Storage Strategies NOW


"Deni Connor's extensive background spans multiple IT disciplines and enables her to provide actionable feedback and thorough analyses which benefits QLogic, our global channel partners and our customers. I highly recommend SSG-NOW as a cost-effective IT consultancy that delivers high impact results."

Steve Zivanic,
Senior Director, QLogic

"Deni is fearless. As a reporter she never failed to objectively cover the prickliest of issues. As an analyst, we expect her to be one of the best."

John Dix, editor in chief of Network World

"SSG-NOW provides deep market knowledge coupled with a strategic, yet pragmatic approach. Deni's technology understanding is well matched with the skepticism of a former reporter - she drills down to relevant questions and quickly assesses the viability of a strategy or technology from an end-user's perspective."

Ursula Talley, vice president of marketing, StoredIQ

"Storage Strategies NOW analysts are experts in data center and storage/server issues, always providing deep technology experience and objective, practical and timely analysis of products, technologies and industry direction."

Jay Kramer, vice president of worldwide marketing, SEPATON

SSD Flash – July 2009

When EMC became the first storage vendor to announce support for solid state drives over a year ago, the company didn’t say what software they had that would migrate business-critical data into and out of the newest Tier 0 cache. It wasn’t until April of this year, that EMC introduced its Fully Automated Storage Tiering Tool (FAST), which automatically moves data among storage tiers based on policies, predictive analysis and access patterns. The company’s only problem – FAST won’t be available until sometime in the second half of this year and full FAST implementation won’t be available until 2010.
