IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 Series Grid Failover Scenarios Version 1.1 2008-04-01 IBM

The IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 Series is the latest in the line of tape virtualization products that has revolutionized the way mainframe customers utilize their tape resources. The capability to resume business operations in the event of a product or site failure is provided by the TS7700 Grid configuration. In a Grid configuration, two TS7700 Clusters are interconnected and can replicate data created on either TS7700 Cluster to the other. As part of a total systems design, business continuity procedures must be developed to instruct I/T personnel in the actions that need to be taken in the event of a failure. This paper documents a series of TS7700 Grid failover test scenarios for zOS which were run in an IBM laboratory environment.

ASM and Multipathing: Generic Best Practices and Information Matrix 2008-03-01 Oracle

In this competitive business climate, well-planned business continuity strategies must include redundancy to ensure server resources are able to access storage devices even in the event of a failure. Disks and controllers can fail, and data paths can become congested resulting in bottlenecks or can fail entirely cutting off access to key information. Storage RAID technologies are great solutions for providing high availability for storage devices (disks), however, they do not address the physical path between the server and storage. If there is only a single path from the server to storage and one component fails, no amount of disk redundancy can keep the data available.

Inside the Equallogic PS Series iSCSI Storage Arrays 2008-02-01 Dell

Storage management is at the center of an increasingly complex IT problem. Applications continually demand more from their storage systems - as performance, capacity, availability, backup, and disaster recovery needs intensify, so do expectations of the servers and storage that support them. As a result, IT professionals need a storage solution that integrates a full complement of high-end management capabilities, includes data protection, and operates intelligently. They need a reliable storage system that expands transparently and provides consistent data availability regardless of the server configuration, OS, or application. The EqualLogic PS Series of Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage arrays offers a fundamental change in the way enterprises think about purchasing and managing storage.

Developed and Maintained a RAID Controller Product Line for a Large Storage Company 2008-01-26 MindTree Consulting

The client is part of a leading company in the field of Network Storage. The client wanted to reduce their engineering overheads and was looking for a suitable offshore partner. With a technology as domain specific as RAID, building a good set of resources was a challenge. MindTree built a dedicated team of storage experts to help define the requirements and features of the product. This team was then scaled quickly using MindTree's internal skill sets. A knowledge building exercise was executed to help bring the team upto speed with the product's technology, the client's processes and tools.

TechNet Webcast: Optical Media in Windows Vista (Level 300) 2008-01-02 Microsoft

This webcast provides an overview of some of the enhancements of using optical media in the Windows Vista operating system. It covers the new user interface for backing up and restoring information in Windows Vista and the use of Universal Disk Format (UDF) to enable users to exchange files between Windows-based computers, Macintosh, and Unix-based computers. It also explores the Image Mastering API (IMAPI). With IMAPI version 2, applications can burn audio, video, data, or disc images to CD or DVD devices.
