EGUIDE:
Fibre Channel remains the technology of choice for most virtual server environments even as iSCSI storage-area networks (SANs) gain traction. Read this SearchStorage.com Special Report to learn how some storage professionals are evaluating 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) iSCSI SANs as they expand their virtual server environments.
WHITE PAPER:
When it comes to choosing a storage area network (SAN) infrastructure, questions about performance, ease-of-use and cost are sure to come up. This technical brief reviews key differences to consider between Ethernet SAN and Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure when choosing a storage solution for your next virtual server or cloud storage project.
WHITE PAPER:
Rapid increases in both the operating speeds and general complexity of SAN technologies, exacerbated by the high change rates demanded of enterprise IT organizations, significantly increase demands on the fiber optic physical layer. Check out this white paper to learn more.
ASSESSMENT TOOL:
Which director draws less power, the Brocade 48000 or the Cisco MDS 9513? Calculate environmental characteristics (AC power draw, heat generated), as well as port and bandwidth performance for the directors based on the number of blades present
WHITE PAPER:
Rising energy costs and growing volumes of information mean is a sign to increase the efficiency of storage systems and reduce power consumption. Employing capabilities such as disk drive spin-down, virtual provisioning, and tiered storage design in Dell/EMC CX4 Series storage arrays helps IT organizations keep energy costs under control.
