Sun Storage Consolidation and Virtualization Solution Boosts Performance, Lowers TCO 2007-12-01 Sun Microsystems

KnowledgeBase Marketing provides information and database marketing solutions that enable companies to acquire and manage profitable customer relationships across traditional and Web-based contact points. The company's challenge was to provide cost-effective storage for data growing at more than 35% per year to improve storage utilization and management. They wanted to reduce storage administration and maintenance costs and move data center from Houston to Dallas. Following a storage assessment performed by Sun Professional Services, KnowledgeBase Marketing consolidated multiple storage platforms and implemented an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)/storage virtualization strategy to improve its storage utilization and reduce TCO. As a follow-on project, Sun helped the customer move its data center from Houston to Dallas, Texas, and refresh its mainframe environment.

Busy Airport Becomes an Agile, Secure, Unified Enterprise With Sun Portal and Communication Products 2007-12-01 Sun Microsystems

Athens International Airport has established a reputation as one of the most efficiently run airports in the world. Handling around 1.2 million passengers a month, the airport depends on state-of-the-art technology to ensure safe, efficient operations. The company wanted to improve airport communication and information access; cut data center costs and time to deploy applications; and also provide user authentication and single sign-on for increased data protection. They deployed sun's portal-based access to financial applications, flight information and other business-critical applications as well as e-mail, calendaring and instant messaging with single sign-on and user authentication.

The Path to a Green Data Center 2007-12-01 Brocade Communications Systems

The environment is everyone's concern. That's why Hitachi Data Systems and Brocade have developed eco-friendly solutions to address the needs of today's data centers. As IT organizations worldwide move through the millennium, they face the combined challenge of exponential data growth, dwindling energy resources, rising energy costs, and increased pressure to operate in an environmentally sound manner. Hitachi Data Systems and Brocade are committed to providing organizations with a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and socially responsible approach to managing data center growth and maximizing Storage Area Network (SAN) and File Area Network (FAN) efficiencies.

Power and Cooling Capacity Management for Data Centers 2007-11-21 American Power Conversion (APC)

High density IT equipment stresses the power density capability of modern data centers. Installation and unmanaged proliferation of this equipment can lead to unexpected problems with power and cooling infrastructure including overheating, overloads, and loss of redundancy. The ability to measure and predict power and cooling capability at the rack enclosure level is required to ensure predictable performance and optimize use of the physical infrastructure resource. This paper describes the principles for achieving power and cooling capacity management.

TechNet Webcast: System Center Configuration Manager: The Datacenter (Level 300) 2007-11-06 Microsoft

With the release of Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, the deployment and management of server configurations has taken on a whole new set of capabilities. From centralized deployment automation, to software distribution as well as state and patch management, the data center will benefit from new features and capabilities previously only available across a collection of solution accelerators, if at all. This webcast dives into how Configuration Manager 2007 can provide benefits in the data center, and also in desktop environments.

Running Scientific Data Centers: Five Underappreciated Challenges 2007-11-06 Tabor Communications

As data centers strive to add computational resources to meet the demands of their High Productivity Computing (HPC) applications, they encounter challenges that go well beyond their basic constraints. Tabor Research believes there are five primary challenges that are frequently underappreciated at the time of system acquisition, leading to inefficiencies or barriers to expansion. In this white paper Tabor Research examines each of these challenges and suggests frameworks for addressing these concerns in advance, before they become limiting factors for scientific data centers.

Customer Success Story: Juniper Networks, Inc. 2007-09-01 Varonis

The Challenge
Juniper Networks believes that security is an integral requirement of every job function. As such, many groups within Juniper IT share responsibility for security policy creation, compliance, awareness and training. The challenge in managing unstructured data on file servers has been that different IT groups share a security charter, but not the means to control and administer this information. And, because access to information and ideas is such a driving force of innovation at Juniper Networks, well-intentioned IT and helpdesk groups must mitigate the risk of being overly permissive in granting employee access to file shares.

The Solution
For access control and monitoring of its unstructured data, Juniper Networks deployed Varonis DatAdvantage.
