When you’re dealing with a modern, all-flash array, you need data efficiency technology to keep up. Otherwise, what’s the point of having such a speedy solution? Perhaps you’ve heard the terms “thick provisioning” and “thin provisioning.” These terms get tossed around a lot in the storage community, but which is right for you?

Structured query language servers, or SQL (sometimes pronounced “Sequel”) servers are becoming an increasingly important tool for any data scientist to have in their toolbox. It’s a key asset that can be used to do all sorts of things, like access, update, insert, manipulate, and modify data, and it also helps in communicating with relational databases.

The home has become the main feature for people's lives. With so many people working from home, many find themselves sitting for long periods of time.

Whether you realize it or not, we’re exposed to artificial intelligence and machine-based learning every day. The virtual assistants on our smartphones, the smart speaker in your living room, your social media account, and even your favorite TV-streaming platform all use artificial intelligence and machine learning for optimum performance and personalized user experiences.

Currently, about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are produced each day.

Whether you’re working from home while your company is employing social distancing measures, or your business is making a more permanent shift to embrace the new work from home culture, spending too much time sitting at your desk can leave you feeling stiff and achy.

More than 40 percent of salespeople say that prospecting is the most challenging part of their job. Once you’ve built a relationship, the sales part comes easy. This is why many vendors are rethinking their sales models and looking to value-added resellers and affiliate partners—because these partners come with built-in clients.

As a value-added reseller, your business model relies on providing your customers and clients with a product that works anytime they need it. If you are using a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to deliver this product to your customers, you already know that this kind of platform has been all-too problematic in the past.

Standing up a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a great move for organizations looking to consolidate their systems or provide a simpler solution to standardizing how to support and provision users. However, one grand misconception we encounter when discussing the prospect of implementing VDI is that it will cost less.

Curious about hybrid cloud solutions? You’re not alone.

82 percent of polled enterprises either have deployed or are looking to deploy a hybrid storage strategy, compared to 9 percent of organizations that use or plan to use a single public cloud. Only 6 percent use or are searching for a single private cloud solution. So only a mere 3 percent of enterprises aren’t planning to use the cloud. The clear takeaway here is that we live in an overwhelmingly cloud-based world.
