EZINE:
In this month's Storage Magazine Online cover story, our resident backup expert, W. Curtis Preston, shows how to test various systems against your data so you can make the right decisions. Plus, check out features on recession-proof storage tips, four-tier storage design, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP).
WHITE PAPER:
Hands-on lab testing of Fibre Channel directors including measurements by an independent electrician. Learn how power savings can leave more watts and amps available per rack and per floor tile for bladed servers and storage.
WHITE PAPER:
Overwhelming data growth has caused many storage administrators to move from older, legacy SANs to newer and more robust solutions. This white paper provides best practices and guidelines to follow when migrating to a new SAN technology.
WHITE PAPER:
When it comes to choosing a storage area network (SAN) infrastructure, questions about performance, ease-of-use and cost are sure to come up. This technical brief reviews key differences to consider between Ethernet SAN and Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure when choosing a storage solution for your next virtual server or cloud storage project.
WHITE PAPER:
Brocade VDX 6720 Data Center Switches are specifically designed to improve network utilization, maximize application availability, increase scalability, and dramatically simplify network architecture in virtualized data centers.
WHITE PAPER:
The performance, availability, and data protection requirements associated with tier-1 applications were easy to meet when one application mapped to one server and a dedicated storage system. But a virtual world with shared infrastructure and unpredictable workloads creates new demands. Discover how NetApp solutions address this challenge.
ASSESSMENT TOOL:
Which director draws less power, the Brocade 48000 or the Cisco MDS 9513? Calculate environmental characteristics (AC power draw, heat generated), as well as port and bandwidth performance for the directors based on the number of blades present
CASE STUDY:
This white paper delves in to how Sprint-Nextel deployed nine non-disruptive flash storage technologies in order to not only meet customer service satisfaction but exceed all expectations. Find out how this approach improved performance, significantly cut latency, reduced energy consumption, and much more.
