Microsoft’s recent push to remake Azure Storage into the backbone for exabyte-scale AI and modern enterprise workloads rewrites several long‑standing assumptions about cloud storage — from how training data is fed to GPUs to how mission‑critical databases are protected and migrated. The...
Pure Storage’s latest refresh positions storage not as a passive tier but as an active, orchestrated data plane that enterprises can use to accelerate and govern AI — spanning on‑premises arrays, container platforms, and native public‑cloud services. Background
Pure Storage has announced a set...
Microsoft Azure customers experienced measurable slowdowns and higher-than-normal latency after multiple undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, forcing cloud traffic onto longer, congested detours and exposing brittle physical chokepoints beneath modern cloud resilience. Background...
Microsoft’s cloud backbone entered a period of turbulence this weekend after multiple undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were reported cut, producing measurable latency for traffic between Asia, the Middle East and Europe and prompting Azure engineers to reroute and rebalance traffic...
