whitepaper On-demand Webcast: Improving Backup and Recovery RTO RPO in a SAN2008-10-28 Dell EqualLogic
  Backup and restore practices are at the core of today's best business continuity plans. While backup and restore provides many benefits, it simultaneously presents a variety of challenges. IT departments must continually evaluate these practices to determine:
  • How much data will be lost
  • How long it will take to restore data
  • How much it will cost
SAN copy and replication methodologies, in conjunction with backup and restore, can deliver more efficient operations and dramatically improve overall business continuity. Join us to learn about:

  • Current commonly used backup/restore methodologies
  • SAN copies and replication methodologies
  • Requirements to enable different solution designs
  • Inherent strengths and weaknesses of various solution designs

whitepaper PMMC Runs SQL Server Approximately 40 Percent Faster With Dell EqualLogic iSCSI SAN, Speeds Storage Provisioning for New Clients2008-10-01 Dell
  Preferred Medical Marketing Corporation (PMMC) enables hospitals and large physician groups to remain financially secure by analyzing the economic implications of new reimbursement terms with insurers, monitoring the payment accuracy for services rendered, and recovering underpayments. Awkward management user interfaces and expensive hardware made it difficult for PMMC to provision storage as needed for Microsoft SQL Server databases on its previous Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN), slowing customer service and boosting workload for storage administrators. A 4.8 TB Dell EqualLogic iSCSI SAN accelerated storage provisioning, reduced administration time, and allowed the company to expand capacity while creating a platform for server virtualization.

whitepaper SAN Deployment on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Using Emulex HBAs and CNAs2008-10-01 Emulex
  With the unrelenting escalation of costs for power, cooling and data center footprint, IT managers are under pressure to extract even more performance from their hardware and software. Server virtualization never made more sense. Microsoft's Hyper-V is the next-generation hypervisor technology that provides highly efficient server virtualization fully integrated with Windows Server 2008. In order to fully realize the benefits of Hyper-V, servers much have access to network storage that is fast and flexible. To that end, recent studies have shown that 60% of virtualized servers are connected to a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN), enabling fail-over cluster support and rapid migration of virtual machines.
