whitepaper HP StorageWorks MSA2000sa Configuration: Best Practices White Paper2008-07-01 Hewlett-Packard
  The MSA2000sa is a direct attach 3 Gb SAS connected 2U Storage Area Network (SAN) solution designed for small to medium size deployments or remote locations. It comes in two models - a basic single-controller model for low initial cost with the ability to upgrade later and a model with dual-controllers standard for the more demanding entry-level situations that require higher availability. Each model comes standard with twelve drive bays able to simultaneously accommodate 3.5-inch enterprise-class SAS drives and archival-class SATA drives.

whitepaper Choosing the Right Hardware and Software for Data Protection Solutions2008-06-18 Mesabi Group
  With the increasing importance of disk-based data protection, the question arises on what are the relative choices of disk and tape for basic operational recovery. The answer lies in what data protection software technologies are used and for what reasons. Businesses can use a combination of disk-based backup, copy, and replication strategies in addition to basic RAID and standard backup/restore software to tape. Disk now takes its place along tape as secondary storage and tape can serve a complementary role to secondary storage disk as tertiary storage.

whitepaper Accelerating Microsoft Windows Vista Migrations with Citrix XenApp2008-03-19 Citrix Systems
  For many organisations, migration to Microsoft Windows Vista is not a question of "if" but "when." This inevitability is causing companies to start asking the difficult questions. This white paper describes how XenApp can help companies simplify and accelerate their migration to Windows Vista by delivering both older legacy applications that are not Vista compatible, as well as newer applications being introduced with the Vista rollout, such as the Office 2007 system.

whitepaper A Case for Flash Memory SSD in Enterprise Database Applications2008-06-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  Due to its superiority such as low access latency, low energy consumption, light weight, and shock resistance, the success of flash memory as a storage alternative for mobile computing devices has been steadily expanded into personal computer and enterprise server markets with ever increasing capacity of its storage. However, since flash memory exhibits poor performance for small-to-moderate sized writes requested in a random order, existing database systems may not be able to take full advantage of flash memory without elaborate flash-aware data structures and algorithms. The objective of this work is to understand the applicability and potential impact that flash memory SSD (Solid State Drive) has for certain type of storage spaces of a database server where sequential writes and random reads are prevalent.

whitepaper Protecting virtual macchines: the "best of Vmworld" approach2008-06-06 Citrix Systems
  By enabling IT managers to move virtual machines (and the applications they host) between physical servers, server virtualization gives them a powerful method for reducing planned downtime and speeding recovery. But protecting virtual machines from unplanned downtime and unforeseen outages is a challenge. IT managers need availability solutions that are simple, non-disruptive and costeffective so they can extend availability to any virtual machine to ensure business resiliency.

This white paper will explore a completely new approach to availability for virtual machines - an approach recognized with the Best of VMworld 2007 - New Technology award.

whitepaper Enabling Enterprise Tape Library Support for Microsoft DPM 2007 Using FalconStor VTL: Joint Solution Enables Unified Global Management and Data Deduplication2008-06-04 FalconStor Software
  Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 is designed to provide continuous data protection for Windows-based servers, with additional features for business-specific Microsoft workloads such as SQL Server, Exchange, and SharePoint. The industry-leading FalconStor Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solution with Single Instance Repository (SIR) for de-duplication complements Microsoft DPM 2007 to meet the data protection and recovery challenges of both Windows and non-Windows enterprise environments. Furthermore, it offers the ability to integrate Microsoft DPM 2007 with popular enterprise library tape systems such as IBM 3494, SUN/StorageTek ACSLS, and HP E-series. This is especially valuable for enterprises that need to move Microsoft DPM collected data to tape for regulatory or traditional archive purposes.

whitepaper Veritas NetBackup From Symantec: Migrating to or Integrating New Tape Drive Technologies in Existing Libraries2008-06-01 Symantec
  An increasing number of new tape drives are able to read data written on previous-generation tape drives and in some cases even write to the media used with those drives, either at the existing density or at a new, higher density. Customers may want to migrate from an older tape drive technology to a newer one, move from one generation of tape drive to another or combine multiple drive technologies in a single library. Administrators want to take advantage of these higher capacity and performance tape drives, but are concerned about migrating to or integrating these drives into an existing or new tape library. This paper will discuss different methods for doing so.
