HP Storage Essentials Storage Resource Management Software Suite Version 6.0 Host Cluster Functionality White Paper | 2008-01-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| Given the complexity of customer environments that Storage Essentials Storage Resource Management (SRM) software manages, version 6.0 supports automatic discovery of popular cluster servers and allows management of other non-automatically discoverable clusters through an add-on application within Storage Essentials SRM Enterprise Edition called "Cluster Manager". It is through the combination of automatic and manual recognition that the SRM software is able to cover most of the HA and load balancing clusters that are heavily used in the market today. This white paper discusses how various modules of the Storage Essentials SRM Suite have been enhanced to support clusters from the ground up.

EMC Disk Library DL4106, DL4206, and DL4406 Version 3.1: Best Practices Planning | 2008-01-01 | EMC |
| Today's increasing requirements for application availability combined with growth of data volumes dictates a paradigm shift for solutions. IT environments are faced with the combination of this data growth and shrinking backup windows to get their backups completed. Restore Time Objectives (RTOs) and Restore Point Objectives (RPOs) are also becoming more stringent, increasing the importance of a highly reliable, high-performance backup environment. Adding more tape resources, infrastructure, and cost to the issue may offer incremental gains. Disk-based backup solutions that leverage current environments are the solutions for backup issues.

Energy Characterization of the Stargate Sensor Network Gateway | 2008-01-01 | University of California |
| This paper presents a new energy estimation model for sensor network intermediate nodes (i.e. the Crossbow XScale Stargate). Such devices are battery powered and resource constrained and commonly employed as communication, processing, and gateway elements within sensor networks. Understanding and accurately characterizing the energy behavior of such devices is the key to conserving the battery life of sensor systems. This paper presents a macro-model for estimating the energy consumption of the device as a whole that couples estimation techniques for computation and communication.
