In 2008, Forrester answered 106 end user inquiries on archiving, including questions on eDiscovery, retention, message archiving, and using archiving to cope with the data growth explosion. This white paper summarizes these answers and explains why it's necessary to retain data for regulatory compliance or legal discovery purposes. 

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. 

Built on patented peer storage architecture, the Dell EqualLogic PS Series of Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage arrays offer high performance, reliability, intelligent automation, and seamless virtualization of storage to enable simplified enterprise storage deployment and management, and comprehensive data protection. 

Together HP and Oracle offer a comprehensive suite of information management tools to help efficiently capture, manage, retain, and deliver information over time. This yields a highly integrated hardware and software infrastructure, leveraging storage tiers with differing performance and availability characteristics. Read this paper to learn more. 

This document describes the Sun reference architecture for next-generation data backup using Symantec NetBackup software. 

This report documents the results of ESG Lab testing of the HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform (SVSP). The enhanced high availability and disaster recovery capabilities of asynchronous remote mirroring are also presented. 

Even with the addition of a virtual tape library (VTL) solution to the backup environment, performance bottlenecks caused by inefficiencies on the host side of the backup process remain a challenge. This can now be addressed with an add-on to FalconStor VTL that accelerates backups four to eight-fold and reduces impact on production servers. 

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. 

With read/write speeds that are very close to most expensive models in the industry, the ioDrive's price/performance ratio will leave you saying, "WOW!" Read this white paper for more information on this paradigm-shifting data storage appliance. 

The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the requirements for a basic NetBackup™ architecture to help customers understand which components are required in a data protection solution. 

This IT Briefing describes XenDesktop and XenApp, and how they work together. You'll also learn why storage matters in a virtual desktop environment and how HP LeftHand P4000 SAN solutions complement Citrix desktop virtualization solutions. Finally you'll learn how Intel vPro technologies enhance client virtualization. 

This paper will discuss the importance of an enterprise-class storage infrastructure as you migrate to a virtualized data center. Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area network (SAN) arrays enable advanced integration with the robust server virtualization.
