Note: on January 2019, Rambus acquired memory technology assets of Diablo Technologies and Diablo and the company is now closed.

Diablo Technologies is a company founded in 2003 that have revolutionize the flash market with their Memory Channel Storage (MCS) solution: a very high performance host flash solution that fit in DIMMs connectors instead to be plugged to PCIe or SAS connectors.

An interesting idea, supported by several vendors that make flash more closest to the CPU, but still flash seens as block devices as other SSD.

Now Diablo Technologies is announcing the launch of Memory1™, the first all-flash server system memory technology that rewrites the rules of datacenter performance and economics the the flash roles on host side.

TechTalks at VMworld

3 August 2015

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Like in previous VMworld editions, the #vBrownbag TechTalks are returning also this year, both in the US and the European edition.

The TechTalks are ten-minute presentations by community members at an industry conference. Most of them (and the original idea of the vBrownBag “unconference” was this) are originated with sessions not being accepted for the main conference catalog. We know we want to learn from the community so we arranged an alternative forum. TechTalks are limited to ten minutes; they deliver the very core of an idea. Keeping presentations short also means we can do a lot of sessions in a day. Most TechTalks use a slide deck, some use a whiteboard and a few brave souls do live demonstrations.

After several (beta) builds, available to all the Windows 10 Insider people, Microsoft Windows 10 it’s finally available to all (in 190 countries) and also for the upgrade. Yes because Windows 10 will be available as a free upgrade to people using Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for qualified devices and OS version (for more information see the Windows10Upgrade page).

There are already a lot of information on all the features of this new OS, and several landing pages with presentations and comments. But the best and simple way is just try it: if you are using Windows 8.1 you can appreciate Windows 10 that become more usable both for tablet and ALSO (finally) “legacy” desktop users. If you are using Windows 7 you can have some doubts and concerns, but honestly it’s a big improvement and has the same (maybe also better, depending by the point of view) usability.

Frame vs. frame-less storage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

One old (and now quite not used anymore) storage concept was about the Frame vs. frame-less architectures.

Those terms are from the past decades and where used (especially from Dell-EqualLogic) to identify how storage controllers are dedigned and how they can scale:

  • Frame-based storage contain individual components that scale independently (you can add more cache, network connections, disks, software, etc.) until it’s maxiums and until the product is still supported. Usually you have two storage controllers and one ore more shelves of disks.
  • Frame-less storage is modular where each “module” include it’s own storage processors, cache and network connections AND also the disks set. To add additional storage in the future, you simply buy another “brick” which includes a small set of all the components.
