What are the three most important things to procurement teams?

While business ethics are always the foundation, the conversation ultimately comes down to three key factors:

1) Price
2) Contract
3) Delivery speed

Thanks to Jeramy Roesler, Director of Technology Sales at Summus Technologies, for breaking down how we execute on what customers actually care about.

Why are enterprise IT environments moving back to Fibre Channel after years of iSCSI?

While iSCSI remains a staple for many setups, the shared Ethernet ecosystem introduces variables like network congestion, complex configurations, and IP-based security risks.

For mission-critical workloads, IT directors are re-evaluating the value of a dedicated, purpose-built storage fabric. Fibre Channel delivers unmatched predictability, mature zoning, and a reduced attack surface—and with innovations like 64-gig support on PowerStore Elite, organizations no longer have to choose between massive bandwidth and strict operational control.

Let us know in the comments: are you seeing a shift back to dedicated storage fabrics in your environment?

Why Capacity Isn’t the Only Storage Metric That Matters for Data Storage

When planning a storage refresh, most organizations fall into the trap of looking at just one number: raw capacity. But the biggest system isn’t always the right system.

Real storage optimization means understanding your actual workloads—balancing performance, data growth, resiliency, and long-term management so you aren't overbuying today or bottlenecked tomorrow.

Thank you Kyle Peck, Solutions Consultant at Summus, for explaining why rightsizing your environment is the key to smarter IT infrastructure.

Why On-Prem LLMs Are the Safest Way to Adopt Enterprise AI

If your team is using public AI tools to analyze spreadsheets, financial reports, or customer data, your sensitive information could be leaving your company walls.

A great first step to adopting AI safely is deploying a local, on-premises AI model within your organization.

By leveraging hardware like a Dell GB10 running a compact LLM paired with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), you can ingest internal documentation, spreadsheets, and financial metrics. The AI bot can instantly search and retrieve business-specific insights for your team - all while ensuring your data remains on-prem and secure.

At Summus Technologies, we help organizations design and deploy secure, tailored AI solutions from the ground up.

Thank you to Mark Shough, our Data Center Specialist, for sharing these insights!

Is Your Proprietary Data Leaving the Building? Protecting Your Enterprise IP in the Age of AI

Your employees are already using AI, whether you have formal enterprise policies in place or not.

When team members input proprietary code or confidential data into public AI models, your intellectual property is at risk. But trying to ban these tools outright only creates a "Shadow AI" problem that hides the risk rather than solving it.

The answer? Establish secure, internal enterprise controls. When you provide a safe foundation for your team to leverage AI internally, you keep the productivity gains and protect your IP.

Thank you to our Data Center Specialist, Mark Shough, for sharing his perspective on this crucial topic!
