As enterprises turn to server virtualization to enhance IT flexibility while reducing costs, Server virtualization solutions such as VMware Infrastructure software are helping organizations achieve those goals by abstracting applications from physical resources. Read this paper for 7 Ways Compellent Optimizes VMware Server Virtualization. 

This paper examines the impact of de-duplication in a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup and recovery environment. 

Now more than ever, organizations are looking at re-architecting their backup strategy and are learning that deduplication is necessary to consider in ‘next generation’ backup architecture. This webcast explores some deduplication tips and advice on how to streamline your storage costs. 

Now more than ever, organizations are looking at re-architecting their backup strategy and are learning that deduplication is necessary to consider in 'next generation' backup architecture. This podcast explores some deduplication tips and advice on how to streamline your storage costs. 

This paper covers projects involving new construction or upgrades to the data center’s physical infrastructure - the power, cooling, and other physical systems that house and protect the data center’s IT equipment. 

Building the data center to meet the needs of an uncertain future is an expensive and needless exercise in over-engineering. New designs need to be modular, with built-in expansion capabilities. This paper looks at the concepts and benefits of modularity in all the necessary elements of the power system. 

APC® by Schneider Electric enables you to adapt your data center to the changing needs of a business. With the same InfraStruXure® HD-Ready architecture, you can start out with a low-density data center, and later scale up to high density as needed without picking up the phone to call for more capacity, engineering or quotes. 

Read this white paper for a discussion of the many benefits of virtualization, how it has evolved, and how it intersects with data center optimization strategies. 

The purpose of this white paper is to describe the benefits of a clustered architecture in comparison with traditional controller-based architectures, and to discuss the technology that makes HP LeftHand SANs better by design. 

Many organizations lack visibility into the physical and virtual infrastructure in their data center, preventing them from achieving effective infrastructure management. This webcast explores how dependency mapping addresses this issue by enabling you to track and control configurations, model and test proposed changes and execute failure analysis. 

Join Brian Babineau, Senior Analyst with ESG, as he explores high-speed, power-efficient deduplication with industry innovators Nexsan and FalconStor who have formed a strategic venture to deliver the cost saving benefits of these technologies in an integrated system designed to optimize almost any backup environment and deliver immediate ROI. 

This paper examines the evolution of the data integration and quality industry, and explains the benefits of moving toward a single data services architecture. It outlines requirements for a software platform for supporting such an architecture, and, as an example, reviews the BusinessObjects“ Data Services XI Release 3 platform. 

This video discusses the key differentials between the high performance, high efficiency strategy of today's Open Storage approach vs. the high capacity attributes of yesterday's closed storage.
