PowerStore: Smarter, denser, and more secure

Organisations today face unprecedented uncertainty while trying to manage familiar challenges: exponential data growth and escalating cyberthreats, while maintaining zero downtime expectations under relentless pressure to do more with less, said Dell Technologies.

Dell's PowerStore storage platform can address those challenges while turning data into a strategic advantage. A new release introduces innovations in storage density, cybersecurity, and operational simplicity that tackle the challenges head-on, providing organisations with tools to take control in an unpredictable world.

PowerStore’s new Q 30 TB quad-level cell (QLC) flash models lower upfront costs and deliver significant long-term power and space savings without sacrificing performance or reliability. Businesses can now store up to 2 PB of data in 2U* of rack space, doubling the capacity per rack unit and improving power efficiency by up to 23%**.

PowerStore’s always-on cybersecurity makes it easy to create a robust defensive strategy, ensuring data remains secure and accessible, regardless of the circumstances. New capabilities included in this no-cost software release include:

• Synchronous replication over Fibre Channel (FC) for block workloads, eliminating data loss and minimising recovery times for critical data.

• Asynchronous replication over FC for file systems, simplifying disaster recovery with granular, 5 minute recovery point objectives (RPOs).

• Metro sync replication for files with automated failover, ensuring zero RPOs/recovery time objectives (RTOs) for mission- critical operations.

• Multiparty authorisation for requiring a second, authorised administrator to approve critical storage changes.

PowerStore’s unified architecture delivers exceptional flexibility and efficiency by consolidating diverse workloads with its next-generation unified architecture. Managing file environments has been simplified. Firstly, enhanced support is included for advanced NFSv4.2 features like:

• Server-side copy to reduce network traffic when moving or duplicating data.

• Sparse files for optimising capacity for virtual machines and databases.

• Labelled NFS for secure file sharing across diverse environments.

Additionally, the new file Top Talkers feature provides deep file resource consumption insights. Administrators can easily identify top consumers, monitor performance metrics like input/output operations per second (IOPS) and bandwidth, and apply then respond with quality of service (QoS) policies to address bottlenecks.

*Assumes 5:1 data reduction. Actual results may vary.

**Based on fully configured 3200Q appliances with 30 TB QLC drives versus with 15 TB QLC drives, assuming 5:1 disaster risk reduction (DRR). Actual results may vary.

Fortinet enhances FortiRecon to align with CTEM framework

Fortinet, the global cybersecurity provider driving the convergence of networking and security, has turned the FortiRecon platform into a comprehensive solution aligned with the continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) framework. The latest release introduces expanded internal attack surface monitoring, adversary-centric dark web intelligence, and security orchestration, all in a unified platform. These enhancements help organisations proactively identify and prioritise real-world exposures, validate risks like an attacker would, and accelerate response. “CISOs and security teams are overwhelmed by growing attack surfaces and an endless stream of unprioritised alerts,” said Nirav Shah, Senior VP of Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “With the latest enhancements to FortiRecon , we’re giving organisations an attacker’s eye view of their internal and external exposures, backed by AI-powered threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, real-world validation, and automated response...

Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company, has found* that AI adoption continues to accelerate in Singapore. In the past year alone, 27,000 1 Singapore businesses adopted AI for the first time—equivalent to over three new adopters every hour. In sum, nearly 170,000 (48%) of businesses in Singapore have adopted AI 2 , up from approximately 143,000 (40%) a year ago. This represents a 20% year-over-year growth rate, AWS said. AI adoption is the strongest in the financial services industry (71%), followed by the technology sector ( software developers, data analytics firms, cloud service providers, and digital startups) at 70%, and healthcare at 63%. Among Singapore’s businesses that have adopted AI, 82% reported an increase in revenue, at an average increase of 19%, while 90% report significant productivity improvements. A large majority (85%) of those who have adopted AI say the technology is likely to increase their growth in the next year, and 89% expect an average of 17%...
