Let&#8217;s get random.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chris M. Evans put together an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecting.it\/blog\/san-storage-longevity\/\">editorial on why centralised storage refuses to go away<\/a>. I thought the point about ransomware was an interesting one, although some of the systems I&#8217;ve seen out there haven&#8217;t been secured terribly well.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of storage and ransomware, there&#8217;s an excellent article over at Backblaze on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/blog\/object-lock-101-protecting-data-from-ransomware\/\">Object Lock<\/a>. Worth checking out as I think a lot of people like to talk about Object Lock without understanding what it is (and isn&#8217;t).<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of storage, Mellor covered a recent presentation by Tom Lyon &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/blocksandfiles.com\/2024\/06\/17\/eminent-sun-alumnus-says-nfs-must-die\/\">eminent Sun alumnus says NFS must die<\/a>. I came from the block side of things, so NFS was always a little quirky but gee whiz you can do some good (and dumb) stuff with it.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve followed Frances for some time, and really enjoyed this article on her experiences in the transition <a href=\"https:\/\/virtually2cents.com\/from-vmware-to-broadcom\/\">from VMware to Broadcom<\/a>. I think everyone&#8217;s journey has been different, and it&#8217;s invariably a little more nuanced than The Register would have us believe. But as I&#8217;m an employee that&#8217;s probably all I&#8217;ll say about that publicly.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of Broadcom, Tony put together this excellent article on <a href=\"https:\/\/techaspire.com.au\/blog-019-git-commit\/\">Cloud Director Tenancy Container Applications<\/a>. It&#8217;s very thorough, and he&#8217;s promised me he&#8217;ll be doing more soon.<\/li>\n<li>In press release news, <a href=\"https:\/\/hammerspace.com\/hammerspace-advances-gpu-data-orchestration-capabilities-to-accelerate-access-to-s3-data\/\">Hammerspace are dong stuff with GPU data orchestration capabilities to accelerate access to S3 data<\/a>. If you haven&#8217;t looked into Hammerspace, you really should.<\/li>\n<li>In other PR news,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/datadobi.com\/post_news\/datadobi-unveils-storagemap-7-0-to-drive-unstructured-data-insights-empower-decision-making-and-optimize-hybrid-cloud\/\">Datadobi has unveiled StorageMAP 7.0<\/a>. I tried to catch up with the Datadobi folks before I went on leave but it didn&#8217;t work out. Hopefully I can get hold of them to dive in a little deeper on this in the near future.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, JB published a great piece entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/aliensideboob.substack.com\/p\/existential-having?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=39090&amp;post_id=145116595&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;r=5cf0v&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email\">Existential Having<\/a>. If you follow me on the photos social media you&#8217;ll know that I have a lot of records. And basketball jerseys. And sneakers. I don&#8217;t know why I have these things, but they bring me comfort. For a period of time.
