This article is intended for IT managers and storage architects familiar with HPC applications and data requirements in the organization. 

This E-guide addresses configuration and change management in a partially virtual environment. Topics include: reporting on and managing virtual servers, the effects of physical changes on servers, how to extend change management processes like ITIL to cover the SAN, and handling human problems between the networking, datacenter, and storage teams. 

Data--Protect critical information anywhere it goes. Implementing data protection products and processes can be daunting. Make the right decisions by exploring what is available and what makes sense for your organization. Use this simple guide to evaluate different vendor offerings. 

This webcast discusses the top five challenges in enterprise networks, data and server consolidation challenges, performance issues and solutions, best practices for network architecture management, and Blue Coat's vision for addressing these issues. 

This document highlights what you need to know about power consumption, server virtualization and outfitting data centers to make the most of the new technologies. 

In chapter 13 of "Storage Area Networks For Dummies," important concepts of data de-duplication are detailed. The techniques described are designed to "lighten the load" of a company's data storage infrastructure, freeing up crucial storage space, and eliminating multiple instances of the same data. 

As Storage Switzerland writes, APIs such as Iron Mountain’s Archive Services Platform API allow ISVs greater control than do cloud NAS gateways over how and where data is stored. Read this Technology Brief from Storage Switzerland to learn more. 

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%. 

Read this special report that reviews current NAS trends including high-availability clustered storage to address growing storage needs and today's media-rich file environments and more. 

The failure of business-critical applications could be catastrophic to a company. Read this white paper for expert knowledge on business continuity - specifically - making your data more available while driving your costs down. 

Virtualization helps reduce IT costs and increases business agility. Because of this, virtualization technologies are particularly suited to these economic times. This white paper explores the evolution of virtualization, and then gives practical advice on how virtualization can benefit your organization. 

Turner Padget Graham & Laney, P.A., a Columbia, South Carolina-based law firm with five locations throughout the state sought to consolidate legacy servers, improve availability for remote users, increase storage capacity and implement a new disaster recovery DR/BC strategy. In this case study you'll learn about their new Dell and VMware solutions. 

Disk-based backup systems fundamentally change the way we do backup and recovery. But the key is to treat disk as disk and not as tape. Solutions need to recognize the intelligent features of disk and take advantage of those features. This webcast explores how to leverage the advantages of disk for best possible backup performance and maximum ROI.
