KEY TAKEAWAYS Spectre—Intel’s feature / bug—has created a security vulnerability that can affect storage. Architectures with shared systems—namely hyperconverged infrastructures—suffer from the most performance degradation and patching pain. Tintri is unaffected by Spectre and offers per-VM QoS to permanently resolve…
KEY TAKEAWAYS Combining compute and storage in the same hardware with conventional HCI comes at a price. Performance troubleshooting on a tightly coupled and distributed architecture is a big challenge. Failures can have a much higher impact, increasing risk. Conventional…
KEY TAKEAWAYS HCI may fail to deliver the predictable performance enterprises need today. As with capacity, the IOPS potential of flash SSDs can be wasted. Latencies may be unpredictable at load and enabling new features can be a further drain.…
KEY TAKEAWAYS Enterprise customers who have experimented with conventional HCI have uncovered some unexpected gotchas that add to infrastructure costs. Beware of the “HCI tax” -- buying both storage AND compute when you only need one resource or the other.…
Autonomous operation is the new buzzword in all-flash storage but can your infrastructure really run without manual intervention? Tintri has the answer. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why all-flash storage players are using the word autonomous Autonomous operations require multiple components to work together…
Key Takeaways vDisk granular analytics across multiple hypervisors should be top of customers’ evaluation criteria as they refresh their storage. Customers need all three types of analytics—built-in vDisk-level auto-tuning, on-prem real-time analytics and cloud-based predictive analytics—to focus on business needs…
