Fujitsu Laboratories has announced newly developed technology that offers both high speed data-processing and high-capacity storage in distributed storage systems, in order to speed up the processing of ever-increasing volumes of data.

Over the course of regular business activities, organizations collect large sum of data and all too often fail to utilize this information. All this unnecessary data not only adds to maintenance costs, but also makes the organization susceptible to greater risks.

CEPTES has announced its DataArchiva product will be launched on Salesforce AppExchange. DataArchiva is a structured data archiving solution, which will periodically archive infrequently used Salesforce data.

Pure Storage, an all-flash storage vendor, has announced the acquisition of privately-held, Sunnyvale, California based software company StorReduce, a cloud-first software-defined storage solution for managing large scale unstructured data.

Quantum Corp. has announced the availability of a new converged tape appliance designed to make it fast and easy to procure, install, configure and create tape backups in a Veeam environment for offline protection against ransomware.
