This week in Seoul I learned a few important things.

This week in Seoul I learned a few important things.

Architecting storage solutions means being on the hunt for bottleneck after bottleneck and removing them to eliminate latency wherever possible. With the availability of storage media such as Flash and high-performance disk drives, the bottleneck has often moved away from the storage medium itself and onto the interconnect.

We’ve just announced our expansion into Germany, and specifically the availability of our Enterprise-grade Virtual Private Storage Array service (VPSA) at AWS Frankfurt. Adding new sites has become routine (AWS Frankfurt is our 32nd public Point of Presence worldwide) and I wanted to expand a bit on why this is a particularly big deal, and on the benefits this new site confers to customers requiring SAN & NAS capabilities in the cloud.

Vor kurzem haben wir unsere Expansion nach Deutschland und insbesondere die Installation unserer Virtual Private Storage Arrays (VPSA) bei AWS Frankfurt bekanntgegeben. Die Eröffnung neuer Standorte – AWS Frankfurt ist unser 32. öffentlicher Point of Presence (PoP) – ist für uns mittlerweile zur Routine geworden. Dennoch möchte ich hier erklären, warum die Eröffnung in Frankfurt ein besonders wichtiger Schritt für unsere Unternehmen und unsere Kunden ist und welche Vorteile dieser Standort den Unternehmen bietet, die SAN- und NAS-Kapazitäten in der Cloud benötigen.

Next week, we’ll be kicking off the new year at Storage Vision 2015 conference. The conference (already in it’s 14th year!) will take place from the 4-5th of January, at The Riviera, Las Vegas. Data storage is the key enabler for virtually every facet of modern society and Storage Visions is the place to meet and hear from the innovators driving this technology forward.

Happy to share our latest customer case study with Echo360 – a leader of active learning and teaching technology, both inside and outside of the classroom.

The cloud offers unprecedented flexibility and agility, but it’s still full of shortcomings that have made migrating existing Enterprise applications to the public cloud either impossible, or extremely complicated and full of performance, availability and management compromises.
