IDC Whitepaper: The Benefits of Datacenter Transformation with HP
IDC expects that for the next several years, there will be considerable

goals in this new IDC White Paper.

Ken Mingis: My new SSD died, dare I try another?

Why IT should start throwing data away
It can be a storage nightmare: Given expanding regulatory requirements and the
key role that electronic records now play in lawsuits, some enterprises are

Seagate drives hit by firmware glitch
A UK data recovery specialist has warned that users are still at risk from a

Microsoft: Windows 7 is faster on SSDs, with two caveats
Microsoft today gave a strong, though qualified, endorsement for running Windows

run faster on the still-emerging storage technology.

Sun storage system delivers high performance
Sun's latest addition to its high-end enterprise storage repertoire -- the
iSCSI-based Sun Storage 7410 Unified Storage System -- is certainly a
high-performance offering, but we found some usability and some integration
issues.
