whitepaper Choosing a Virtual Tape Library2006-12-15 Forrester Research
  As enterprises shift their backup and data protection strategy from tape to disk, IT operations professionals can choose from continuous data protection, rotating point-in-time snapshots, and backup to a disk target solutions. Most enterprises want to introduce disk in order to meet backup windows and improve restore capabilities, but they don't want to rip out and replace their existing backup software and tape systems or manage yet another point data protection o?ering. Instead, enterprises want to optimize their existing environment and the simplest way to do so is to simply introduce a disk target.

whitepaper Fairleigh Dickinson University Centralizes Storage and Backup, Improves Disaster Recovery and Email With HP Hewlett-Packard StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays and ProLiant Blade Servers0000-00-00 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Fairleigh Dickinson University, the largest private university in New Jersey, wanted to improve its backup procedures and disaster recovery processes, but its existing storage infrastructure made that difficult. It was using server-attached storage and tape backups, which were costly and difficult to manage and maintain. In addition, it wanted to improve the performance of its email servers. It turned to HP to solve its problems, and chose Hewlett-Packard StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays; award-winning Hewlett-Packard ProLiant blade servers; and Hewlett Packard MSL6060 tape libraries. As a result, the university now has a scalable, centralized, easy-to-use storage and backup infrastructure capable of full disaster recovery that can easily be scaled to meet the needs of the university well into the future.

whitepaper Disk-Based Data Protection Forecast: 2006 To 20112006-11-17 Forrester Research
  Historically, data was backed up to tape. But with data growing at double-digit rates each year and backup windows shrinking dramatically or altogether, enterprises are increasingly incorporating disk-based data protection into their backup strategies. Initially, adopters of disk-based data protection were tech-savvy enterprises with the greatest need and tolerance for new technology. Today, a majority of enterprises are shifting to disk as the first line of protection thanks to less disruptive offerings, such as virtual tape libaries (VTLs) and advanced technologies like snapshots that are now easier to manage.

whitepaper ARTE: Creating Art With a Fully Tapeless Production System2006-11-01 IBM
  The Franco-German public broadcaster ARTE (Association Relative a la Television Europeenne) broadcasts 12 hours daily of bilingual cultural programming that is broadcast in France, Germany and other European countries. The company wanted to replace manually based, cumbersome processes to create high-quality programming more efficiently and effectively while controlling costs. ARTE leveraged IBM digital media expertise to design and implement a fully networked, virtually tapeless digital production system and broadcasting environment utilizing SGT Media Manager, IBM ADMIRA, IBM System x, IBM 3584 Tape Library, IBM Tivoli SANergy, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) and other components.

whitepaper Oracle Secure Backup and Quantum Provide Maximum Scalability and Performance2006-10-01 Oracle
  In a joint performance benchmarking effort between Quantum, leader in Backup, Recovery and Archive solutions, and Oracle, the paper demonstrates how a complete tape backup solution using Oracle Secure Backup and Quantum i2000 successfully scales as the environment grows. With the Quantum and Oracle Secure Backup solution, the backup infrastructure can be architected to meet backup time requirements (windows) based on the formula of amount of data and available hardware throughput. As backup windows shrink, or the amount of data increases, one can directly increase performance by adding more hardware to meet the requirements.

whitepaper Why Email Fails: Dell MessageOne Survey of Email Outages2008-07-21 Dell MessageOne
  While there is no argument that email is a mission-critical application for businesses today, email continues to fail, and fail frequently. Despite large enterprise investments in replication, mirroring, and tape back up systems, business have a 75% chance of losing email for a significant duration at least once a year. Many experience multiple email failures every year. While it is widely known that natural and man-made disasters can lead to email outages, data in this comprehensive study shows that email systems are more frequently brought down by a variety of technological and IT systems failures.

MessageOne, a leading provider of email continuity solutions, commissioned this research report to understand the frequency, severity, and cause of email outages in North American corporations using Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes. This research shows that enterprise email systems are prone to a variety of potential breakdowns including SAN (Storage Area Network) failures, mis-configuration, losses in network access, database corruption, and viruses. This research report analyzes the leading causes of failure with enterprise email systems and provides preventative guidance to lower the probability of unplanned email outages.
