In order to quantify the performance of several backup and recovery offerings, engineers ran a series of tests on a VMware ESX server environment configured with three virtual machines that were connected to a Fibre Channel storage area network. Read this paper to learn the results. 

Getting data moved over to a new server is more than merely copying the most recent files and folders to that machine. File security, permissions, shared folders and local groups facilitating access need to be maintained. 

Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) is the disciplined planning needed to prepare for a natural or man-made emergency that affects service availability. This data sheet presents an effective solution for COOP from HP. 

This paper proposes several sample virtualization architectures based on Dell's server and storage products. Architectures are divided into three main categories: Small, Medium, and Large. These categories are based on the features and capacity of each product, as well as the complexity of the overall architecture. 

In this case study read how Hot Schedules needed to design and deploy a new data center infrastructure that could accommodate rapid annual business growth while also controlling hardware acquisition and power consumption costs. 

Business Ready Configurations for Virtualization are pre-configured, easy to order, bundled solutions that include Dell PowerEdge™ blade servers, Dell EqualLogic™ SAN, and VMware vSphere™. This white paper provides a detailed reference architecture for the Business Ready Configurations. 

Today, new levels of automation and integration between VMware and Dell EqualLogic arrays are now available to protect the entire virtualized infrastructure. Dell EqualLogic PS Series virtualized iSCSI SANs have been a popular storage choice in VMware-based environments. 

Dell™ EqualLogic™ Auto- Snapshot Manager / VMware Edition enables administrators to quickly and easily create hypervisor-aware snapshots of VMs-helping simplify data management, enhance scalability of data protection and recovery, and increase application performance. 

In the automotive world, testing is part of the culture, and it extends to the IT team where initiatives are undertaken with scientific precision. Such was the case with SGF, a Bavarian maker of automobile parts that was seeking a storage management solution. As this Case Study shows, SGF found the perfect match with Northern Storage Suite. 

In this chapter on Continuous Data Protection, you will learn how to use recent technical innovations to instantaneously recover data while enhancing overall data protection to make it faster, easier and more efficient. 

This case study explains how Gaston County, N.C. eliminated server sprawl, implemented a reliable disaster recovery plan and consolidated applications using Compellent as their storage foundation. 

This analysis looks at the positive business impact of networked storage virtualisation solutions that improve storage asset utilisation, reduce the administrative costs of provisioning new storage systems, and improve application availability. 

Designed around a revolutionary silicon-based storage architecture known as ioMemory, the ioDrive is the world's most advanced NAND clustering technology with performance comparable to DRAM and storage capacity on par with today's hard disks, giving you the power to improve both memory capacity and storage performance by up to one thousand times.
