Discover why the data grid offers improved data access that can create a competitive edge, improve financial performance, and sustain customer loyalty. 

The purpose of data deduplication is to increase the amount of information that can be stored on disk arrays and to increase the effective amount of data that can be transmitted over networks. Read this white paper from Quantum Corporation to learn more about data deduplication today. 

Enterprises of all sizes are building flexible storage infrastructures using iSCSI and advanced virtualization technologies to achieve a flexible and dynamic IT infrastructure that is simple to manage and scale. Read this white paper to learn more. 

Constant product innovation has contributed to a thriving equipment-manufacturing industry, however, fewer time-saving tools are available to QA than developer groups. As a result, testing is becoming an innovation barrier. This paper examines the innovation barrier: its causes, effects, & what’s needed to restore the vigorous pace of innovation. 

This white paper provides an overview for deploying SQL Server in a virtualized environment for VMware ESX 3.5 Update 4 (U4) running on the latest PowerEdge M610 and M710 blade servers and EqualLogic PS6000XV iSCSI storage arrays.
