Using Tape Virtualization to Improve Backup Performance | 2008-08-01 | Taneja Group |
| Virtual Tape Library (VTL) technology is arguably the easiest way to introduce disk into a tape-based backup infrastructure. A VTL is a set of disks that emulate tape; one sees a disk array, the backup software sees a tape drive or a tape library. The use of tape virtualization will improve backup performance and reliability while allowing one to preserve investment in the existing tape infrastructure. But choosing the right VTL technology depends upon what particular backup issues are most important in one's environment. This paper considers these issues, and then provides a quick review of Sun Microsystems' tape virtualization solutions, identifying how their offerings can best be leveraged to produce an optimized backup infrastructure.

Five Essential Considerations for Exchange 2007 Implementations | 2008-07-22 | Dell MessageOne |
| As the latest release of the most commonly used corporate email platform, Exchange 2007 represents the future of email. By the end of 2008, 50% of organizations that use Exchange are expected to move to Exchange 2007.
For most organizations, taking full advantage of Exchange 2007's new features will require a substantial investment. Unlike previous upgrades, Exchange 2007 requires the replacement of existing servers with new 64-bit hardware and software. In addition, new options for high availability and new server roles will require many organizations to re-architect their entire Exchange environment and this can be expensive to implement. While Exchange 2007 provides a solid foundation for corporate email, it has minimal support for many of the security, high availability, archiving, and compliance features that many organizations now require. As a result, administrators should leverage the Exchange 2007 upgrade to re-architect their broader messaging environment to incorporate solutions that address these important issues.
