AWS' S3 object storage is shifting from being a data repository to a vital part of the stack for generative AI and machine learning development.

A company's next storage purchase not only copies and pastes data but also won't let employees accidentally delete files.

Corrupted data in the Federal Aviation Administration's technology infrastructure should make enterprise IT teams consider and test high availability capabilities and recovery timetables for their own stacks.

IT employers still see the value of keeping storage administrator jobs in house despite the allure of savings with managed services.

Tech buyers are interested in the breadth and depth of services sold through the HPE GreenLake service, but want proof of cost savings and data control.

The marketing lingo of Web3 is slinking into the storage industry, but the use cases are few and the technology immature. "There's no agreed-upon definition of Web3," said Martha Bennett, principal analyst at Forrester Research. "It's been appropriated by the blockchain ecosystem. It's largely a designation label to say the future will be blockchain and crypto-economics."

A lengthy outage for AWS in December brought many enterprise apps and services to a halt, but it also provided a moment of reflection on DR plans and data availability. "It depends on where [an enterprise is] coming from for their existing disaster recovery strategy, where they need to go for different recovery points and times they can tolerate," said Krista Macomber, senior analyst at Evaluator Group.

Real estate ads, especially in the old towns of New England, frequently promise you can “own a piece of history.” But what about history you can not only live in, but help sustain?

“If it’s your personal Facebook page, you can put (posts like that) on it,” Lashus said. “But if you’re using the American Legion (imagery), that’s when we’d send the cease and desist.”

"Thank you, for your endless embarrassment and love," wrote Caroline Trustey on her Facebook page. "I hope to someday be half the amazing person you are. Fly with the angels Dad, I love you, and I promise to make you proud."
