Flooding in Thailand is driving up prices and constricting availability of HDDs. A Gartner Note, “How to Cope with a Worldwide Hard-Disk Shortage in 2012” (G00227631) by Valdis Filks and Stanley Zaffos, December 6 2011, predicts:"HDD costs will increase by up to 20% in 2012". Their number one recommendation to cope with the shortage is:
"Accelerate the deployment of storage efficiency improving technologies and procedures."

Well, again we see that one of our deduplication market competitors is leveraging Permabit strategy and content. First it was Symantec with “Dedupe Everywhere” and this time it is HP using our concept of “Dedupe 2.0” in their recent announcements regarding StoreOnce.

We have two announcements at the show. The first is around Permabit extending our VMware A...
Whew...things are certainly heating up. Last week, Dell agreed to acquire Ocarina Networks for an undisclosed amount. As I mentioned to Chris Mellor at the Register, this was a good indication of how primary storage is, "moving from 'bump in the wire' compression/deduplication solutions to integrated capacity optimization".
And, yesterday, IBM announced the acquisition of Storwize. This is another great proof point for primary data optimization...
