Taneja Group analysts will deliver a monthly webcast on a topic of relevance to the IT community. Our analysts specialize in researching new technologies, determine their short and long term impact and suggest the best ways to maximize value to IT. We will cover topics in storage, DR, archiving, virtualization, cloud, big data, WAN Optimization and other data center infrastructure technologies. Our job is to make complex technologies understandable and suggest ways to reduce complexity for IT AND enhance business value.  For forward thinking analysis and practical advice please join our channel.

What’s a Notebook? In this new era of agility in application development and big data science, IT may be asked to host and support online notebook environments (e.g. Jupyter or Zeppelin) - documents that can contain live code, in-line documentation, and analytical results - for data scientists, agile programmers, and even business analysts who want to explore, document, and share their work. Notebooks are certainly good for knowledge capture, but are also increasingly being leveraged as re-usable analytical applications themselves.

Why All The Online Notebooks

In IT, it’s inevitable that components in our “base" layers eventually mature and can be converged into more cohesive building blocks over time. We’ve seen rack-scale IT convergence turn into IT appliance Hyperconvergence as key storage and networking functionality was finally implemented as fungible software running in commoditized or virtualized server hosting. Now Datrium sticks a knife into the monolithic Hyperconvergence appliance approach and shows how convergence can be “opened” up and applied across functionally distributed (i.e. cheaper and more efficient) infrastructure - better performance with cheaper server-side flash, lower cost with shared networked pools of capacity for data protection.

Datrium Opens Up Convergence

In over 400 interviews with IT decision makers, the Taneja Group learned that an increasing number of organizations want not just to store files in the cloud, but to easily move those files between the cloud and on-premise.
 
In response, the Taneja Group has identified an emerging set of storage products they call “multi-cloud primary storage” that can span multiple environments. One of the vendors at the forefront of this trend is Qumulo, whose “universal-scale storage” product, Qumulo File Fabric (QF2), allows cloud instances and computing nodes on standard hardware to work together to form a single, unified file fabric.

Join Taneja Group Senior Analysts Jeff Kato and Jeff Byrne as they discusses the research behind the Taneja Group’s Multi-Cloud Primary Storage report. They will be joined by Qumulo employee Justin Mahood, who will describe why the “universal-scale” of QF2 is the best way to store files in the cloud and on-premise.

Disruption of the file storage market:  Extending file storage to the cloud

In this final part of a 3 part series, Senior Analyst & Consultant Mike Matchett discusses Igneous Systems and next gen app primary storage.

Igneous Systems promises to help filer-dependent enterprises keep up with all their file protection challenges with their Igneous Hybrid Storage Cloud that features integrated enterprise file backup and archive.

Next Gen App Primary Storage

In this highly topical interview, I get to question Frederic Van Haren about a number of big data and HPC storage topics. For years, before the world even called it big data, Frederic was responsible for some of the biggest and fastest growing big data/HPC analytical datasets in the world, actively used by large teams of highly advanced speech-to-text researchers with cutting edge analytics, and in global production operations for a variety of well-known applications. 
I ask Frederic for some of his hard-earned insights and best practice advice for those looking to implement big data storage in their enterprises for analytics, data lakes, and whatever the future may bring. We also get in some questions about what IT folks should do for their careers, and what to focus on first in these kinds of projects.
