<p>Object-based file systems offer performance improvements in HPC environments, but many companies are unsure which market options are worth evaluating. This expert e-guide examines several notable offerings and explains how they can eliminate I/O bottlenecks in HPC architectures.</p> 

In today's advanced IT environment, storing data in traditional systems is no longer a viable strategy. Luckily, the cloud offers a much better alternative that can save you money and improve efficiency. Watch this video to learn more about cloud-based storage and review the top benefits of making the switch. 

Using two of the Intel SS4000-E storage servers mirrored for additional redundancy, Philips has cut about USD 10 thousand off the storage cost for more than one terabyte of data by eliminating the need to buy expensive optical disks. 

This paper explores the tools Cisco provides to simplify mass deployments of the VPN Client. The two methods are discussed: the creation of an installation CD-ROM and network-based installations. I will explain how to reduce calls to the Help Desk by locking users out of advanced configuration functions in the user interface. 

This issue of the high performance computing (HPC) e-zine takes a closer look at the latest advances in file systems and the impact they are having on the HPC community. Find out how HPC architectures have evolved over time and obtain best practices for properly implementing Multi Path File Systems (MPFS). 

<p>Learn the details about a new solution that provides file management to all devices – from desktops to smartphones – and allows anywhere-anytime access to corporate files.</p> 

This white paper reviews proof points and best practices for file sharing disaster recovery. 

Such a wealth of deduplication options in the storage market place provides ample choices, but it can also lead to some confusion. Download this e-guide to educate yourself and co-workers about deduplication technology in general, and specifically how to choose the best solutions to meet your business demands. 

Legacy midsize computing systems offer limited processing abilities, but still require significant power and cooling resources. To maintain high performance, flexibility, reliability, and sustainable growth, midsize businesses need a game-changing platform. Oracle’s Sun systems based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series provide that platform. 

Deduplication adoption is growing at a pace very similar to that of disk-based backup solutions: ESG research shows that more and more companies are evaluating deduplication, with 38% of 2010 respondents using a data deduplication solution compared to only 11% in 2008. Read this comprehensive white paper to learn more. 

New research from the International Technology Group demonstrates that the three-year operating and capital expenses for deployment and use of IBM XIV storage systems average 69 percent less than for EMC VMAX equivalents. 

Intel IT and Intel's Data Center Group conducted proof of concept (PoC) testing and total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis to compare two- and four-socket servers based on Intel Xeon processors for a variety of virtualization scenarios. Download this white paper for a detailed look at this test and its results. 

This white paper offers a solution to today's data deluge, offering a high-efficiency storage solution designed for forward-motion sustainability.
