      Dell to Manufacture Its Own SANs

      Dell this week said it will cut the price of storage by manufacturing its own storage area network (SAN) systems for small and medium-sized firms. This is the first time Dell has taken over the manufacturing process. Thomas Lahive, senior analyst at research firm, Enterprise Storage Group, said: “This is a big step for Dell because it manufactures very little of its technology and this is its first big component.” According to Lahive, there are huge margins in the storage business and now that EMC is effectively licensing its intellectual property, Dell will benefit greatly from the deal. “Prior to this announcement, Dell was rebranding the EMC solution, but now they will get a much larger proportion of the revenue, even though the products will be based on exactly the same design as before,” he said.

      Mac OS X Floppy Disk RAID Comes to Light

      Mac OS Xs included Disk Utility may be more flexible than you think. One Mac user managed to craft together a RAID system using a series of floppy drives. Apples Disk Utility included with Mac OS X supports software-based RAID, providing a way for users to create RAID Level 0, with data striped to two or more drives, for enhanced performance; or RAID Level 1 disk mirroring, which duplicates data on two or more mechanisms for enhanced reliability. Daniel Blade Olson, manager of sales and marketing at peripheral maker Y-E Data, connected five of his companys 1x USB floppy drives to his iMac, formatted five floppy diskettes, and ran Mac OS Xs Disk Utility. Less than 20 minutes after starting his effort, according to Olsons calculations, hed created a viable floppy-based RAID system with a whopping 3.9MB capacity.

      IBMs Storage Tank Technology to Aid Big-Bang Research

      IBM announced this week that it will collaborate with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, to create the worlds largest data grid to help CERN physicists virtually recreate the first moments of the “Big Bang.” IBMs contribution is based on the companys Storage Tank storage visualization and management technology, which will be deployed in its first real-world test to handle the extraordinarily high volumes of data that CERNs new particle collider will produce when it goes online in 2007. Data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be generated in such quantities, that in three years the Storage Tank-based grid will have to manage and process one petabyte (a million gigabytes) of information, said Jai Menon, an IBM Fellow and the co-director of the IBM Storage Systems Institute.
