At the core of the virtual data center is the automation of processes that align operations with current business policies. Being able to synthesize this operational information into knowledge of behavior is the crux of Fluid Data storage. 

Data storage backups are a necessary element of data protection plan, but they're often the biggest source of security woes. Learn everything you need to know about keeping your backups secure in this tutorial. 

In this presentation transcript, Ashish Nadkarni, Senior Analyst and Consultant at Taneja, explores the three tiers that are typically the most beneficial for SMBs: primary, secondary, and tape. 

Ovum analyses data growth, big data, disk shortages, public cloud storage, flash memory, and other storage trends. 

At the NERSC Center in California, tape is simply seen as extremely efficient, cost-effective, scalable—and reliable—storage. With over 13 PB of data on tape (growing at around 60% p.a.) and decades of history, NERSC has the facts to prove tape’s capabilities; so much so that it does not employ additional copies. 

In this podcast, Greg Shulz, founder and senior analyst at Stillwater, Minn.-based StorageIO Group, discusses how storage managers can reduce their data footprint, and the various tools for managing your data footprint which include - data archiving, thin provisioning and data deduplication. 

A Fluid Data architecture automates data management at a more granular level to adapt to storage admin needs. Detailed information about each block is captured in action, providing system intelligence inside the volume. A sophisticated data movement engine uses this metadata, or data about the data, to intelligently store, recover and manage data. 

With Dell Compellent, enterprise data is actively, intelligently managed throughout its lifecycle so you can constantly adapt to changing business conditions. This paper discusses eight Dell Compellent technologies that combine to create new levels of efficiency and flexibility while cutting cost now and in the future. 

Storage demands are accelerating by leaps and bounds. But with IT budgets tightening, decision-makers need to stretch the bounds of innovation to deal with both the cost and complexity of storage. This comprehensive white paper explores the 6 top ways to reduce storage costs and complexity. 

Check out this video to see how purpose-built, scalable storage solutions are the key to maximizing efficiency in regulated data-intensive storage environments, and how the Imation InfiniVault data archive solution is specifically designed to help companies lower storage costs, meet compliance requirements and protect data. 

Virtualization has changed the dynamics in today's data center. Having visibility to the constant changes being experienced in a virtualized environment is key to understanding how to maximize virtualization in your data center. Learn how IBM Tivoli Productivity Center can provide that visibility. 

Storage is perhaps the most critical component of a virtual infrastructure. This expert e-guide explroes VMware storage management, vSphere 5 storage boost, memory problems fixes, and more.
