With the tech market eyeing Nvidia, storage vendors find ways to carve out relationships, with Dell going all in.
Legacy storage vendors building out managed as-a-service portfolios are now introducing a new offering: a customer-supervised option. Dell Technologies added a new purchase option for Apex Data Storage services earlier this month. The customer-managed option lets customers purchase storage systems, capacity and other support subscriptions without the management and day-to-day performance oversight by Dell employees or contractors. Like the vendor-managed option, the customer-managed variant has Dell or its partners install and own the hardware ...

Enterprise data trends are forcing storage vendors to develop products that seamlessly tie on-premises storage to multiple clouds. Flash and data management loom large in the coming year.
Enterprise-ready cloud file storage continues to gain attention, and several vendor products introduced offerings last week that address cost and data security. File storage in the cloud initially was based on object storage, and while that remains a well-used deployment, it has limitations. Cloud providers AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure all provide file instances, but those systems do not easily scale.

External storage systems are all-but-obsolete in the software-defined era. At least that’s the fable shared repeatedly across the industry.

Similar to the “tape is dead” mantra and the predicted demise of Fibre Channel, legacy storage array vendors continue to hold their own, combining with original design manufacturers (ODMs) to ship nearly 114 exabytes of capacity last quarter, according to the latest tracking ...
