System reliability is a vital component in Storage Area Network (SAN) design that keeps your production environment operating and avoids data loss and downtime. 

With the DXi7500, Quantum adds an enterprise-class backup-to-disk target with de-duplication to its arsenal, making it a true provider of scalable, end-to-end de-duplicated secondary storage. 

This white paper maps out how EMC Data Domain deduplication storage systems preserves data integrity, meets stringent RTO/RPO objectives, and integrates easily into a multitude of active SQL or third-party backup environments. 

<p>Too often, organizations choose x86-based platforms over more cost-effective mainframe alternatives. This white paper reviews the key benefits of the mainframe and discusses the savings you can expect by using these systems to support heavy I/O applications in your Linux environment.</p> 

Quantum's solutions allow data de-duplication technology to become part of a complete backup and retention solution set that also includes conventional disk backup, tape, and encryption, all supported with common management tools. 

Using two of the Intel SS4000-E storage servers mirrored for additional redundancy, Philips has cut about USD 10 thousand off the storage cost for more than one terabyte of data by eliminating the need to buy expensive optical disks. 

Watch this expert Podcast to discover how you can confidently manage the explosive data growth and avoid the pitfalls of single server-based backup. 

New research from the International Technology Group demonstrates that the three-year operating and capital expenses for deployment and use of IBM XIV storage systems average 69 percent less than for EMC VMAX equivalents. 

With the volume of data today, traditional disk-based systems can not process quickly enough to make it fully useful. In this white paper, gain insight into the next generation of in-memory computing technology. 

Manufacturers have specific instructions for the care of magnetic tape cartridges, which differ from tape technology to tape technology. It's important to follow those instructions in addition to the general suggestions presented here. Read this tutorial now to find out so much more. 

Managing backup and recovery in today's environment is a multi-dimensional challenge with both near and long term business requirements. This paper explains 5 topics to think about as you design your long-term data retention plans.
