whitepaper HP StorageWorks Virtualization2008-02-28 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Storage virtualization has been around for several decades. Virtualization is the aggregation of physical resources into a unified structure, and the presentation of those resources as capabilities that can be consumed by applications, desktop clients, or other types of storage clients. The term Virtualization has really become an umbrella that encompasses a vast array of encapsulation and management technologies and implementation methods.

This paper describes the business motivations for storage virtualization and the benefits it can deliver. Basic storage virtualization approaches are described and their benefits and limitations are compared. Finally, it wraps up with a description of the HP StorageWorks virtualization strategy.

whitepaper At Top Accounting Firm, Client Data Protection Is More Than Dollars and Sense2008-02-05 amerivault
  Tofias PC is one of New England's largest and fastest growing regional accounting firms. For the company, client's data is clearly the firm's most valuable asset. Client data is available right away, not hours or days later. Client records are available at the stroke of a key, at anytime, from anywhere in the country. That's why backing up these important databases and accounting records is mission-critical to the modern accounting firm. Tofias PC found tape backup to be unsecure and to have a higher likelihood of failure due to the inherent sensitivity of tape. Tofias PC data is now backed up with AmeriVault's data vault which is secure and much easier to backup multiple servers at each of the offices.
