This whitepaper explains how building a smarter storage infrastructure based on the business value of data can enable you to address your data storage requirements efficiently and at the lowest cost. 

This FOCUS report of key findings presents the highlights of an end-user survey conducted in April 2009, outlining the current state of virtualization adoption, pain points, barriers to expansion, and management requirements. 

Server virtualization is the most substantial shift in IT so far this decade. Adoption is high, and firms are virtualizing mission-critical and business-critical applications. Forrester surveyed 124 of its global clients on the topic of storage for virtual server environments. 

Solid-state storage will eventually nudge spinning disks out of our data centers, but right now it's still mostly for well-heeled shops with power-hungry applications. But with new technology developments addressing some of solid state's shortcomings and larger-scale manufacturing, solid-state storage could come down to earth soon. 

This tech report demonstrates how using Dell EqualLogic SAN Snapshots can improve data protection in a VMware Virtual Infrastructure environment. 

Solid-state storage will eventually nudge spinning disks out of our data centers, but right now it's still mostly for wellheeled shops with power-hungry applications. But with new technology developments addressing some of solid state's shortcomings and larger-scale manufacturing, solid-state storage could come down to earth soon. 

This Tech Report will dive deep into the capabilities as well as challenges with open-source storage, as storage pros continue to seek information regarding this increasingly popular storage trend.

In this report, we estimate both the number of older solutions each Dell PowerEdge R710 solution can replace and the payback period for replacing those older solutions. One key finding discovered is that each Dell PowerEdge R710 solution with VMware ESX can replace seven Dell PowerEdge 2850 solutions, and could yield a payback in under 18 months. 

In this report, we estimate both the number of older solutions each Dell PowerEdge R710 solution can replace and the payback period for replacing those older solutions. One key finding discovered is that each Dell PowerEdge R710 solution can replace up to nine HP ProLiant DL385 solutions, and could yield a payback in under 9 months. 

Learn how VKernel's Chargeback Virtual Appliance helps companies gain cost visibility and chargeback on resource utilization; recover costs of ESX Infrastructure; and measure resource consumption by applications, resource pools and clusters.
