It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming: Storage's coming home

Everyone seems to know the score... backups, benchmarks and more

Quite a few things happened in the land of storage this past week. When it came to hardware, there were a raft of substitutions in the second half, and we also saw the appearance of a new benchmark that hopes to punt real-world workloads past the goalie. There was also, of course, an attempt to win back precious possession of, er, Tintri. Clear away the beer cans and get ready to rack up some wins with a week in the world of mad flash and spinning rust.

Big Blue’s FlashSystem 9100 flash drive redesign IBM has a redesigned FlashSystem 9100 (FS9100) to offer the crowds... a go-faster and store-more redesign of the FlashSystem 900 (FS900) using proprietary or off-the-shelf small form factor NVMe drives.

The FS900 used IBM’s proprietary MicroLatency Flash modules with 12 of them fitting across the front of the FS900’s 2U enclosure.

These modules came in 3.6, 8.5 and 18TB capacities, using 32-layer Micron 3D-NAND TLC flash chips, and had a PCIe and NVMe protocol-class connection to the controller CPUs and DRAM.
