Ask a dozen people what their perception of Cloud Storage is and you would probably get a dozen different answers. Public Storage Clouds and Private Storage Clouds create a further element of confusion.
Each switch and storage system on the SAN must be interconnected -- usually through optical fiber or copper cabling -- and the physical interconnections must support bandwidth levels that can adequately handle the peak data activities that occur. This guide highlights the role of Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and iSCSI connectivity on the SAN.
Cut through vendor hype and determine which RAID level (or levels) is right for your disk array.
Few storage consolidation initiatives are complete without virtualization -- usually server virtualization, but often storage virtualization. Not only does virtualization make storage easier to track and manage, it also makes better use of available storage. But storage virtualization has its downsides as well.
This eGuide provides basic understanding about storage provisioning and best practices from experts who know the technology inside and out. It also delves into more details about which vendors have started to offer provisioning solutions. We hope it becomes a valuable addition to your library.
Here is a list of factors to consider when choosing an e-discovery tool.
This tip outlines four strategies that should be taken into consideration when developing a disaster recovery plan in an environment using data deduplication.
This overview of WAFS and remote offices looks into the role of cache and file limitations, and WAN optimization.
Find out what tiered storage is, the key technologies behind it, and how tiered storage can lower operational costs while improving application performance.
This WAN overview focuses on how to connect SANs over a distance, as well as storage compatibility and data optimization.

Backup and archiving have changed over recent years partly riding on advances in technology. When do you perform backup and when to archive? What are the technical and operational considerations that need to be looked into for each. This paper looks at Simpana Software as a platform for achieving both.
This paper looks at Simpana as a platform for seamlessly extending local backup and archive to a new tier of cloud-based storage. Virtually unlimited storage capacity from our integrated cloud storage partners helps users dramatically reduce costs and operational complexity while improving long-term compliance.
The move to cloud computing is not easy, and its important to get it right the first time. Curtin University of Technology with the help of Optus Business, Alphawest, Cisco, EMC, and VMware, takes the first steps that will provide Curtin with an on-demand access to a fully virtualized private data center.
Asian sports associations looking to improve performance (winning gold medals) can take a leaf off the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA)'s book, when it comes to blending the best in both athletic and IT infrastructure.
