System Network requirements for Next Generation Datacenters

Next generation datacenters with all-flash for active data will require much higher performance system networks. These networks will need to be integrated into converged systems, and be completely separate from long-distance networks.

Identifying The Galaxies Forming Out Of The Big Data Big Bang

The software, hardware, and professional services markets for big data are still in formative stages, with packaged applications emerging only slowly. But the demand for solutions is sufficiently large and growing fast enough to support a number of large vendors with a variety of packaging and go-to-market approaches. Users should identify their big data starting point — services, application platforms, or converged infrastructure — and establish the strategic relationships they need to progress with big data investments.
