  • Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage
    Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage Published 17 September 2019 - ID G00394522 - 42 min read Next-generation primary storage arrays are being shaped by technologies such as NVMe, integration with public clouds and AIOps. I&O leaders must view future primary storage array investments as foundational to modernization and digital business transformation. Market Definition/Description The Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage covers vendors that offer dedicated products or product lines for solid-state arrays (SSAs), hybrid storage arrays or both. Hybrid storage arrays include both solid-state drive (SSD) and hard-disk drive (HDD) devices in their configurations. SSA products are 100% solid-state-technology-based systems that cannot be combined or expanded with any form of HDD. The Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage replaces two Magic Quadrants: the Magic Quadrant for Solid-State Arrays and the Magic Quadrant for General-Purpose Storage Arrays. Refer to “Gartner Revamps Storage Research With New Primary Storage Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities Research” for more information. This Magic Quadrant does not include companies participating in secondary/unstructured storage markets; for more details see “Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object Storage” and “Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions.” This Magic Quadrant does not evaluate vendor financial performance and product families that were made generally available after 31 May 2019. A primary storage array’s foremost purpose is to support response time and input/output per second (IOPS)-sensitive structured data workloads. Typical use cases include mission-critical workloads, mainstream database workloads and in-house-developed transactional applications. Other use cases include consolidation of virtualized applications, analytics, high-performance computing (HPC) and providing persistent storage for container environments.

  • Lenovo Truscale and Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Accelerate Enterprise Transformation
    Lenovo TruScale and Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Accelerate Enterprise Transformation Digital transformation is an enterprise imperative. Enabling that transformation is the focus of Lenovo’s TruScale data center infrastructure services. The combination of TruScale infrastructure services and Nutanix application services creates a powerful accelerant for enterprise transformation. Cloud is the Transformation Trigger Many enterprises are seeking to go to the cloud, or at least to gain the benefits associated with the cloud. These benefits include: pay-as-you-go operational costs instead of large capital outlays agility to rapidly deploy new applications flexibility to adapt to changing business requirements For many IT departments, the trigger for serious consideration of a move to the cloud is when the CFO no longer wants to approve IT acquisitions. Unfortunately, the journey to the cloud often comes with a loss of control over both costs and data assets. Thus many enterprise IT leaders are seeking a path to cloud benefits without sacrificing control of costs and data. TruScale Brings True Utility Computing to Data Center Infrastructure The Lenovo Data Center Group focused on the needs of these enterprise customers by asking themselves: What are customers trying to do? What would be a winning consumption model for customers? The answer they came up with is Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure Services. Nutanix invited DCIG analysts to attend the recent .NEXT conference. While there we met with many participants in the Nutanix ecosystem, including an interview with Laura Laltrello, VP and GM of Lenovo Data Center Services. This article, and DCIG’s selection of Lenovo TruScale as one of three Best of Show products at the conference, is based largely on that interview.

  • Make the Best Choice Between Hybrid Cloud NAS Architectures,DDN
    Make the Best Choice between Hybrid Cloud NAS Architectures Organizations of all sizes want to incorporate the cloud as part of their networked attached storage (NAS) strategy. Using hybrid cloud NAS solutions, they obtain the performance of on- premises storage with the virtually unlimited scalability of cloud storage. However, not all organizations have the same file storage needs. This has resulted in the emergence of at least three hybrid cloud NAS architectures to meet these various organizational needs. Hybrid Cloud NAS Architectures Hybrid cloud NAS providers make their solutions available in one or more of the following three configurations for the on- premises portion of the solution. Physical Storage Appliance An organization acquires a pre-integrated hybrid cloud NAS hardware appliance equipped with the needed hardware and software. The vendor may provide the appliance or sell it through an OEM such as Cisco, Dell, Lenovo, or HPE. An organization installs it, connects it to a cloud storage provider, and configures its file management policies. Organizations will find multiple providers that each offer multiple physical storage appliance models in this space. Examples of solutions that organizations should consider include: CTERA HC and XC Series iXsystems TrueNAS M, R, and X-Series IBM FlashSystem Qumulo P-Series StorONE All-Flash Array.next Tintri IntelliFlash H, T, and N-Series Virtual Storage Appliance In this configuration, a provider ships its NAS solution as a virtual appliance. This virtual appliance installs as a virtual machine (VM) on a physical machine with a hypervisor (Microsoft HyperV, VMware vSphere, etc.). Some virtual appliances can also deploy to a dedicated server without a separate hypervisor.
