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 Bonneville Joint School District Protects Student Data With Revinetix Disk2Disk2Disk Solution2008-06-06 Revinetix
  Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 used a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device to back up files weekly from its more than 50 servers. Archiving was a challenge, as is required a lot of manual intervention and was slow, taking on average an entire weekend to complete. When evaluating options to replace its existing system, price and technical service capability were two key factors for determining the purchase. Through Valcom, a Value Added Reseller (VAR) located in Boise and Salt Lake City, Bonneville was introduced to Revinetix' Disk2Disk2Disk data protection methodology. Bonneville's purchase included Revinetix' Sentio and Volo appliances, fully integrated with its innovative data protection software (RevOS) - all supported by reliable, in-house technical support.
