IDC: EMEA PBBA Revenues Down in Q2

According to IDC, Q2 2019 EMEA purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) revenues are down by -5.6% Y-o-Y to reach $267.7 million, the result of organisations shifting away from legacy infrastructure in order to handle data.

Total EMEA PBBA open systems revenues see a -1% Y-o-Y decline to $252.4m, while mainframe system sales are down by -46.4% Y-o-Y.

W. European Q2 2019 PBBA revenues total $211.6m, a -8.3% Y-o-Y drop. The financial and political turmoil brought about by Brexit and tension in the Eurozone are affecting investment confidence, directly impacting IT budgets. As a result, organisations are delaying upgrades and project, leading to a detrimental effect on infrastructure.

Zadara Adds NVMe-as-a-Service to Storage Platform

Zadara sets to boost its fully managed enterprise STaaS (storage-as-a-service) platform with the addition of NVMe capabilities, together with further "critical enhancements" promising significant benefits to customers.

NVMe brings faster data access, reduced power consumption and lower latency, addressing the limitations (and potential bottlenecks) of legacy storage interfaces. However, high device cost and interoperability issues keep the benefits of NVMe out of reach for many enterprises. The Zadara STaaS solution moves NVMe from a CapEx expenditure to a flexible consumption OpEx item, opening the door to larger scale adoption.

NetApp Goes NVMe Flash With EF600

NetApp launches the first all-flash NVMe EF-series platform with the EF600, an end-to-end midrange all-flash array promising to bring about performance, vlue and simplicity in a dense 2U package.

Designed for performance-sensitive applications, such as Oracle databases, real-time analytics and high-performance computing, the EF600 uses a BeeGFS parallel file system with up to 2 million sustained IOPS, response times of less than 100 microseconds and up to 44Gbps of bandwidth. Support for NVMe/IB, NVMe/RoCE and NVMe/FC allow for low latency, while redundant components provide automatic failover. A modular design allows customers to easily scale the array without adding to complexity.

Toshiba Debuts Tiny NVMe SSD Form Factor

Toshiba takes to the 2019 Flash Memory Summit to reveal XFMEXPRESS-- a technology for removable PCIe attached NVMe storage devices in form factor smaller than 22 x 30mm M.2 cards.

The XFMEXPRESS card measures 18 x 14 x 1.4mm, making it just slightly larger and thicker than a microSD card. It mounts into a latching socket making for a 22.2 x 17.75 x 2.2mm footprint. In comparison, standard BGA SSDs are 11.5 x 13mm with a PCIe x2 interface or 16.20mm with a PCIe x4 interface. The result, Toshiba says, is a removable storage format for devices making use of soldered BGA SSDs or eMMC and UFS modules, allowing for both aftermarket upgrades or even smaller embedded devices.

The Fire Shield SSD Able to Withstand 800°C Heat

Storage and memory vendor Innodisk presents an SSD able to withstand 800°C of heat for up to 30 minutes-- the Fire Shield SSD, a storage device inspired by black boxes, the famous flight recorder boxes used in commercial aircraft.

Featuring heat proofing technology patented by the USPTO, the Fire Shield SSD features three layers of protection. The first enclosure consists of a flame-resistant copper alloy material, while the second uses a heat-isolating lining material. A third protective enclosure houses the actual SSD. Innodisk says the design uses over 20 heat-resistant materials, and it ensures the SSD is not only fireproof, but also vibration- and impact-proof.
