Microsoft is targeting close to zero downtime with SQL 2008 with availability and recovery features that only used to be available via third-party solutions. This white paper discusses the evolution of High-availability from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008, and the tools available to minimize downtime in the Enterprise. 

Please review this presentation transcript featuring Andrew Burton, Editor of SearchDisasterRecovery.com, and Jeff Boles, Senior Analyst with the Taneja Group. The transcript documents their discussion about WAN clustering. Find out exactly what you need to set up a WAN cluster and what vendors offer WAN clustering support. 

Traditionally, NAS systems have had limitations in throughput, connectivity, reliability and scalability. Today, a new generation of high-performance NAS is making high-availability for NAS a reality. In this expert podcast, find out about the latest trends in clustered NAS and what it means for storage pros facing increasing data storage growth. 

Storage networks provide the link between the servers that need data and the storage systems that store that data. Too often, however, storage networks are just considered the connective tissue in the storage environment and are often overlooked when greater performance, scalability or new services are needed. 

This article discusses running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on servers configured with Sun™ Logical Domains (LDoms). Sun LDoms virtualization technology allows the creation of multiple virtual systems on a single physical system, and enables fine-grained assignment of CPU and memory resources to an Oracle RAC workload. 

This white paper explains how VTL with SIR reduces storage and replication bandwidth requirements with unique features such as clustered architecture and linear performance aggregation. 

R Systems worked with Intel and Dell to upgrade a 288-node HPC cluster by deploying new customized Dell servers equipped with the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series to help a customer increase aggregate application performance by 200 percent. 

Read this special report that reviews current NAS trends including high-availability clustered storage to address growing storage needs and today's media-rich file environments and more. 

The goal of this study is to determine if a multi‐node Oracle RAC cluster can be replaced with a cluster consisting of fewer Dell PowerEdge 11G nodes (powered by Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 Series), and still process the OLTP workload faster with less power consumption and lower Oracle RAC licensing fees.

Direct PCI Express (PCIe) attached flash storage offers unparalleled performance levels and vastly outperforms SAS/SATA-attached flash storage solutions. However, such PCIe attached flash storage cards have many restrictions. Read this white paper to learn about an enhanced PCIe flash storage solution from Dolphin, in partnership with Fusion-IO. 

This eBook provides comprehensive information about servers and server implementation to help IT managers choose the best option for their storage needs.
