Tune into this webcast to discover why Tripwire should be your go-to solution for managing the configurations of your physical and virtual IT infrastructures. 

This paper covers projects involving new construction or upgrades to the data center’s physical infrastructure - the power, cooling, and other physical systems that house and protect the data center’s IT equipment. 

Tape export is process of moving data from virtual tape to physical tape. Tape stacking allows multiple virtual tapes to be consolidated onto a single physical tape in order to save on tape media consumption. The concept is very simple and also very useful. Please watch this video for examples of how FalconStor VTL functions. 

To gain full value of virtualization, you need servers that are built to handle the heavy and ever-changing demands of a virtualized and consolidated computing environment. To help you get maximum benefits from virtualization, Intel has built a better physical server platform with unique hardware-assist features to enhance the virtual data center. 

Protecting data that is not in the primary datacenter amplifies all the traditional challenges of backup - either there is not enough bandwidth to accomplish a remote backup in the window available, or the process of handling and shipping tapes is in the hands of non-IT employees. 

Because their data center was reaching its physical limits, Taco, Inc. found their backup and restore processes getting noticeably slower. With their exposure to IT disaster scenarios a distinct reality, they turned to Syncsort for their data protection needs. 

Enterprises, government agencies and service providers are increasingly employing virtualized environments to decrease costs, consolidate data center space and reduce environmental impacts. This paper describes a comprehensive set of CA tools for managing virtual environments. 

This document provides recommendations and best practices for moving a user’s data from their physical corporate workstations into the virtual Citrix XenDesktop environment. 

In this month's issue of Virtual Data Center, learn how to reduce the number of physical servers even more by focusing on the process of virtual machine placement on host servers. 

The support team for Microsoft SQL Server has published guidelines for virtualizing this database engine. Read this paper to learn how to move forward with the process and create supported SQL Server virtual machines (VMs) that can be hosted on Dell PowerEdge servers. 

This whitepaper will provide an overview of the benefits of Storage Resource Management as a "front end" to data deduplication. We will demonstrate how an SRM tool such as Northern Storage Suite can work in concert with data de-duplication technologies to efficiently streamline data and assure optimal performance of an organization's storage inf... 

Virtualization basically means inserting a software layer between your hardware and your operating system. This decouples the operating system from the hardware and allows you to run many operating systems at the same time on top of that same physical piece of hardware. Read this short paper to learn about the benefits of using virtual servers. 

Virtualization introduces fundamental changes to IT, and adds significant management challenges. Read this informative white paper written by Enterprise Management Associates to learn what these challenges are as well as some of the solutions and strategies used to deal with them.
