<p>Uncover the benefits of using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) when converging your data and storage networking for virtual desktop infrastructure.</p> 

With 10 GbE technology enhancements enabling IP storage to leapfrog the performance of Fibre Channel at 2 Gbps or 4 Gbps, data center managers no longer need to make performance compromises in order to benefit from the traditional advantages of Ethernet over more specialized switching fabrics.

Turner Padget Graham & Laney, P.A., a Columbia, South Carolina-based law firm with five locations throughout the state sought to consolidate legacy servers, improve availability for remote users, boost storage capacity and implement a new disaster recovery DR/BC strategy. Read this case study to learn about their new Dell and VMware solutions. 

When it was determined the IT infrastructure on Carnival ships was consuming too much power and occupying too large a footprint, Carnival Cruise Lines engaged Dell Consulting Services to evaluate its options. Read this case study to learn more about Dell's robust solution. 

The protocol utilized to transport data between servers and storage for High Performance Computing (HPC) and to define a Storage Area Network (SAN) is Fibre Channel(FC). Fibre Channel is an "invisible" protocol, because it is only known to the technicians that implement it and keep it working. This paper will provide an overview of this technology. 

Implement cost-effective disaster recovery that leverages reliable data replication, OS image integrity and efficient workload provisioning to achieve faster RTO and RPO. Explore a configuration that implements Fiber Channel, IP and Ethernet networks and more to manage the provisioning of workload identities and network configuration. 

Dell Compellent Storage Center arrays utilize a virtualized architecture. This architecture not only enables technology independence between servers and storage, but it also supports key features such as thin provisioning, automated data tiering, and data protection, all of which enable exceptionally high efficiency in managing data storage. 

This white paper was written to help those that are considering or have already made the move to iSCSI, and to enable a smooth adoption of Dell EqualLogic. Read now to learn more. 

Watch this video for a brief overview of the future-ready Dell/EMC CX4 Series arrays, focusing on the innovations, such as UltraFlex modular I/O and virtual provisioning of this highly flexible storage platform. 

Discover how companies are driving greater agility and efficiencies for customers within private cloud environments through the deployment of next-generation Fibre Channel technologies to create pooled resources that can be delivered on-demand for real-time applications and services. 

In this week’s Computer Weekly, we talk to the British Library about the enormous storage challenges of digitising its printed archive; we examine the state of the UK IT jobs market and the skills that are most in demand by employers; and we look at case studies of the best virtualisation projects.
