4 Tips for Processing Real-Time Data

CIO Business Intelligence

It also requires hard drives to provide reliable long-term storage. Technology such as load-balancing ensures that all resources in a cluster are doing approximately the same amount of work. Spreading the load in this manner reduces latency and eliminates bottlenecks. increase the number of servers or nodes).

Technology Short Take #48

Scott Lowe

The “gotcha” is that these software stacks haven’t been written yet, so the idea of repurposing hardware from switch to firewall to load balancer is still a bit of a unicorn. Jason Boche has a nice write-up on how a QLogic HBA setting prevented NPIV from working in a Dell Compellent environment (used with VMware vSphere).
