The document describes the next generation of the Radius portable workstation, which features a quad-core or six-core CPU, up to 48GB of RAM, integrated and optional touchscreen displays up to 1920x1200 resolution, removable and fixed internal hard drives for storage, up to 7 PCI slots for expansion, and measures 5.94" x 13.94" x 16.8".
The StorTrends 2401i is a 2U Dual Dialect IP-SAN and NAS Storage Solution featuring SAS or SATA Drives for up to 24 TB of physical storage capacity, with the fullfeatured version of StorTrends iTX 2.7 Data Storage Software.
For organizations with rack-mount servers, the IBM 7226 Multimedia Storage Enclosure provides reliable and flexible data backup and security in the data center. With high-speed, serial-attached SCSI (SAS), USB and Fibre Channel (FC) interface options, as well as compatibility with a range of storage devices, the 7226 Multimedia Storage Enclosure can help protect data on critical IBM Power Systems™.
The IBM System Storage® TS7650G ProtecTIER® Deduplication Gateway is designed to meet the disk-based data protection needs of the enterprise data center while enabling significant infrastructure cost reduc-tions. The solution offers industry-leading inline deduplication perfor-mance and scalability up to 1 petabyte (PB) of physical storage capacity per system that can provide up to 25 PB or more backup storage capacity. Combined with IBM or third-party storage, the TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway provides a powerful disk-based repository to improve the performance, retention and availability of backup and archive data.

The bottleneck in flash storage is often the interface. SAS/SATA interfaces were designed specifically for hard disk drives not for flash media. For example, flash storage can support many more simultaneous I/O operations. The resolution to the problem is to use a different interface, one that is higher throughput and is more directly accessible from the CPU. Leveraging one of these interfaces and extracting optimal performance from the flash media means leaving the confines of the SCSI protocol with customized proprietary drivers. The result is complexity and slow innovation.

IBM System x3850 X5 Technical PresentationCliff Kinard
Detailed technical overview of a IBM's System x3850 x5 Intel processor-based server.
The x3850 X5 server allows freedom of choice with extremely flexible configurations plus memory expansion capabilities. A modular building block design lets you customize your system for current needs while providing the ability to react to changing workloads. Expand your 4-socket, 64-DIMM x3850 X5 to 4 sockets and 96 DIMMs or up to 8 sockets and 128 DIMMs. Reallocate resources as your environment changes. The x3850 X5 meets your needs today, while providing an easy, cost-effective upgrade path to change your environment when you’re ready.
I have been using Macintosh computers for 32 years and have accumulated over 50 Macs from the 1985 Mac 512k to a 2-year-old Mac Mini. If I had purchased all of these, I would have spent over $140,000 and probably be single. Friends have given me most of them. Recently, I decided to clear out some and refine my collection. I’m finding out that many don’t work anymore, most due to failed hard drives, power supplies or other electrical components. I have also accumulated over 800 floppy disks of software and data, again many of which are failing.
In this discussion, I will present my methods of dealing with this old technology. I will review my techniques of archiving old floppies, creating image files to restore from and managing the collection to find what I have. I will also discuss some new replacement hardware such as a floppy disk emulator and a SCSI controller that can store thousands of floppy images on a micro-SD card and replace the failed drives. In addition, I will provide information on methods to repair the old failed hardware and Mac OS emulation.
