Achieving higher IOPS for NAS at Reasonable CostTyrone Systems
A well-known TV content provider sought a storage solution for their production house; while everyone offered SAN solutions which was beyond their budget, Netweb Technologies’ Tyrone Opslag FS2 NAS solution turned out to fulfill their requirements in a cost effective manner.
Renowned film media company posed a unique challenge to Netweb Technologies for upgrading their NAS environment to higher capacity and to deliver very high IOPS without increasing the costs by much; Netweb provided the solution through SSD Caching.

The ever increasing challenge to process and extract value from exploding data with AI and analytics workloads makes a memory centric architecture with disaggregated storage and compute more attractive. This decoupled architecture enables users to innovate faster and scale on-demand. Enterprises are also increasingly looking towards object stores to power their big data & machine learning workloads in a cost-effective way. However, object stores don’t provide big data compatible APIs as well as the required performance.
In this webinar, the Intel and Alluxio teams will present a proposed reference architecture using Alluxio as the in-memory accelerator for object stores to enable modern analytical workloads such as Spark, Presto, Tensorflow, and Hive. We will also present a technical overview of Alluxio.

Zero Downtime with Tyrone Unified Storage SolutionTyrone Systems
Well known GPS Maps Navigation service provider entrusts Tyrone Opslag FS2 unified storage platform for their storage needs as it offers them high performance, scalability and flexibility
OSBConf 2015 | Contemporary and cost efficient backups to to tape by josef we...NETWAYS
Recently IBM demonstrated a 220 TB Tape Cartridge. I will show the future of Tape Technology and the enhancement made in Tape Storage. Also I give an outlook in Hard-Disk and in Flash Technology. The roadmap in areal density and capacity growth in those different technology will force us to rethink our backup storage architecture in the future. I will discuss and compare those different storage technologies areal density, roadmap, bit error rate, cost and power consumption. I will calculate some example related to backup environment where not only huge data are stored but also many data processed daily.
To some, tape storage may seem like an outdated technology in the era of NAS and object-based storage. But— here’s a surprise – tape today is more relevant than ever. Even the most modern data centers can benefit from its low cost of ownership, scalability, reliability and security. In our on demand webinar, Storage Switzerland is joined by Spectra Logic, Fujifilm and Iron Mountain to discuss why tape use shouldn’t just continue but actually expand, including in hybrid cloud environments.
Cost analysis for acquisition of 250 terabytes of storage growing at 25% per year for five years. Products from EMC, NetAPP, NEC, Dot Hill were compared to a software defined storage solution based on SUSE Enterprise Storage software.
Tape and cloud storage targets have their pros and cons. There are many differences between these two technologies, which we will explore in this paper. These differences can steer the decision process you may have for getting virtual machine (VM) backups offsite with Veeam® Backup & Replication™.
Modern data lakes are now built on cloud storage, helping organizations leverage the scale and economics of object storage while simplifying overall data storage and analysis flow
This short paper discusses the work happening in the Fibre Channel Industry Association's T-11 committee to develop a new low latency protocol for a flash drive world. This paper is an excellent introduction to it.
The flash market started out monolithically. Flash was a single media type (high performance, high endurance SLC flash). Flash systems also had a single purpose of accelerating the response time of high-end databases. But now there are several flash options. Users can choose between high performance flash or highly dense, medium performance flash systems. At the same time, high capacity hard disk drives are making a case to be the archival storage medium of choice. How does an IT professional choose?

IBM offers a variety of storage optimization technologies that balance performance and cost. This session covers Easy Tier, Storage Analytics, and Spectrum Scale.
The tape Industry began in 1952 and the disk Industry in 1956. In 1952, the world’s first
successful commercial tape drive was delivered, the IBM 726 with 12,500 bytes of capacity per
reel. In 1956 the world’s first disk drive was delivered by IBM, the Ramac 350 with 5 megabytes
of capacity. Though no one knew it at the time, two key and lasting events linking disk and tape
for the foreseeable future had just occurred

Ten Reasons Why You Should Consider
Enterprise-Class Tape for Open Systems Storage
Analyst: David Reine
Enterprise-Based Storage Requirements
As we have seen over the past few years, storage requirements are exploding throughout the
enterprise. Nowhere is this more evident than in the enterprise data center. Moreover, within the data
center, requirements for Tier-3 storage in support of long-term archiving and also for data backup and
recovery is placing a tremendous strain on enterprise resources, both human and financial. Last year
(December 2010), The Clipper Group did an exhaustive comparison of the effects of both disk and tape
on the enterprise budget, on a total cost of ownership (TCO) basis, comparing the two architectures1.
For disk, we used 2TB SATA drives, the most commonly used high-capacity disk storage unit. For tape
we used LTO-5 technology2, the most commonly used tape architecture, with an uncompressed capacity
of 1.5TB, the highest capacity tape media, at that time.
However, since then we have seen two new tape drives introduced into the enterprise-class tape
tier3: IBM’s System Storage TS1140 and Oracle’s StorageTek T10000C. Both of these drives
significantly raised the capacity ceiling from previous drives in the same families, IBM’s System Storage
TS1130 and Oracle’s StorageTek T10000B.
The TS1130 has an uncompressed capacity of 1TB, while the new TS1140 has an uncompressed
capacity of 4TB.
Oracle’s T10000B also had a 1TB capacity, with the new T10000C increased that to 5TB.
Based upon capacity alone, these new drives would appear to cast a very long shadow over the LTO-5
technology. However, capacity is definitely not the only factor that determines an enterprise decision on
this tier of storage. There are many factors that go into this decision, including performance, reliability,
and the TCO, any of which may be the most important factor.
Total Cost of Ownership Factors
First, let’s be very clear: I am not talking about small or even medium-sized enterprises. This is
about the largest data centers; the ones with mission- and business-critical tape libraries with many peta-
bytes of data on – literally – thousands of data cartridges. These large data centers are using these

The enterprise-class tape nomenclature has its origins in tape for use with IBM mainframes. That still is one of the differences
between enterprise-class tape and tape for open systems, which today is dominated by LTO. What may be less obvious, and is the
question being raised in this paper, is that enterprise-class tape also works with open systems, including in data centers without a
mainframe. It used to be somewhat clear cut. If you had a mainframe, you had enterprise-class tape. If you had only open systems,
you would have open (LTO) tape. If you had both kinds of systems, you might have only enterprise-class tape or you might have both in
your data center. Given that IBM, Oracle, and Spectra Logic tape libraries can contain cartridges of both enterprise and open tape types,
having both in your library is worthy of consideration. There are differences in how these vendors accommodate both in the same
library, but to the data center with many PBs of data, the operational and cost differences are not significant.
