Mark Jones, FCIA President, Director of Tech Marketing, Broadcom Limited It’s amazing to reflect on where Fibre Channel is today since the completion of the standard in 1994. From that time until now we have witnessed some amazing changes in the computing industry, no longer is there a single solution that fits all but continuous [...]
A technology’s heart and soul is its roadmap Author: Scott Kipp Just like the term suggests, a roadmap shows the story of a technology. It is a guide to where it has been, where it is, where it is going and when it is going to get there. The more accurate the roadmap, the more [...]
Rupin Mohan, Director R&D, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Introduction Storage has served as the core example of disruptive technologies in a paper by Prof. Clayton Christenson of Harvard Business School. Prof. Christenson practically invented the term “Disruptive Technologies” with his HBS paper “Disruptive Technologies, Catching the Wave” in 1995 using the disk storage drive industry as [...]
Mark Jones, FCIA President, Director of Tech Marketing, Broadcom Limited In early 2015, the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) announced the completion of a collection of new INCITS T11 standards referred to as Gen6 Fibre Channel. As the name suggests, Gen6 points to the sixth generation on the Fibre Channel roadmap fundamentally defining the single [...]
Author: Nishant Lodha, Product Marketing, QLogic Corp The Evolution of Disk and Fabric Ever since IBM shipped the world’s first hard disk drive (HDD), the RAMAC 305 in 1956, persistent storage technology has steadily evolved. In the early 1990s, various manufacturers introduced storage devices known today as flash-based or dynamic random access memory (DRAM)-based solid [...]
J Metz, R&D Engineer, Cisco Storage is hard. Well, doing storage right is hard. In fact, it’s more than just hard – it’s extremely difficult. Why? Because storage is the one part of the data center that is absolutely unforgiving. When you lose data, you don’t just lose a bit or a byte, you lose [...]
