The challenge of saving power while maintaining server performance has become a primary concern within the IT environment. But, the latest generation of Adaptec RAID controllers provides Intelligent Power Management software and supports a variety of techniques that, together, enable significant savings without compromising performance. 

The widening disparity between CPU performance and that of storage subsystems has spawned numerous solutions that do not fix the problem. This white paper exposes this fundamental flaw and introduces the means available today to substantively reduce power consumption while improving performance: Fusion-io's flash memory-based storage technology. 

With throughput and seek times faster than disk arrays, data centers are including NAND flash as part of their server infrastructure. Fusion-io offers solid state storage solutions with NAND flash that provides integrity for data exceeding today's solid state storage solutions and surpasses enterprise-class rotating magnetic storage devices. 

Nexsan and FalconStor have formed a strategic venture to deliver an integrated system designed to optimize almost any backup environment and deliver immediate ROI. Read this presentation transcript to find out how you can minimize reliance on tape, reduce storage consumption and improve operational efficiency. 

The power/density paradox hinders end users from utilizing the very floor space that high density systems were intended to conserve. This brief explores what the power/density paradox is and how IT professionals can mitigate the risk. 

Read this paper to learn how Precision Automation and Robotics India Ltd reduced server footprint by 50 percent and energy costs by 30 percent by implementing an infrastructure based Dell™ PowerEdge™ blades running virtualization and Dell/EMC SAN array. 

Today’s businesses are being pushed to consolidate their data centers, address power consumption and implement virtualization in an effort to reduce operating costs and go green. But what are the best routes to achieving these objectives? 

Cinepolis saves 2,000 USD with green IT practices using server and storage virtualization from Dell by reducing server sprawl to decrease its data center footprint and lower the cost of power and cooling. 

Disasters happen in many ways and can disrupt or even completely destroy your business. What happens if and when disaster strikes? Do you have duplicate copies of your mission critical data stored offsite? How fast and reliable will your recovery of information be? Will your company survive? 

Data de-duplication has been described as the next evolutionary step in backup technology. Many vendors lay claim to the best data de-duplication approach, leaving customers to face the difficulty of separating hype from reality. This document provides the background information required to make an informed data de-duplication purchasing decision. 

Data center energy costs continue to take up a significant portion of IT budgets, and it seems that there is no end in sight. This paper addresses, in a unified and systemic way, many of the power consumption issues that IT has been grappling with in piecemeal fashion. 

Today's data centers are in the midst of a revolution originating from the move to virtual server architectures powered by solutions such as VMware. Based on Datalink's experience protecting enterprise data centers, this white paper provides practical advice and considerations surrounding backup and recovery of virtual server infrastructures. 

Deduplication can decrease the physical spend on data center footprint, power, cooling, and physical tape and media costs. This podcast defines deduplication and explains how it can make your data center more efficient. It will also shed some light on what factors you should evaluate when considering a deduplication strategy.
