ANALYST BRIEF:
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.
EZINE:
Storage networks are an essential element of server virtualization, but there are several options available today. Is it better to invest in a separate SAN or move storage over Ethernet using iSCSI or FCoE technology? This article considers the tradeoffs of each approach and presents important considerations for both.
WHITE PAPER:
Using Solid State Disks (SSDs) in enterprise storage arrays is one of today's hottest storage trends. This whitepaper discusses the best practices for deploying SSDs in an OLTP environment using Dell EqualLogic PS Series arrays.
WHITE PAPER:
Dell EqualLogic™ PS Series iSCSI SANs help to reduce the cost and complexity of IT Consolidation and uniquely integrate with VMware® Infrastructure to enable the fully virtualized IT environment.
CASE STUDY:
This one page white paper outlines how a legal services provider deployed a dual-controller storage system designed for disaster recovery hosted applications on VMware that leverages deduplication for optimal storage efficiency and cost savings.
WHITE PAPER:
Storing and managing ever-increasing amount of data presents a formidable business challenge. Midsized companies are particularly challenged, because they typically lack the resources to handle the deluge. You can’t stop the massivegrowth in data, but you can doa better job of managing it.
WHITE PAPER:
This white paper addresses some of the new features in vSphere, as well as how to connect a vSphere 5 environment to a Dell EqualLogic PS Series iSCSI SAN.
WHITE PAPER:
Read this white paper to learn about how Internet SCSI (iSCSI) offers a scalable, simplified, and cost-effective way to implement storage area networks (SANs) using Ethernet components.
WEBCAST:
Watch this webcast to learn how to ensure application security and availability in your VMware environment. Discover how to provide quick recovery of applications and how to use automation for server application protection.
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.
