VMworld 2016
Who Competes with VMware Now?
Blog by John Webster
Yesterday, September 7, 2016, the EMC² logo disappeared. It’s hard for me to imagine that one of the greatest tech marketing companies of all time is suddenly gone. Yes, I know it lives on under Dell Technologies as DellEMC, but the impressions I have of the two companies side by side are so disparate that I’m still having trouble seeing how one blends into the other.

Industry Insight: Data Protection - Evolving Solutions
In this report, Randy Kerns, Sr. Strategist, discusses the evolution of Data Protection Solutions. Transforming a data protection practice with the evolving technologies and solutions is difficult to achieve. Multiple solutions may need to be employed that represent a change to status quo. Funding and resources for making needed changes are difficult to acquire. Nevertheless, the need for implementing new technologies and solutions is evident. Making the transformation requires coupling the change with other, higher profile (and funded) projects, achieving an integrated environment for storage, access, and protection.
 
Tintri Storage Performance in Virtual Environments 
In this free report, we examine the performance and economic benefits of a storage system designed for virtual server and cloud environments (Tintri T5060 All-flash Array). Traditional storage management is focused on managing storage resource capacity and allocating those resources to multiple hosts. Performance, analytics and optimization of individual virtual machines or virtualized applications are typically outside the realm of storage management, particularly in cloud and heavily virtualized environments. This evaluation of Tintri Storage focuses on two areas: 1) virtual application performance and 2) overall infrastructure efficiency and ease of use.
