Consumability – What Does It Mean?

SuperComputing all the way

Here it is Thursday at SC17 and I haven't yet blogged.  This is due to the extreme number of meetings, which is fantastic! This year, one of our competitors FINALLY decided to join us in commercial support for ARMv8a based systems, although, I must say their support seems a little lacking compared to ours […]

They asked a question, and after investigating for a period of time said, "Make it so!"  What exactly did Lenovo do?  They certified a Ceph based storage solution with SAP for HANA TDI deployments!

In the past, I setup a PXE server to handle my BIOS based x86 environment, but given that we are now in a multi-architecture environment that supports both X86_64 and ARMv8 platforms with both BIOS and EFI, […]

Doctor Strange the Storage Guru?

We've tried everything.  There's just no curing the injury we've received from the information explosion.  Gone are the days of the fine art of carefully excising small bits of useless data.  We've explored the latest and greatest from the traditional vendors, but nobody has a holistic answer.
