whitepaper Using Tape Virtualization to Improve Backup Performance2008-08-01 Taneja Group
  Virtual Tape Library (VTL) technology is arguably the easiest way to introduce disk into a tape-based backup infrastructure. A VTL is a set of disks that emulate tape; one sees a disk array, the backup software sees a tape drive or a tape library. The use of tape virtualization will improve backup performance and reliability while allowing one to preserve investment in the existing tape infrastructure. But choosing the right VTL technology depends upon what particular backup issues are most important in one's environment. This paper considers these issues, and then provides a quick review of Sun Microsystems' tape virtualization solutions, identifying how their offerings can best be leveraged to produce an optimized backup infrastructure.

whitepaper DataCore Software Case Study: Alameda County Medical Center2008-07-29 DataCore Software
  The IT environment at ACMC was fundamentally based upon products from Dell and EMC as well as virtual machines from VMware. ACMC has struggled to maintain a disaster recovery or business continuity plan, and has had to use what was available to them - an existing data center that is thirteen miles away. ACMC had been a longstanding Citrix customer, so for cost savings it was a natural choice to go with XenServers. Alameda County Medical Center selected SANmelody storage virtualization and Citrix XenServer to provide replication and to ensure full disaster recovery. DataCore Software's SANmelody software is serving as the foundation of a replication and Disaster Recovery (DR) plan at Alameda County Medical Center (ACMC).
