A floor plan strongly affects the power density capability and electrical efficiency of a data center. This paper provides structured floor plan guidelines for defining room layouts and for establishing IT equipment layouts within existing rooms. 

The DXi7500 was recommended more highly than competitive offerings, and it contained everything desired in a backup solution. 

Increased adoption of VMware infrastructure and continued performance advances in hardware and software have driven the virtualization of Microsoft Exchange. This paper will detail experiments that demonstrate the efficient performance and scalability of Exchange when running inside a virtual machine on a VMware vSphere™ 4 environment. 

This paper examines the impact of de-duplication in a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup and recovery environment. 

Data de-duplication eliminates redundant data, saving valuable storage space, also it may be deployed via hardware- or software-based approaches-each having advantages and trade-offs. 

This white paper outlines some of the top ways that organizations can achieve great efficiencies in their environments and drive benefits ranging from steep capital savings to streamlined operations. It also illustrates how Datalink customers have implemented these methods in their architectures. 

The Sun Unified Storage Simulator is provided as either a VirtualBox or VMware virtual machine that provides a simulated experience of a Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System with 16 simulated disk drives. 

Regulatory compliance, legal discovery and storage management issues are driving more organizations to consider email archiving. Here's what you should know when making decisions about your organization's use of email archiving technology. 

The power/density paradox hinders end users from utilizing the very floor space that high density systems were intended to conserve. This brief explores what the power/density paradox is and how IT professionals can mitigate the risk. 

This IBM white paper discusses how virtualization tools can help you build an infrastructure that is simpler, more cost efficient and more flexible. 

In this transcript, you'll learn about the newest advances in open storage and SSD technologies and find out about an innovative approach that combines these technologies to deliver fast, simple, innovative new tools for storage management. 

"Company ABC" is a successful enterprise with an annual storage growth rate of 70%, and a series of data management challenges. Check out this report to see what they uncovered by conducting a file system inventory -- and how they used that information to reduce costs and improve data management. 

Learn how you can reduce your storage costs by 50% or more using intelligent file virtualization to optimize storage tiering. The basic idea of storage tiering is to match the business value of each chunk of data with the cost of storing that data. Watch Renny Shen of F5 Networks explain how virtualizing storage management can save up to 70%.
