In this Showcase article presented by Quantum, Justin Warren discusses how Quantum Myriad is changing the game in modern storage. Quantum has carefully looked at AI and the workloads its target customers want to run, and how they function today with current technologies and approaches. Myriad is the result of careful balancing of competing requirements, and navigating constraints that exist in the real, commercial world, not just in the theory of sometimes outdated benchmarks. It is worth exploring for customers with large-scale NFS file storage needs, especially where low-latency is the requirement.

In this Commvault Shift article presented by Commvault, Justin Warren how Commvault Cloud is a progressive move for the company and how it is attacking Cyber Resiliency. The vision of the future Commvault describes is one that data protection teams have long wanted. The threat of ransomware has moved data protection from a nice-to-have to a must-have in the minds and budgets of senior management. The technology and techniques of cloud, virtual machines, workload portability, and rapid recovery now make things possible we only dreamed of in the days of low-bandwidth data movers and tape. To realize this dream, customers will need assistance from Commvault in moving from their existing approach to the somewhat radical idea of continuous recovery. Enterprises are complex beasts, and while Commvault’s claims to support any workload and recover them to anywhere are nice, the practical realities of doing so will still need to be explained. Customers need step-by-step plans, showing them how to get from where they are to where they want to be. A glorious destination is of little use if there is no navigable path to get there. It will remain time-consuming and sometimes difficult work, but Commvault has described a place we would all prefer to be.

In this Cloud Field Day Tech Note presented by Forward Networks, Justin Warren discusses that in today’s climate, enterprises need to be equipped to handle a diversity of environments without being constantly bamboozled by complexity. An eye to distinguish necessary and valuable variation from the insecure or dangerous ones helps build this ability. With its high-fidelity observability, Forward Networks helps them get the benefits of the new and the old, without making security an impossible task.

Adding more complex and powerful tools allows we as humans to apply greater leverage; a single human can accomplish much more with a good set of tools than that same human can with just their bare hands. Data management is no different. In this post, Justin Warren looks at the tools NetApp has created for that task with NetApp Fabric Orchestrator.
