Intel continues to churn out reference platforms for what it calls personal clouds, Atom-based storage used by SMBs to manage the dramatic growth of critical files, e-mail and media and consumers for their music, movies, photos, e-books and videos.
Besides local and remote access, the widgets offer centralized backup and restore, video security, sharing, video playback and streaming, compliance and hardware acceleration.
They're now being built around the Atom D2550 and D2500 and content can be shared anytime across smartphones, tablets, notebooks and Ultrabooks.

The widgets support multiple file transfer protocols and various operating systems. McAfee AV SDK and VirusScan give small businesses protection against data corruption and virus attacks. And businesses with video surveillance systems can now attach up to two monitors to a single platform-based storage device and view up to four camera feeds that feature HD-quality clarity via the HTTP extension.
The devices come with either four drives (RAID 5) or two drives (RAID). The first sells for around $500 and second for maybe $300.
Asustor, QNAP, and Thecus launched solutions on these platforms this week, with other companies launching in the near future. The software ecosystem gets a boost with support from companies such as Mpstor and Dane-Elec that have developed an optimized storage stack for small-business customers.
Intel figures about 2.75 million of the things have sold but estimates growth potential anywhere from 35%-90%. It can use the hard sell: 93% of companies whose data centers go down for 10 days file for bankruptcy within a year.

By Liz McMillan It is no secret that one of the main challenges for applications in the cloud is storage performance. The storage performance problem in the cloud has multiple facets. It is not just low vs. high performance, but also the fact that performance varies over time and one customer can impact the performance of others. There is also the issue of storage performance monitoring. How does one know if an application is running slow because of storage performance or because of other factors like networkin...Oct. 6, 2012 12:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,049 |
By Pat Romanski Are you aware of the new reality that cloud computing is bringing to bear? Cloud is not as global as you might think.
The global acceptance of cloud computing has caused a spike in demand for multi-national cloud capability. As a result, cloud companies are facing an intimidating next step – expanding to new international markets. The Netherlands is the leading cloud hub in Europe that can address this process specific to transatlantic cloud expansion and how to intelligently establish the hig...Oct. 6, 2012 11:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,028 |
