Optimizing Storage Performance, Provisioning, and Manageability for Microsoft SQL Server | 2007-08-29 | IBM |
| Microsoft SQL Server has become very popular as a database environment driving a broad range of mid-level business applications, ranging from CRM to eCommerce and from ERP to supply chain integration. The combination of affordability, performance, ease of deployment, and sophisticated analytical features has led to a significant proliferation of SQL Server databases in many organizations. To optimize storage performance for SQL Server, organizations need a consolidated networked storage environment, well-matched to the price and performance characteristics of the database servers, that can meet the demanding service level requirements of the business and that can simplify the management of the distributed SQL Server database environment dramatically. This paper describes the SQL Server benefits that are available from storage consolidation using best-in-class IP SAN (iSCSI) storage.

Serving Queries to Multi-Resolution Datasets on Disk-Based Storage Clusters | 0000-00-00 | Ohio State University |
| This paper is concerned with efficient querying of very large multi-resolution datasets on storage and compute clusters. This paper presents a suite of services that support storage, indexing, and data processing (data sampling and data aggregation) on datasets that consist of a collection of multi-resolution grids. The paper empirically evaluates the performance impact of different data declustering, indexing, and query processing strategies. The experimental evaluation is carried out using a data server implemented to serve multi-terabyte multi-resolution volumetric datasets to remote visualization clients and a one-terabyte multi-resolution volumetric dataset on a PC cluster with distributed disk space.

IBM System Storage N Series With FlexShare | 2007-08-24 | IBM |
| As storage requirements for enterprises continue to grow, storage administrators constantly strive to maximize return on investment (ROI) while scaling the existing infrastructure. Administrators are looking for creative ways to prevent over-provisioning and to maximize the use of the existing resources. FlexShare, a built-in feature of Data ONTAP, allows storage administrators to accomplish these tasks with ease and flexibility. Using FlexShare, storage administrators can host different applications confidently on a single storage system without impacting critical applications, resulting in reduced costs and simplified storage management. This paper provides information about how FlexShare works, discusses FlexShare best practices, and describes high benefit use cases of FlexShare.
