whitepaper Simplifying Enterprise File Management2008-09-10 Brocade Communications Systems
  With valuable corporate data increasingly distributed throughout enterprises, today's IT organizations face many barriers to efficient, cost-effective file management. However, these organizations can significantly simplify file management—including consolidation and migration—by deploying innovative file services solutions as part of a reliable File Area Network (FAN). This paper describes the key data management challenges in distributed environments as well as the business advantages of utilizing strategic file services solutions.

whitepaper IBM Scale Out File Services: Reinventing Network-Attached Storage2008-07-01 IBM
  This paper focuses on the challenges of creating a scalable Network-Attached Storage (NAS) filer with hundreds of nodes on top of the IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS). The filer is created as a multiheaded data exporter over Ethernet and uses the Common Internet File System (CIFS) as implemented by the Samba open-source project and a Network File System (NFS) protocol server. Special focus is given to ensure the consistency of data in an efficient manner for applications that have complex access patterns from a large number of nodes. Also considered are the challenges of providing an extremely high-performance facility for exporting data in parallel and the demands of storing very large amounts of data.

whitepaper HP StorageWorks Scalable NAS and HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software With CommVault Data Archiver for Tiered Storage2008-07-01 Hewlett-Packard
  Tiered storage management allows users to perform host-based, file-level data migration to tiered storage using a variety of network protocols for file movement. Every Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) product on the market has different levels of dependencies on backup software, file systems and network protocols to facilitate this migration of data between tiers of storage. Satisfying these requirements using HP and CommVault software can significantly reduce cost and complexity to the HSM product installation. Key areas to consider when evaluating HSM products are the types of external media and how the product controls file migrations and recalls.

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.

whitepaper Massively Scalable NAS: Pre-Empting Tomorrow's Data Overload With Today's Technology2008-05-01 Enterprise Management Associates
  NAS has always been simple...unless IT managers wanted to grow their NAS storage significantly. Then the simplicity evaporated. Now, with massive storage build-outs a necessity, a simply managed, highly scalable NAS environment is a must. For the first time, storage administrators are thinking in terms of managing petabytes of data. Fortunately, new technologies make such systems available even to IT shops with limited budgets. Now smaller firms as well as large enterprises can scale their storage to meet demands, and can align their storage investment to accommodate a need for more storage, for faster storage, or both.

whitepaper Best Practices for Clustered NAS File Serving Using ProLiant Storage Servers and the EVA41002008-05-01 Hewlett-Packard
  Regardless of size, companies require file-serving solutions that are both manageable and highly available. HP ProLiant storage servers combined with HP StorageWorks 4100 Enterprise Virtual Arrays (EVA4100s) offer a single, centralized platform to manage and protect data and provide high availability using cluster and snapshot technology. The HP Customer Focused Testing (CFT) group tested three storage and cluster configurations to determine the best practices for configuring, managing, and enhancing the performance of Network-Attached Storage (NAS) systems. The goal of this paper is to help system administrators deploy and operate a clustered, 1,500-user, file/print server environment that uses Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service, which is also known as Volume Snapshot Service or VSS.
