Your monthly Storage Intelligence newsletter is here

In this month's newsletter, we publish our review of the latest Exchange (ESRP) performance results and discuss IBM's DS8880 storage family announcement.

There were two new ESRP submissions during the past 3 quarters in the 1001 to 5000 mailbox category. These two new solutions broke into a few of our top ten Exchange performance charts which we discuss in this months report. Read the report to learn more.

The new storage arrays include a low-end hybrid storage system, a new enterprise class hybrid array and an upcoming all-flash array. All these systems include the new POWER8 processing, PCIe3 and more system memory. Performance of the new systems is impressive and IBM provided a few reference metrics that compared well against their previous DS8870 storage arrays with flash storage.
