I have a 11 or 12 Year Old Supermicro workstation that still could run - latest Windows 10 update does not boot - but I think it because the Audio driver - but machine turns on and works.
But wow I not sure what to do with 576T of storage somebody like Amazon or Microsoft could used it for sure. Physical Hard drive are probably part of past soon.
Mobile network operators are increasingly adding caching appliances to network entry points (ie cell tower sites). This density of storage works well in locations that don't have full-scale capacity (ie power, cooling, footprint limitations).
Perhaps most is still ad-hoc. But I am seeing more and more people using most of their mobile data on media streaming via services like Netflix. If the trend continues, it could definitely make sense to cache the majority, or all, of the local Netflix content on a solution like this to reduce backbone network load which can be extremely difficult and expensive to keep upgrading.
"Reliance Jio said that under multi-access edge computing deployment, the CDN is integrated into the mobile LTE network with edge caches in close proximity to the mobile users.
With a mobile CDN, the mobile operator can deliver content via edge cloudlets to provide a better user experience with lower latency and higher performance. Cisco and Reliance Jio also solved the issue of assigning a geographically appropriate IP address to the mobile device and the issue of handover resiliency in the face of IP address changes on the client side and the CDN cache site without change or disturbance to the current services."
Forgot to add, I mention QLC NAND because one of the Samsung slides before mentioned that's how they got to 16TB. But overall, whether M.2 or M.3 (I prefer that name instead of NF1), I think NVMe QLC NAND for bulk storage is going to be exciting. I'd personally love to use NVMe QLC NAND has my "capacity" and NVMe Optane as my "cache/performance" tier.
Agreed. And the prices of the darn things really need to come down. Hopefully QLC will assist in that. If we could get 4TB SSDs down into the $150.00-$200.00 range - as long as the endurance was satisfactory they would sell like crazy. I just built a new NAS (2u rack server, 4x3TB HGST drives, 4x4TB Seagate ES drives in two pools for about 20TB of storage) and if I could have gone solid state for a reasonable price I would have.

If it boots to a "clean" install to Win 10 on a fresh (wiped) drive, then simply use the Windows 7 drivers in Windows 10You may still have problems if it's not a clean install however
(Upgrades do not count)
I have a Nehalem that Win 10 drivers do not support but it works fine with Win 7 drivers and now runs Win 10 just fine
Win 8.1 may be the best you can do for driver support on a system that old

What is 36 Bay, 1U, Massive Amount of SSD Storage got to do with 5G? Sorry I am not seeing the link here.I wonder how this fit cost analysis of CDN?

Caching them real time, one time phone calls ;)Most of the stuff people do on mobile devices doesn't benefit from caching.
More like that "5G roll-out" is just a marketing buzzword. They outta throw in some AI and blockchain while they are at it.

I don't think ISPs can cache netflix. Not unless netflix explicitly makes it happen.Mavendependency - Saturday, March 24, 2018 - link

5G is faster than current technology. So the NSA will need faster servers with more storage capacity to keep up their... aeh... good work!Wardrop - Friday, March 23, 2018 - link
Datacentre in a 1U enclosure. You'd think two of these (for redundancy) would surely be enough for any business with up to 1000 employees.Just need a way to make the patch panels more compact now.

Storage maybe but 56 cores for 1000 employees? Plenty of companies with less employees than that would need more processing power.CheapSushi - Friday, March 23, 2018 - link
Man, really looking forward to QLC NAND for bulk storage.CheapSushi - Friday, March 23, 2018 - link

I use only a few TB for my bulk storage, I completely agree QLC would be perfect to replace my HDD.bill.rookard - Saturday, March 24, 2018 - link

First photo looks like 2 long chips. Still wow, future is now old man :)
