(Source: Network Appliance)  This paper takes a look at using data virtualization to provide end-to-end data reduction efficiencies. It features three user case studies on how users were able to have a significant impact on bottom-line expenses through data virtualization, as they relate to the storage acquisition and ongoing data storage management costs.

(Source: Network Appliance)  Microsoft Exchange Server has evolved into a critical application for many companies. Legacy storage infrastructures based on traditional direct-attached storage (DAS) are insufficient for meeting service level requirements associated with data availability, recoverability, manageability, and scalability.  Leveraging an iSCSI-based storage network, Snapshot&trade; technology-based recovery mechanisms, and storage virtualization technologies provides an appropriate infrastructure for meeting the increasingly demanding requirements of Exchange - at a cost structure appropriate for Microsoft Windows&reg; environments.

In the past few years, iSCSI storage has emerged as a viable contender to more established storage networking technologies such as Fibre Channel. In this webcast, Computerworld's Senior Online Projects Editor Ian Lamont looks at how iSCSI works, why this block-level storage technology is becoming so popular in storage-area networks and network-attached storage, and issues IT professionals should consider when evaluating iSCSI for their storage needs.

(Source: 3PAR) Here's an information-packed white paper from TheInfoPro (TIP) that delivers findings from one-on-one interviews with Fortune 1000 storage professionals. The paper explains how the deployment of tiered storage has driven the need for data migration in Fortune 1000 companies, and why those enterprises are now looking for more mature storage solutions that minimize complexity while harnessing the full value of tiered storage. It's must-read research for IT strategists who are looking to meet their business drivers for low-cost storage and high availability.

(Source: Computerworld)  When it comes to storage systems, small and medium-sized businesses have had their share of challenges. Even when some storage vendors have tried to address the unique needs of the SMBs, it has been with underpowered versions of their enterprise-class products. The advent of unified network storage, exemplified by the DellTM PowerVaultTM NX1950, has dramatically altered the SMB landscape by combining iSCSI and NAS capabilities in a single, highly functional package that delivers simplified management and enhanced scalability at a cost-efficient price point.
