What is the impact of an all-flash array with enterprise features and reliability on the mainstream data center? In the mainstream environment, storage system reliability and consistency are as important as extreme performance. This lab report from Storage Switzerland details how the Dell All-Flash Array achieves this balance nicely, allowing you to do more with the same hardware while spending less time fine tuning the storage for performance.

For several years, Dell Compellent Storage Center arrays powered by Intel® Xeon® processors have leveraged a unique application of RAID and tiering methods to optimize storage performance and capacity. With the emergence of higher performing controllers, as well as the rapid adoption of SSDs, Dell has a new level of Data Progression optimized for flash drives. The combination of write- and read-intensive SSDs and Flash-optimized Data Progression enables Storage Center arrays to deliver large amounts of high-performance solid-state storage at a fraction of the cost compared to other storage solutions. To introduce Flash-optimized Data Progression, this white paper summarizes Dell's current Data Progression techniques, gives a high-level description of SSDs, and describes the implementation of Flash-optimized Data Progression.

Today’s schools face a serious data problem. The problem isn’t that there’s too little data flowing though schools — or even that there’s too much of it — but rather that its use is too limited to provide the actionable insights into student performance that educators need. Student data, as it exists now, lives mainly in isolated silos that are compiled in static, state- and district-mandated reports issued with irregular frequency. Since data is often not accessible enough to teachers or administrators, students typically can’t benefit from timely interventions that could result from a close analysis of their performance, problem areas, and the strategies they most respond to.

In an era when we challenge the status quo and institute new standards for teaching and learning, policy makers seek effective models. When we see success, we question how to take what works in that setting and recreate it in other places. The Science Leadership Academy, a partnership high school between the School District of Philadelphia and The Franklin Institute, has established a highly successful inquiry-driven, project-based high school, where more than 95% of graduates pursue some form of post-secondary education. The key to understanding what works at SLA is in the combination of pedagogy—having solid curriculum and methods that encourage students to learn how to learn—and commitment—shared beliefs and shared responsibility for success by all stakeholders. This white paper explores how SLA has built this successful teaching and learning model so that educators can replicate the model elsewhere.

By putting mobile devices into the hands of every student and teacher in their schools, districts open the door for a richer, more individualized educational experience. Learning is no longer confined to a desk and classroom. Teachers, now with a wealth of high quality resources at their fingertips, can design activities that push the boundaries of the traditional classroom, inspiring creativity, exploration and new discoveries. Discover some of the outcomes that Clear Creek ISD and Northwest ISD have seen since implementing their 1 to 1 initiatives with Dell tablets.
