In planning storage solutions for Oracle database applications, Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems offer a range of performance and scalability options, and can be configured to meet specific application requirements for capacity, performance, and reliability. 

While energy consumption of overall data center operations and server-related equipment is generally understood, the story is quite different when it comes to storage systems. This paper offers practical advice on how to measure storage system efficiency and compares the efficiency numbers of several common storage solutions. 

This quick start guide shows how to configure the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System and hosts on the Solaris™ Operating System for Oracle RAC infrastructure deployment. 

This project demonstrates the feasibility of using the Sun™ Storage 7000 Unified Storage System as a repository for the MySQL™ database with the Pentaho Business Intelligence (BI) application. This proof-of-concept study provides steps to configure this setup, using Pentaho BI tools and MySQL database servers. 

Sun offers services that assist IT users with the opportunity to start evaluating open storage architecture strategies and evaluating how an open storage architecture can better support their organization' business and budgetary goals. 

Bringing together innovative software, server, and storage platforms, the Sun and Infobright solution provides an easy to manage, enterprise-class, highly scalable data warehouse with low total cost of ownership. 

Solid state drives (SSD) are going to play everywhere in the enterprise—at the storage array level, at the server level and in users’ notebook computers. This webcast discusses the issues involved in integrating SSDs at these three junctions in enterprise storage environments. 

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. 

Most companies allow far too much data to reside on expensive primary storage. In this presentation transcript, Anne Skamarock Research Director, FOCUS, discusses the most effective methods for reducing and managing the data footprint on primary storage -- including tools and techniques. 

Storage challenges for IT professionals are particularly complex in today's environment of rapid obsolescence of storage hardware and digital media. 

Informational applications have become one of the most critical areas of IT activity. How will these challenges be met? This report examines an option -– use of IBM DB2 9.7 as an alternative to Oracle 11g -– that represents a major new opportunity for organizations to meet escalating demand while reducing IT costs. 

In this white paper, you will learn about some of the underlying technology and architecture behind the capabilities of Concentric Managed Backup. Technical decision-makers should come away from this document with a deeper knowledge of the Concentric Managed Backup platform and its overall architecture.
