(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.

Rackable Systems has added to its line of NAS solutions with its new S3116-NAS server appliance. The new NAS server is designed for datacenters looking for a high-performance SATA system at an affordable price, according to Geoffrey Noer, senior director of storage products at Rackable Systems. âCompanies using expensive Fibre Channel-based storage can migrate older projects to a lower-cost Rackable Systems NAS,â Noer said. Other uses include disk-based backup, small and medium business workgroups, and applications such as seismic processing and video rendering, he said.

(Source: Hewlett Packard) A typically complex, distributed, and heterogeneous IT environment is very difficult and expensive to manage, and a number of disadvantages to this model have become apparent. These include escalating operational costs, inflexible infrastructure, and erratic data security and integrity. Consequently, Butler Group believes that the proliferation of system silos found within the majority of enterprises today is not sustainable in the long term. Read this white paper to learn the significant benefits to data center consolidation and the adoption of a corresponding centralized management approach.
