMC is ready to increase the number of partners in the Velocity Service Provider program project by twice times, inviting not only EMC partners to join the project, but also open the door to partners who are actively applying for membership.

EMC is looking for more partners and is committed to providing the participants with a solution and Reference Architecture for backup, service and storage-as-service (SaaS). Where EMC works with oxygen Cloud to provide secure cloud storage for SaaS solutions.

EMC, in addition to diligent "Wei Gong", is trying to improve its internal strength, and just last week, EMC News said it would buy security software vendor Silver Tail Bae. According to EMC, Silver Tail BAE will be incorporated into EMC's RSA Enterprise Information Security Division, and its network fraud detection and Behavior analysis technology will be used to improve EMC's identity protection and authentication software.

For enterprises, the site's security vulnerabilities are no longer a problem will not occur, but when the problem occurred. For financial institutions, online retailers and government websites, a security breach on a website could lead to attacks, theft of accounts and fraud. At this point, the discovery of suspicious network behavior is critical.

Silver Tail BAE's network fraud detection and Behavior analysis technology is based on large data and network, which enables it to quickly determine malicious behavior on the network. Large data is critical to discovering a pattern of behavior on a large scale, and the technology used in the field of network security means that suspicious behavior can be detected and eliminated in real time throughout the system.

The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.

In addition, according to foreign media reports, EMC is currently developing a vnx2--Flash and disk storage array, said its IOPS will reach more than millions, but EMC did not confirm the news. For more details on EMC VNX2, refer to: "Opponents looking to do EMC research and development VNX2 will reach 1 million ioPS", Link: http://storage.it168.com/a2012/1101/1416/000001416361.shtml

Attack Big Data Intel Nanjing Cloud Create a total push machine

Cloud computing, big Data and mobile informatization are hot topics in recent years, and Intel, the industry's undisputed giant, is naturally an indispensable market for Intel. In the area of cloud computing, Intel's X86 architecture occupies a pivotal position, which can be said to be "without me". In storage, though, Intel has made it clear that it will not, but that does not mean that Intel will "stand on the sidelines" and instead be actively involved in promoting the continued progress of the storage industry.

Earlier, in large data, Intel had a Hadoop release to help users better integrate Hadoop with X86 for more efficient, large data analysis. This is not finished, before that, Intel also cooperated with Nanjing Cloud, launched a data Cube cloud computing machine for large data analysis market.

According to the data, the integrated machine uses the Intel Xeon E5 processor, and integrates the Intel Data Center management technology and the Nanjing Cloud to create the independent intellectual property right distributed cloud computing database and the data cube software, has successfully solved the massive data fast indexing and the query question, causes the Bai record level data to be able the second level processing

How to efficiently store and manage large data and find the information that the enterprise needs in large data, and thus bring new business opportunities, has become a global focus. Specific to the enterprise, with the development of information, enterprises need to deal with the data is explosive growth, data volumes have reached the TB level, PB-class, which brought a series of problems. With the increase of data quantity, the load of the system is more and more large, and the performance of data warehousing and querying decreases. Without increasing the cost of hardware, how to give full play to the maximum performance of the system, so that the storage, query speed is the most difficult problem for many enterprises.

By Intel (China) Co., Ltd. and Nanjing Cloud Chong Storage Technology Co., Ltd. to develop the data Cube cloud computing integrated machine, to overcome the existing cloud computing solutions in the data processing methods caused by waste of system resources, data processing time of the shortcomings, to provide an effective real-time processing of large quantities of data equipment, To make maximum use of the computer hardware equipment, through an efficient parallel execution mode, so that the query achieved real-time completion, easy-to-use, high reliability and security efficiency, successfully solved the massive data fast indexing and query problems.

Flash Market: Competition among vendors continues to be fierce

The magic of Flash is becoming increasingly apparent, and if you use Flash, it's hard to get rid of the flash. As performance requirements for IT systems are increasing, traditional storage devices can hardly meet these ongoing requirements. The read advantage of flash memory just can provide the performance that the user needs. And with the flash shipments of further promotion, its price is gradually "pro-people", the cost factors to users of large-scale application of the constraints are increasingly small. On the other hand, due to the bright future of Flash, more and more manufacturers began to join, making the flash market increasingly fierce competition.

According to the use of flash memory can be divided into two categories, one is inserted in the storage array, and automatic layering technology, as a fast storage layer or cache layer, the other is plugged into the server, as the cache layer, because it is close to the CPU, so the performance is faster. At present, many manufacturers are biased to provide a second solution, such as FUSION-IO,EMC Vfcache and LSI Nytro products and so on.

But Dell does not seem to value this internal-server flash product, which believes that the use of flash memory for storage arrays may be more based, that is, used as primary storage. Dell acquired RNA NX technology last year and is currently working on RNA technology, or will be used in Dell's storage products in 2013.

OCZ to enter the enterprise-level SSD market

Compared with the enterprise-class flash market, it seems that the consumer-level flash market is more competitive, in addition to Intel, the United States and Samsung, such as Flash big outdoor, there are a variety of flash brands. If you put yourself in your shoes, it may be easy to understand why, although OCZ has a good reputation in the consumer-level SSD market, profits are still meager and have to be transferred to a slightly better corporate-level market.

OCZ is now making a big adjustment, OCZ's founder and chief executive, Ryan Petersen, resigned this September. Schmitt, who took office in October, quickly and quietly laid off nearly 200 employees, and 150 product distributions were canceled, eliminating 80% of OCZ's so-called value products, now focused on mainstream and high-end consumer products, as well as enterprise-class and OEM products.

OCZ has previously released a PCIe SSD product, but it still faces the consumer-grade high-end market. Previously, OCZ released Vertex 4 products, still consumer-grade products, but it has revealed the desire to enter the enterprise-level market. And this big adjustment, can be said is OCZ cut the budget, enter the enterprise-class market prelude just. For more information OCZ, please refer to: "OCZ downsizing and slimming into high-end enterprise market", Link: http://storage.it168.com/a2012/1105/1417/000001417478.shtml

Mei Guang acquisition of Seoul da

According to foreign media, Japan's Tokyo court in Wednesday approved the United States and light technology to the acquisition of Seoul, and rejected the bondholders submitted by the candidate plan, so that the plan to take a big step forward.

Although Delphi has become the only remaining DRAM chip manufacturer in Japan, the falling price of computer chips and the intensification of competition still cause Seoul to be in a bad condition and eventually go bankrupt. Thanks to the weakness of the PC industry and the loss of us-light technology, the company hopes to achieve greater economies of scale and made an offer to Seoul earlier this year. Through the deal, the company will become the world's second-largest DRAM chip maker after Samsung. For more details on this acquisition, please refer to: "US light acquisition of Seoul: Into the world's second largest DRAM manufacturer", Link: http://storage.it168.com/a2012/1105/1417/000001417473.shtml
