Block storage in Windows is one of those things that everyone uses but few revisit from first principles. We just published Part 1 of a multi-part deep dive on block storage in Windows, starting deliberately at the lowest level: the concepts the entire stack is built on. You’ll learn: • How disks, sectors, partitions, volumes, and filesystems really relate • What the OS reads at boot (and why it matters) • Why “disk,” “volume,” and “filesystem” aren’t interchangeable • Where RAID fits in the stack - hardware vs. software Part 2 moves up into Windows-specific block storage technologies, their evolution, and tradeoffs. If you’ve ever had to untangle storage terminology - or wanted to truly understand it - this series is for you. Shoot out to Vladimir Fedorov for creating this insightful series.

Meet the experts behind our upcoming SQL Server demo webinar. Join Harmon Sandhu and Josh Dreyfuss for a walkthrough of how enterprise teams are improving operational efficiency for SQL Servers by fixing storage at the root - safely, in real time, and without manual guesswork. This expert-led session breaks down why SQL Server storage gets overprovisioned, what that means for cost and performance, and how teams are addressing it in production today. 📅 January 29, 2026 ⏰ 9:30 AM PST 📍 Live on Zoom Registration link in comments! #SQLServer #CloudOptimization #CloudWaste #DevOps #ITOps #SRE #CloudStrategy #Webinar #CostSavings #CloudOps

Cloud storage doesn’t get wasted overnight - it drifts there. Manual reviews can’t keep pace with multi-cloud scale, and “just in case” provisioning fills the gap. The fix isn’t more dashboards. It’s autonomous, real-time optimization built for modern workloads. #Lucidity #cloudstorage #finops #cloudcostoptimization #blockstorage #AWS #Azure #AutoScaler

Storage costs are surging - but waste is surging even faster. Lucidity gives teams real-time visibility and autonomous optimization to eliminate hidden spend. Want to see how? Book a demo today.

SQL Server storage doesn’t usually fail loudly. It grows quietly and the bill grows with it. Extra capacity gets added to stay safe. Buffers never shrink. Managed disks drift away from real usage. Utilization drops, costs rise, and teams hesitate to intervene for fear of impacting performance. That’s exactly what we’re tackling in our upcoming live webinar. In this practical session, we will show how enterprise teams fix SQL Server storage inefficiencies safely, in real time, and without manual guesswork. Webinar will cover: ✅ The key challenges and priorities for the managed disk underlying SQL Servers ✅ Why SQL Server storage is usually unoptimized, and the consequences ✅ How enterprises are using Lucidity to drive operational efficiency for SQL Servers 📅 January 29, 2026 ⏰ 9:30 AM PST 📍 Zoom 👉 Reserve your spot - https://lnkd.in/gnXn-xQy #SQLServer #CloudOptimization #CloudWaste #DevOps #ITOps #SRE #CloudStrategy #Webinar #CostSavings #CloudOps

Signing out of 2025 with the hope for an even better 2026! Wishing everyone a very #HappyNewYear from all of us at #Lucidity #Newbeginnings #LifeatLucidity #Lucigang #NewYear2026

Tax season once pushed this global financial firm’s storage - and engineering team - to the limit. Manual expansions every weekend and three months of shrinking afterward created a costly annual cycle. With Lucidity AutoScaler, they automated 37,000 tasks, improved utilization 2.5x, and saved $470K without changing their architecture. Storage now scales with their business, and engineers focus on what actually matters. What part resonates most with your cloud team? #Lucidity #cloudstorage #finops #cloudcostoptimization #blockstorage #AWS #Azure #AutoScaler

Calories don’t count during the festive season , especially when a plum cake is involved...... Wishing you a #MerryChristmas and a very #HappyNewYear from all of us at #Lucidity! #LifeatLucidity #secretsanta #Lucigang #gratitude

2025 was about building, learning, and moving forward. From new capabilities across multi-cloud and Kubernetes environments to growing adoption among global enterprises, this year reinforced our belief that cloud infrastructure shouldn’t need constant human intervention. Thank you to our customers, partners, and the amazing Lucidity team for helping us push the boundaries of what modern cloud storage management can be. 🚀 #Lucidity #cloudstorage #finops #cloudcostoptimization #blockstorage #AWS #Azure #AutoScaler

Hope you’re enjoying the festivities! Here’s Wishing you all a #MerryChristmas and a joyful #HappyNewYear ! Scrolling through everyone else’s #SecretSanta posts gave us FOMO, so here we are with a slightly “improvised” but largely true gift exchange. P.S.: No #AI was harmed in the process, maybe just a little overused. #LifeatLucidity #lucidity #Lucigang
