Storage virtualization vendors look beyond VMware support
Although VMware remains the dominant server hypervisor, customers are turning to alternative hypervisors and frequently using more than one. When they do implement a hypervisor that's not from VMware, will they find the same depth of support from storage virtualization vendors?
The June 2012 "Worldwide Virtual Machine Software 2012-2016 Forecast" from Framingham, Mass.-based analyst firm IDC pointed to Microsoft's November 2012 release of Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 as a significant factor in the 2013 market.

HGST pumps out 12 Gbps SAS SSDs
Western Digital Corp.'s HGST subsidiary this week launched what it claims are the industry's first 12 Gbps SAS solid-state drives.
The 25 nm Ultrastar drives use multi-level cell NAND flash and range in capacities from 200 GB to 1 TB. HGST is pitching the drives for high-performance applications, such as online banking, big data analytics and cloud computing.
Intel to sell LSI Nytro MegaRAID PCIe flash cards
LSI Corp. and Intel Corp. today expanded their OEM partnership to include the LSI Nytro MegaRAID PCI Express flash card. Intel will sell the server-side flash device with two of its RAID solid-state drive storage cache controllers.
LSI's Nytro MegaRAID PCI Express cards sit in the server PCIe slots to accelerate storage directly attached to the server. Intel previously offered LSI MegaRAID controller cards for SATA, SAS or solid-state application acceleration with RAID-on-chip data protection technology. Nytro MegaRAID cards add on-board NAND flash, SandForce flash storage processors and intelligent caching for faster application acceleration. LSI acquired flash controller chip vendor SandForce in October 2011.
Tintri adds asynchronous replication for virtual machines
Virtual machine-aware storage vendor Tintri Inc. is adding the ability to asynchronously replicate individual virtual machines between its VMstore arrays with version 2.0 of its operating system.
Tintri's ReplicateVM feature builds on its cloning and snapshot capabilities, and allows customers to replicate virtual machines (VMs) to another array or multiple arrays.
