When it was determined the IT infrastructure on Carnival ships was consuming too much power and occupying too large a footprint, Carnival Cruise Lines engaged Dell Consulting Services to evaluate its options. Read this case study to learn more about Dell's robust solution. 

Read this white paper and discover the benefits of running the HP DL980 on the Linux operating system. Chief among these is the lower cost inherent in a clustered Linux environment. 

In the on-going war between storage technologies, Fibre Channel and iSCSI continue to battle it out. Both have strong arguments to recommend them, and flaws to consider. How do you choose? Read this white paper to find out. 

Troubleshooting is a necessary evil. Where does one start when the operating system does not start, the application does not load or run correctly, the network hangs or a network service does not listen or perform? Linux is noted for being rock solid, stable, and easy to manage but not as user friendly. 

This white paper provides an overview of specific information required for administrating storage on Linux servers connected to the Dell Compellent Storage Center. The information is intended for administrators with at minimum a basic understanding of Linux systems, specifically general tasks around managing disk partitions and file systems. 

The protocol utilized to transport data between servers and storage for High Performance Computing (HPC) and to define a Storage Area Network (SAN) is Fibre Channel(FC). Fibre Channel is an "invisible" protocol, because it is only known to the technicians that implement it and keep it working. This paper will provide an overview of this technology. 

This white paper reviews proof points and best practices for file sharing disaster recovery. 

Dell Compellent Storage Center arrays utilize a virtualized architecture. This architecture not only enables technology independence between servers and storage, but it also supports key features such as thin provisioning, automated data tiering, and data protection, all of which enable exceptionally high efficiency in managing data storage.

With 10 GbE technology enhancements enabling IP storage to leapfrog the performance of Fibre Channel at 2 Gbps or 4 Gbps, data center managers no longer need to make performance compromises in order to benefit from the traditional advantages of Ethernet over more specialized switching fabrics. Read this comprehensive white paper to learn more. 

The Dell/EMC CX4 storage arrays build on the CX reputation of flexibility, ease-of-use, and innovation, and are designed to greatly improve levels of performance and expandability. Learn more about it in this brochure.
