Real Time Compression Advances Storage Optimization

It should come as no surprise that storage budgets are constantly under pressure from opposing forces: On one hand, economic forces are pushing budgets to either stay flat or in many cases shrink as a percentage of a company's revenue. On the other hand, the infrastructure struggles to keep up with the pace of data growth, pressured by many variables, both social and economic. Businesses have no choice but to acclimate their storage infrastructure to the unprecedented levels at which data is growing.

A Comparison of IBM’s Flex System Environments to Traditional Blade Architectures

In this Research Report, Clabby Analytics takes a closer look at IBM's Flex System converged architecture. The new Flex System's advanced blade offering shines compared to its closest rival: traditional blade architecture. Flex System offers superior manageability, faster communications, more storage capacity (using up to eight internal solid state drives SSDs per compute node) and better storage management - as well as broader/better physical/virtual system management - than all of today's leading blade competitors.

How Cisco’s UCS Compares to Flex System

Two years ago Clabby Analytics wrote a report that evaluated Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) and revealed shortcomings in the UCS design, stating that Cisco blade environments are "good enough" computing environment. Since then Cisco made improvements to their system design, but the blade market didn't stand still waiting for them to catch up as IBM announced a new system design: The IBM Flex System. Continue on to this new assessment from Clabby Analytics that compares Cisco's UCS blade server offering to IBM Flex System's in a soup-to-nuts evaluation. Also find out how these two major players compare to the competitors in the blade marketplace.
