Punk’d in the Data Center
Isilon Systems had some fun with this video. It’s definitely been making the rounds on Twitter. And so we thought, why not post it on our site and grab some of the fun? So for those who have yet to watch it, here’s a little weekend magic for your enjoyment.

Storage Industry Lags Behind Advances in Compression
There’s a lot of talk about compression these days, but how much do we know about it?
