StorageNewsletter.com, Tuesday, December 12,2023
During this year's IT Press Tour in Madrid, DataCore Software Corp. unveiled several technological advancements scheduled to be released in January 2024 with SANsymphony version 10.0 PSP17 and Swarm version 16.
The new capability in SANsymphony block storage software, called 'Adaptive Data Placement', builds on over 2 decades of work in storage virtualization. This development addresses critical storage allocation concerns that IT teams have been facing for many years: - 10% of organizational data typically drives 90% of I/O operations; and this 10% is constantly shifting in importance in terms of data access frequency. Keeping the remaining 90% of infrequently accessed data from consuming valuable, high-performance resources poses its own set of challenges. IT admins must often choose between optimizing for performance or capacity, usually at the expense of the other.
