HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway Solution 2008-03-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

Today, most organizations are focused on their business operations and ask the question "Is business well-protected from a disaster?" There needs to be a well-researched response to this question. In addition to the business operation requirements, there are a number of regulatory bodies that have mandatory requirements regarding protecting and retrieving data that organizations need to comply with. Disaster planning and recovery are important subjects that every CIO/CTO needs to seriously examine and execute, as it is imperative that data is protected in any organization. This paper attempts to explain disaster recovery basics and detail several remote replication solutions that are available from Hewlett-Packard using the HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway and HP StorageWorks Continuous Access software.

New Life for Dead Storage Technologies: Consumer-Driven Optical Storage in the Data Center 2007-01-30 14:08:07 PowerFile

Download this white paper from PowerFile to find out why consumer-driven optical technologies like DVD and its next-generation blue-laser counterparts are leading a "coming rebirth" of optical technology in enterprise data centers. The paper examines:

Why optical storage technology has been a near-failure for the
last 15 years—and why that's about to change

How optical-based systems can uniquely address shifting
market demands

How new storage architectures overcome the key issues that previously hampered widespread adoption of optical storage technologies

Automating PC Data Backup and Recovery - A Guided Tour 2007-01-10 06:51:31 Iron Mountain Digital (LiveVault)

As computing becomes more mobile and user autonomy grows, IT departments face greater challenges in protecting critical data spread across vast numbers of PC hard drives. Implementing a "save-to-server" approach for backing up users' PC desktops and laptops doesn't work. The costs and management burdens associated with this traditional strategy are simply untenable as excess storage capacity is quickly filled and network bandwidth is reduced.

During this self-paced automated demo, you'll learn how Iron Mountain Digital's Connected® Backup/PC automatic PC data protection and restoration solution eliminates the risk of PC data loss through automatic PC backup for desktops and laptops.

Available as a service, Connected Backup/PC automatically backs up data, encrypts data for secure transmission, and moves data offsite, reducing the number of servers required for secure data protection. Connected Backup/PC is also available as licensed software.

Improving Storage Utilization by 50 Percent With Symantec Solutions Helps Build Asia's Most Profitable Bank 2006-12-23 01:00:25 Symantec

Faced with increasing competition, China Construction Bank needed to consolidate, unify, and streamline its storage infrastructure. Symantec data management solutions delivered a 50 percent improvement in storage utilization, the ability to avoid 10TB in new storage, and the capability to manage a 50 percent annual increase in data without adding any administrative hours. The bank has 40 percent fewer storage administrators than many similar-sized competitors.

Configuring Single Instance Applications in CFS/CVM Environments in Continentalclusters 2007-01-03 01:58:56 Hewlett-Packard

From version A.06.00, Continentalclusters supports recovering single instance applications and multiinstance applications over Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) 4.1 and Veritas Cluster File System (CFS) 4.1 from Symantec HP Serviceguard Cluster File System products. CVM or CFS 4.1 provides a cluster shared infrastructure for application and database files. This whitepaper focuses on the configuration procedures for single instance applications using CVM or CFS 4.1 in a Continentalclusters environment. To illustrate the recovery of single instance applications, 10g Oracle Single Instance database is used as an example.
