Announcing Fungible Storage Cluster with Support for VMware vSphere
7.6.2022 16:01:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Fungible Inc., the dynamic composable infrastructure company, today announced a new release of Fungible Storage Cluster® (FSC) 4.1, providing support for VMware vSphere® environments requiring high-performance.
Virtual machines provide unparalleled flexibility in managing complex and changing compute environments. Workloads running in virtualized environments can have varied storage requirements. For demanding workloads, Fungible’s high-performance all-flash array based on NVMe/TCP is now certified for vSphere and available for VMware virtualized environments. The latest release (4.1) will now enable customers to experience the superior manageability of vSphere combined with the high performance of Fungible’s Storage Cluster.
"NVMe/TCP enables vSphere customers to accelerate their storage performance while leveraging existing investments and lowering complexity,” said Marc Fleischmann, Cloud CTO, VMware, “Through collaboration with innovative companies such as Fungible, VMware continues to build a world-class ecosystem of technology partners that offer our customers flexibility and choice to meet their business requirements.”
Customers can plug FSC storage into their ESXi servers with NVMe/TCP and get what appears to be local storage. The resulting performance is nearly identical to local storage even though it is a shared resource providing economic benefits to match the performance benefits.
“VMware vSphere is the virtualization infrastructure of choice for a variety of mission-critical, performance-sensitive workloads in the data center,” said Eric Burgener, Research Vice President, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies at IDC. “As IT organizations deploy more workloads that require accelerated compute and storage, the use of composable, disaggregated infrastructure (CDI) like that available from Fungible will be deployed more often to enable the more efficient use of these types of resources in VMware environments. IDC expects that the CDI market overall will top $4.8 billion by 2025.”
“VMware has long led the drive to improve flexibility and utilization of data center infrastructure. Now with the latest release of our vSphere certified Fungible Storage Cluster, VMware users can further enhance their ability to tune demanding workloads to get the utmost performance and flexibility,” said Pradeep Sindhu, Co-Founder and CDO of Fungible. “Trade-offs of flexibility versus performance are no longer required. Pairing VMware with NVMe/TCP for storage access with our DPU-powered Storage Cluster allows VMware customers to address the performance requirements of today's modern applications.”
With FSC, vSphere users may also see storage cost savings since FSC’s erasure coding provides robust data protection which can be less expensive than traditional RF1 or RF2 replication. Additionally, Fungible’s composable data infrastructure provides flexibility to compose storage to meet current needs and recompose it to adapt to changing needs providing outstanding investment protection.

Mindbreeze InSpire Reduces Token Maxxing, Turning Runaway AI Costs Into Predictable Enterprise Value28.7.2026 16:03:00 EEST | Press release
Mindbreeze, a leading global provider of AI-based knowledge management solutions, today announced that Mindbreeze InSpire reduces token maxxing, the costly overconsumption of large language model (LLM) tokens that is straining enterprise AI budgets. By retrieving only the most relevant, grounded content and passing it to LLMs with precision, Mindbreeze InSpire lowers the tokens required per answer while improving accuracy, giving enterprises a path to scalable AI with predictable economics. Token maxxing has become one of the most underestimated risks in enterprise AI. As organizations connect generative AI to their data, many default to injecting large volumes of undifferentiated context into every prompt, repeatedly, across thousands of queries. Industry analysis has warned that tokens are becoming the true unit of AI cost, with usage-driven and nonlinear spending that is difficult to forecast and quick to erode margins. The problem is rarely the model. It is what the model is asked
Uptime Institute 16 th Annual 2026 Global Data Center Survey: Deployment of High Density Racks Rising Fast, Operators Face Continued Recruiting and Retention Pressures28.7.2026 16:02:00 EEST | Press release
Uptime Institute today released the findings of its 16th Annual Global Data Center Survey, the most comprehensive study of the digital infrastructure sector. The 2026 results reveal an industry navigating workforce constraints, escalating outage expenses, even as rising costs remain the top concern for management teams. Financial Pressure and Resource Constraints Intensify: While high costs continue to be a primary concern for data center leaders, the 2026 survey also highlights escalating concerns over capacity forecasting, power availability, and supply chain disruptions. Power efficiency gains remain gradual. The industry saw minor improvements in average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) levels this year. While newer facilities may boast highly efficient designs, overall global progress is slowed by legacy infrastructure. The AI and Density Reality Check: Despite market enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence, expectations for AI in data center operations cooled slightly in 2026. Oper
