We talk to Sergey Pronin of Percona about new storage functionality in Kubernetes 1.31, including volume attribute class and changes to persistent volumes, as well as other long-term fixes.

We talk to NetApp's Chris McKean about ransomware attacks and the role of data storage in protecting against them

US-based startup will develop storage software allied with FPGA chips to allow data storage to bypass spinning-disk era block addressing to speed performance and cut energy use

AI is seen by IT leaders as essential, but it requires innovation, skills and infrastructure, all of which are under pressure from day-to-day firefighting, energy costs and cyber-threats

University innovation body avoids hardware spend and saves management time as it switches from tape to cloud-to-cloud backup, instant recovery and decades-long retention from Keepit

In this guide we look at the market-leading container platform Kubernetes, how it works and the challenges with persistent storage and backup and how they have been overcome

Flash prices were high in the early part of this year as a result of manufacturer production squeezes but have since dropped because demand has been slack, with flash now costing just under 10 cents per gigabyte

We look at key-value storage, which promises much greater I/O efficiency and longer flash drive lifespans, but may be constrained by limited use cases and lukewarm productisation efforts.

Artificial intelligence (AI) processing rests on the use of vectorised data. In other words, AI turns real-world information into data that can be used to gain insight, searched for and manipulated.

Several months behind Seagate and Western Digital, Toshiba achieves the maximum possible in commercial HDDs and benefits from a speed boost over its rivals
