Dell EqualLogic PS Series with VMware - Virtual servers meet virtual storage 2008-01-23 Dell EqualLogic

Consolidation of data center assets has become a trend in many IT environments, providing benefits such as improved hardware resource utilization, easier management,and lower costs.

For storage, consolidation is accomplished by moving data off of a direct attached storage (DAS)to inside the server onto a shared pool of storage in a storage area network (SAN).

Read this solution brief to see how server consolidation has become popular thanks to technologies like VMware ESX Server and GSX Server. These "virtual machine" products consolidate server data images onto fewer hardware platforms which improves IT efficiency.

IT PARTNERS Case Study: City of Phoenix 2008-01-23 IT PARTNERS

The City of Phoenix owns and operates the Phoenix Airport System. The existing data center was highly constrained, with power and air conditioning nearing capacity and very limited amounts of available rack space. Connectivity to the rest of the City of Phoenix, as well as to the Internet, was through a non-redundant network infrastructure. The Aviation Department's Technology Division selected Hewlett-Packard (HP) and VMware technologies to help address these challenges. IT Partners engaged with the city's staff to implement Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions within the Aviation Department data center and SAN replication at the City of Phoenix IT Operations Center.

One of Oregon's Largest Counties Deploys Equallogic 2008-01-18 Dell EqualLogic

Clackamas County, Oregon, is home to more than 338,000 people. Heavily timbered, the county's geographical features include Mt. Hood and numerous rivers - the Willamette, Clackamas, Sandy, Pudding, Molalla and Salmon. The Aging Fibre Channel SAN could not scale to meet growing demands. Clackamas County replaced old Fibre Channel SAN with modular PS Series SAN for central storage consolidation and data protection. It attached stray servers to the SAN, eliminating all direct attached storage.
