whitepaper HP/Oracle RAC in a Box - Using HP c-Class BladeSystem Servers and Storage Technologies to Simplify Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) Deployments2008-06-01 Hewlett-Packard
  This white paper describes a new solution of HP hardware with Oracle Database SE including RAC which supports up to two nodes in a cluster with a maximum of four sockets in the cluster. This technology can help eliminate a lot of the cost and complexity of implementing a highly available environment, allowing small and medium sized companies to deploy 24 x 7 solutions much more cost effectively.

whitepaper HP Storage Essentials Application Integration Software for SAP Adaptive Computing Controller in HP-UX White Paper2008-06-01 Hewlett-Packard
  The Adaptive Computing environment supported by HP Storage Essentials for SAP ACC consists of managed node servers, control stations, and storage disk array(s). Managed nodes are HP-UX servers that can host SAP central instances and database instances. Oracle 10g is used for database instances. The binaries for the SAP central instances are stored on an NFS server. The control stations consist of at least four servers - HP SE, HP SE Provider, SAP Solution Manager, SAP ACC, and DNS server (could be combined with SAP Solution Manager). The servers used for the managed nodes and control stations could either be HP BladeSystem or HP Integrity server.

whitepaper Design Tradeoffs for SSD Performance2008-06-01 Microsoft
  Solid-State Disks (SSDs) have the potential to revolutionize the storage system landscape. However, there is little published work about their internal organization or the design choices that SSD manufacturers face in pursuit of optimal performance. This paper presents taxonomy of such design choices and analyzes the likely performance of various configurations using a trace-driven simulator and workload traces extracted from real systems. The paper finds that SSD performance and lifetime is highly workload-sensitive, and that complex systems problems that normally appear higher in the storage stack, or even in distributed systems, are relevant to device firmware.   
whitepaper Making Use of Virtual Tape in a D2D2T Environment2008-05-28 Clipper Group
  A Virtual Tape Library enables a centralized, shared backup and recovery facility for the midsized data center. Combined with tape, in an integrated D2D2T environment, a VTL also becomes an integral component in an archival architecture. By connecting a VTL to a SAN, a single VTL appliance can serve as a backup/archival target for multiple heterogeneous servers throughout the data center or across a campus. One has a significant amount of scalability to work with, as he or she can configure VTL with as few as 4 entry-level SATA drives, or as many as 16 high-capacity 1TB drives. The data center has the ability to add new drives to the configuration as they are needed, or upgrade existing drives, as higher capacity models become available.

whitepaper QoS Scheduling for Networked Storage System2008-05-27 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Networked storage incorporates networking technology and storage technology, greatly extending the reach of the storage subsystem. This paper presents a novel Quality of Service (QoS) scheduling scheme to satisfy the requirements of different QoS requests for access to the networked storage system. The key ideas include breaking down the requests into appropriate chunks of smaller sizes and taking the network characteristics into consideration such that each session channel has smoother data access, resource requirements such as buffer usage are reduced, and more urgent requests can preempt a less urgent request.

whitepaper The New Foundation of Storage: Xiotech's Intelligent Storage Element2008-05-01 Xiotech
  For the last several decades the underlying elements of data storage--disk drives, drive enclosures, and controllers--have remained more or less the same, and have been unable to keep pace with dramatically changing business requirements. Xiotech offers a fresh approach with its Intelligent Storage Element (ISE): A storage foundation that sets new standards for reliability, performance, and scalability. Read this paper to learn more about ISE and how it can help you.
