EGUIDE:
RAID has been a mainstay of data protection for decades, but now its days may soon be numbered. In the May 2010 cover story of Storage magazine, Marc Staimer details the various issues of traditional RAID today and highlights how alternative technologies aim to address these problems. More...
CASE STUDY:
With the pressure and exposure of major international tournaments, Tennis Australia had a compelling need for reliable, easy-to-manage storage that could scale quickly. IBM served up their XIV Storage System, which dramatically reduced downtime, cut costs, and simplified storage management. Read this case study for more.
EGUIDE:
Should you go all-in on hyper-convergence infrastructure (HCI) or play it more conservatively? This e-guide explores why traditional storage infrastructures are falling short, why the industry is leaning toward HCI, and more.
EZINE:
A trend in storage product messaging these days is the theme of self-healing storage - the ability of a system to detect and repair hard disk problems automatically. In this month's cover story, independent storage expert Marc Staimer explains how and how well they work. This electronic issue also includes features on storage efficiency...
PRESENTATION TRANSCRIPT:
A RAID is a method of ganging up, so to speak, a bunch of disk drives, such that the availability and/or the performance is actually improved. Read this transcript for more basics of RAID.
WHITE PAPER:
One approach being used to reduce complexity and TCO in the data center is the implementation of new management software for blade servers, increasing business value and trimming expenses that vex IT budgets and divert important resources for transformational projects.
WHITE PAPER:
Get help measuring the performance of your software-based storage and traditional hardware-based storage to better predict your current and future storage needs.
WHITE PAPER:
This document provides a high-level description of how to implement an RMAN backup and recover methodology using Sun® storage arrays as the storage medium. For more information about Oracle best practices, refer to Best Practices for Running Oracle RAC Database with ASM on a Sun Storage 6540, 6580, or 6780 Storage Array.
WHITE PAPER:
Any organization with growing data storage -- and that's just about everybody now -- needs to do something, and what they did in the past won't work in the future. This paper gives a brief view into "new storage" -- flexible, scalable and green.
WHITE PAPER:
With the recent profusion of tiered storage solutions into the enterprise storage market, organizations are increasingly adopting tiering strategies to accommodate rapid data growth while controlling costs. Yet most solutions fail to maximize the potential benefits of tiered storage. Read this white paper to learn more.
