whitepaper Scale-Out Storage and the Dynamic Data Center of the Future2008-10-31 Network Appliance
  Combining scale-out architecture with emerging server virtualization capabilities is resulting in a new IT paradigm - a dynamic enterprise data center with the ability to rapidly commission and decommission applications, provision and reprovision resources, and nondisruptively migrate applications and data to adapt to changing service-level requirements. This paper describes the requirements for scale-out storage in the enterprise in terms of resiliency,scalability, manageability, and other factors.   
whitepaper The Shortcut Guide to Managing Disk Fragmentation2008-09-05 Diskeeper
  Fragmentation results in significant money and time drain on IT resources. The Shortcut Guide to Managing Disk Fragmentation helps IT professionals, analysts, and engineers understand the benefit of an automatic hands free disk defragmentation strategy across the enterprise. This in-depth independent study covers disk architecture, examines how the pervasive problem of fragmentation affects computer systems and explores effective approaches in reducing these pains. It outlines the mechanics of automatic defragmentation, how to select and deploy an automatic defragmentation solution and the ROI involved.

whitepaper Reducing Cost, Risk, and Complexity for Compliance Data in Financial Services2008-10-30 Network Appliance
  The financial services industry is facing increasing pressure internationally to comply with a range of new and varied regulations. Enterprise-wide data management and rigorous record keeping are no longer luxuries; they have become life-supporting essentials. This paper examines the business requirements for an advanced, unified architecture, rather than the more typical silo-based approach, to address today’s financial sector compliance requirements.   
whitepaper Data Center Storage Consolidation with 4Gb Fibre Channel (FC) SANs2008-10-30 Network Appliance
  Information is a dynamic force in the enterprise, and the rapid acceleration in the amount of data being collected and generated at most companies requires a strategic approach to storage infrastructure. This document describes how 4Gb FC infrastructure from NetApp and Brocade improves storage consolidation, and focuses on how deploying a next-generation 4Gb consolidated SAN can benefit organizations.   
whitepaper Virtualized Environments using Microsoft Virtual Server and NetApp2008-10-30 Network Appliance
  Virtualization provides many benefits, including stretching the IT budget, getting more out of hardware, and increasing efficiency. Through combining the storage power of NetApp, the virtualization technology of Microsoft, and the know-how of Avanade, the custom application development space has been completely revolutionized by virtualization.   
whitepaper Enhancing Your IT Environment Using Snapshots2008-01-24 Dell EqualLogic
  Snapshots and other SAN data copies enable your SAN to work harder for you. By using copies for various tasks, you get "double duty" from your data - while production operations continue at peak performance and parallel processing can take place. This report discusses how snapshots enhance backups by improving data integrity, reducing application disruption, offloading application servers from backup processing, and enabling quick restore.

whitepaper Building a Highly Reliable SAN2008-01-24 Dell EqualLogic
  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 mechanical and electronic parts, component failures, environmental factors, or manufacturing defects are not uncommon. This paper discusses best practices in total system design to achieve the highest levels of service.

whitepaper SAN Deployment on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Using Emulex HBAs and CNAs2008-10-01 Emulex
  With the unrelenting escalation of costs for power, cooling and data center footprint, IT managers are under pressure to extract even more performance from their hardware and software. Server virtualization never made more sense. Microsoft's Hyper-V is the next-generation hypervisor technology that provides highly efficient server virtualization fully integrated with Windows Server 2008. In order to fully realize the benefits of Hyper-V, servers much have access to network storage that is fast and flexible. To that end, recent studies have shown that 60% of virtualized servers are connected to a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN), enabling fail-over cluster support and rapid migration of virtual machines.
