Data storage is an important topic across many different companies. Whether it’s project files, user data or other documents – without a suitable, easy-to-administer storage solution, data management can quickly go off the rails. Within this context, software-defined storage solutions are becoming ever more popular. This involves the use a central storage based on a software-controlled hardware…
Memory (RAM) influences a system’s overall performance. Every activity requires devices to perform and create data that is processed. To make sure that data is quickly exchanged, working memory is needed. But what is RAM? We’ll explain how random access memory works, introduce various types, and clear up the question of how much RAM makes sense.
Ceph is a storage solution that enables the shared filing of data in a network, which ensures the redundancy, scalability, and maximum performance of the existing infrastructure. The system was released with a GNU General Public License and can be used free of charge.
Growing sums of data require cost-effective, high-performance storage solutions. One option for fulfilling this requirement is a network attached storage. In business contexts, this model has already established itself as a viable alternative to file servers, hard drives, and the cloud. Private users have also caught on and use NAS systems at home. But what is a NAS? Read on, and we’ll show you…
Virtual machines are extremely practical and versatile: Do you want to set up an isolated test environment, run a Linux application on your Windows computer, or provide different operating systems for cross-platform software tests? With the right virtualization software and an appropriate image file, this is easy. We will introduce you to the basics of hypervisor-supported hardware virtualization…
Due to rising worldwide data usage, more and more companies around the world are moving away from dedicated data servers and instead opting for more holistic solutions in the form of centrally stored data networks. This structure is carried out in the form of storage area networks, or SANs. SAN storage users profit from quick data access and comprehensive hardware redundancy.
What are the differences between SSD and HDD? Our SSD vs. HDD comparison presents the essential information of both storage technologies. We’ll also give you tips as to which hard drive technology is best suited for select applications. Will it be the mature and inexpensive hard disk drive or the fast and more expensive solid-state drive?
SSDs have been gaining ground for years now. Until recently, these flash-based storage devices have been mostly used by mobile devices, like smartphones or MP3 players. But more recently desktops and servers have been making use of this technology. What advantages do SSDs have over traditional storage devices? Find out here.
Multithreading is a technology that can be used to get more performance from a processor - without increasing frequency or introducing more microprocessors. Instead, you structure software in small units (threads) and process them simultaneously or near simultaneously. How can that work? Keep reading to find out.
