IDC believes that thin provisioning is a powerful enabling technology with significant benefits to offer storage administrators looking for higher levels of storage efficiency. 

3PAR Thin Provisioning software improves storage system efficiency and optimizes capacity utilization system-wide. No more up-front capacity allocation. No more dedicating resources for each application. No more paying to power, house, and cool disks you may not need for months or years to come, or may never actually need. 

The USDA Rural Utilities Service and NTIA jointly announced the availability of funding and application requirements for the broadband initiatives contained in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Read on to learn about the RUS grant program, its requirements, and how Motorola can work with you toward an RUS approved grant. 

The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series with Intel® Intelligent Power Technology, delivers up to 50 percent lower idle power. By replacing aging single-core processor-based servers with new, more energy-efficient servers, you can gain capacity to grow and to increase IT performance using fewer servers. 

This podcast details a strategy to optimize your virtualized infrastructure performance. Get answers on how to leverage key performance indicators and cross-domain analytics to plan for future capacity demands and improve service levels. Discover the secret to managing your VMware infrastructure performance for optimal resource utilization. 

"Company ABC" is a successful enterprise with an annual storage growth rate of 70%, and a series of data management challenges. Check out this report to see what they uncovered by conducting a file system inventory -- and how they used that information to reduce costs and improve data management 

The Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series provides a foundation for IT management to refresh existing or design new data centers to achieve greater performance while using less energy and space, and dramatically reducing operating costs. 

This APC eBook will discuss power consumption trends in the data center, why energy efficiency matters, how to reduce your power footprint, and benchmark metrics that will help you measure your progress. 

In this expert podcast, learn how new capacity planning and performance management tools utilize automation and an intuitive interface to increase resource utilization and reduce capital expenditures for your virtualized data center. 

This whitepaper explains how building a smarter storage infrastructure based on the business value of data can enable you to address your data storage requirements efficiently and at the lowest cost. 

Please join Peter Eicher, Product Marketing Manager, FalconStor, as he highlights file-interface deduplication for backup capacity reduction. This presentation talks about why data deduplication is needed and how it works. It also describes how FalconStor’s FDS works and what applications it is useful for. 

In virtualized data centers, the fact that all applications and users can impact each other combined with a lack of resource monitoring can cause poor performance and even system downtime. This white paper provides a formula to avoid these problems.
