whitepaper IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 Series Grid Failover Scenarios Version 1.12008-04-01 IBM
  The IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 Series is the latest in the line of tape virtualization products that has revolutionized the way mainframe customers utilize their tape resources. The capability to resume business operations in the event of a product or site failure is provided by the TS7700 Grid configuration. In a Grid configuration, two TS7700 Clusters are interconnected and can replicate data created on either TS7700 Cluster to the other. As part of a total systems design, business continuity procedures must be developed to instruct I/T personnel in the actions that need to be taken in the event of a failure. This paper documents a series of TS7700 Grid failover test scenarios for zOS which were run in an IBM laboratory environment.

whitepaper The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i V32008-04-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  HP-UX 11i v3 introduces a new representation of mass storage devices called the agile view. The central idea of the agile view is that disk devices and tape drives are identified the actual object, not by a hardware path to the object. Paths to a device can change dynamically, and multiple paths to a single device can be transparently treated as a single virtualized path, with I/O distributed across those multiple paths. This representation increases the reliability, adaptability, performance, and scalability of the mass storage stack, all without the need for operator intervention. This paper discusses the next generation mass storage subsystem in HP-UX 11i v3.

whitepaper College Chooses Hosted E-Mail From a Trusted Partner so Students Can Work Smarter2008-04-01 Microsoft
  Lees-McRae College in North Carolina had a student e-mail solution that took too much time and money to manage. Students kept losing e-mail because of limited storage. Lees-McRae replaced it with Microsoft Live@edu to provide Web-based communication and collaboration services and more storage. Now students rarely lose information and they can organize their communications, share calendars, and schedule meetings with professors to improve time and study management.

whitepaper Storage Media Encryption Key Management for Release 3.2(3)2008-04-01 Cisco Systems
  The Cisco Storage Media Encryption (SME) solution enables hardware compression and encryption on the network before data is written to a tape device. With the introduction of the Cisco MDS 9222i Multiservice Modular Switch and of the Cisco MDS 9000 18/4-Port Multiservice Module line card providing encryption services, the Cisco SME solution provides a distributed, highly scalable, and secure network based on the Cisco MDS 9000 family of switches and directors. It offers centralized administration and key management, simplifying the deployment and management of the solution. This paper introduces the Cisco SME key management architecture and options.

whitepaper HP Disaster Tolerant Solutions Using Continuous Access for HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array in a VMware Infrastructure 3 Environment2008-04-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This paper describes two deployment types of a VMware tolerant solution, based on coupling key VMware features with disaster tolerance functionality of HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA. The first solution is most suitable for a campus-wide disaster tolerant implementation and the other is suitable for metropolitan/geographically separated areas. Both deployments provide the business continuity needed to support the desired VMware service levels. The tradeoffs associated with each solution are also explored along with configuration caveats and best practices.
