RAID White Papers

This report helps you to understand some of the benefits and practicalities of Windows Server 2012 and the latest incarnation of the System Center management environment. Beyond the early experiences reported here, it’s important to understand that with these latest server and tool releases, Microsoft is enabling its customers to put a strategic foundation in place for the future.

In this paper, we'll compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of various deduplication techniques.

Working with CVSI to deploy IBM Tivoli, BladeCenter and System Storage technologies

This whitepaper examines HP BladeSystem and how and why it is the ideal platform for virtualization during these changing economic times.

This study provides the market size and initial five-year forecast for the worldwide PBBA market as part of IDC's Storage Solutions coverage.

Now more than ever, IT managers must spend carefully to keep from negatively impacting the bottom line. Download this paper to learn how you can realize significant savings in storage.

This paper describes a series of tests run to determine the viability of continuous data protection (CDP) using InMage DR Scout along with Agami Systems AIS 3000 series of unified storage systems.

System reliability is a vital component in Storage Area Network (SAN) design that keeps your production environment operating and avoids data loss and downtime. But since SANs are built using both mechanical and electronic parts, component failures due to usage, environmental factors, or manufacturing defects are not uncommon. Even in completely redundant systems, controllers can fail, fans can stop operating, power supplies can burn out, and disk drives can degrade or fail.

Download this exclusive report to learn how NetApp direct-to-tape technology can reduce the number of media servers required to support a solution, which can reduce hardware, software, and management costs by utilizing the VTL to perform tape exports.

Download this exclusive article to gain insight on why a NetApp SnapVault backup system is 54% less expensive than a similar tape-based backup solution over a typical backup product lifecycle.

The IBM System x 3350 is a rack server designed for single-application hosting. This datasheet explains the details and benefits of the x3350, including its energy efficiency, high availability and outstanding performance, as well as the integrated systems management tools that help you manage complexity.

For workloads that traditionally require dual-processor systems, such as e-mail and collaboration, Web serving and Java-based applications, IBM offers the System x3350. It's also ideal for server deployments that require a dedicated server with high RAS features. For extensive details, download the product guide.

When the IBM System x3350 was compared directly with Dell's PowerEdge R300 under the new SPECpower ssj_ops/watt benchmark, the IBM server scored more than 15 percent better than the equivalent from Dell. See all the details in this special report.

Selecting the right server for your business-critical applications is an investment in the future of your business. This datasheet explores the IBM System x3650 server, and shows how it can save energy costs, help you manage growth and complexity, and protect valuable IT investments.

Discover the IBM System x3650, a highly available and expandable, rack-dense, 2U dual-socket SMP server, ideal for application serving in Web environments. This product guide gives an overview of the x3650, as well as key features and specifications of this flexible, reliable, and simple-to-manage server.

Energy use and environmental impact are hot topics right now. But it's not just the environment at stake, it's your IT budget. By "going green" with the energy efficient IBM System x servers featuring Intel Xeon processors, you can cut your energy costs by half and save floor space to make room for future growth. Get the details on these benefits and many others in this Solution Brief from IBM.

This document will explain the behavior and benefit of implementing Diskeeper defragmentation software with intricate modern hardware technologies such as RAID, NAS and SANs. SANs, NAS devices, corporate servers, and even high end workstations and multimedia-centric desktops characteristically implement multiple physical disk drives in some form of fault tolerant disk striping (RAID).

Learn how HP CloudSystem Matrix and HP 3PAR Utility Storage provide a solid, flexible foundation for your cloud environment.

Learn how to balance the positive and negative effects of memory utilization in virtual infrastructures to better handle system workload and priority--while improving server utilization

Offshoring Is a Cost Effective Solution to Your IT Needs

New technologies emerge every day, but not all of them pay off, and adopting them too early might be risky for your organization.

Ultra High Speed Internet, TV and local/long distance phone services combined into 1 superior service.

Most data storage devices can be broadly characterized as either fixed media or removable media. This paper briefly examines and compares magnetic tape, magneto-optical disk, and removable magnetic disks, and identifies their positioning, future trends, and market applications.

Disk in the form of - that is, disk presented as tape - can be added without requiring huge changes to existing backup strategies. This is more straightforward than adding disk into an existing environment, because adding disk without the VTL interface requires complex and unavoidable changes to existing strategies.

As your data volume and value increases, reduce your risk with the IBM System Storage DS3400 Express. This direct-attach storage (DAS) or SAN solution is scalable and expandable to consolidate your data. It’s also flexible and affordable for small and midsize businesses. Get all the details at a glance in this data sheet.
