Making the case for migration | 2009-10-08 | IBM |
| This brief describes how Gerber Scientific, working with an IBM storage implementation team, migrated its production SAP applications and Oracle database from an existing proprietary storage infrastructure to the IBM XIV Storage System. IBM Rational Performance Tester was used to simulate the target SAP workloads during the project's proof of concept (POC) phase. Since completing the migration from the previous storage array, Gerber Scientific has benefitted from the XIV system's ability to deliver significant increases in application performance as well as substantial operational and cost efficiencies. Today, IBM XIV storage is the company's exclusive SAP production storage platform

Success Story: VCUHS | 2009-10-08 | IBM |
| VCUHS IT management felt it imperative to standardize on
a single vendor. "By then, IBM XIV was available," Johnson
recalls. "We realized that it was either the best stuff since
sliced bread or just smoke and mirrors. Our need was
great, so we gave it a try. During the proof of concept, we
tried every possible stress test we could think of, and in a
mixed workload environment. The XIV system either
matched or beat the performance on our existing arrays
every time."

Cornell Lab of Ornithology Pairs Dell Servers With Intel Processor Technology, and Dell EqualLogic Storage to Save Six Figures | 2009-10-01 | Dell |
| Cornell Lab of Ornithology needed a consistent backup and disaster recovery solution to protect terabytes of critical data amassed by researchers to further conservation and explore the biodiversity of the planet. Server sprawl also threatened the efficiency of IT operations. The Lab consolidated multiple backup systems on Dell EqualLogic iSCSI SANs for data protection and disaster recovery solutions that provide full recoverability of data. It also virtualized servers with VMware and Dell PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon processors to eliminate server sprawl and improve manageability and efficiency.

Financial Transactions and Personal Data Security - Is Your Customers#$# Data Safe? | 2009-10-01 | Grant Thornton International |
| The risk associated with collecting and holding individual personal data for a Money Service Business (MSB) is both very real and very serious. In 2007, a major Canadian bank lost a computer backup file that contained individual personal data of 470,000 of its customers.3 In 2008, Statistics Canada confirmed that a theft of completed census questionnaires had occurred.4 And as recently as August 2009, the US Justice Department charged three men in connection with orchestrating the theft of over 130 million credit and debit card numbers.5 These examples - and many more like them - have sounded the warning bell to other organizations that customer privacy is not to be taken lightly.
