When they do, it is an event worthy of pause -- even if the gathering proves more about self-service than boosting the interoperability of their wares.

Combining power and reliability in a small size, the B12 could become the measuring stick for all storage arrays in its class, surpassing those that mount 3.5-inch drives in both efficiency and performance/space ratio.

The vendor carefully orchestrated the announcement in hopes of capitalizing on the most interesting innovation to its portfolio in a long time.

Developed jointly, the technology differs little, yet market strategy may mean Dell will reap deeper rewards.

Take Hitachi GST's recent additions to its Travelstar line. The 2.5-inch drives may not look that much different than other small form factor drives, but one glance at their specs is enough to see the beginning of a storage revolution away from 3.5-inch drives.

After all, conversations with suppliers tend to reflect what Tier 1 vendors ask of them. Less sales-oriented, these talks can be refreshing in that they are less likely to be sugarcoated with hype and more likely to be built on facts.

Probably not <grin>, but setting aside the nuts and bolts of storage now so that you can focus on the legal implications of next year?s purchases will be the best present you can give yourself before the new year.

Companies that take business continuity seriously protect themselves by creating a recovery site to run vital business processes during an emergency.
