Microscopy Gets a Wider Field of View: The State of Advanced Imaging Techniques in 2023
Back in 2020, we published a whitepaper about the need for updated data storage infrastructures to support advanced image generators in life sciences. We predicted that one of the key factors driving these new demands would be the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in high-end microscopy workflows. Now in 2023, we’re seeing that prediction […]
VDURA argues HDD systems are greener than flash arrays
(Block & Files) – HPC storage supplier VDURA is claiming that disk drive arrays are more environmentally friendly than all-flash arrays in terms of their total carbon emissions. VDURA – the rebranded Panasas – supplies both SSD and HDD-based storage systems. The starting point for this environmental argument was a Pure Storage blog written by Eric Burgener, its technical […]
Purely Misleading, Carbon Smart Storage
How we build systems matters! It impacts cost, performance, capacity, environmental footprint, and more. Building systems requires a diverse perspective and consideration from multiple angles. Pure Storage recently published a blog claiming their DirectFlash Module (DFM) technology is more environmentally friendly than standard SSDs and HDDs. As flash array vendors, their view is clearly biased. Limited to […]
