Six Wikibon experts break down EMC's recent analyst event
Grant, a Sr. Storage Admin at a large bank discusses how heterogeneous storage virtualization can help reduce the budget for 2009.
WikitipTiered storage: Think outside the boxThe DMX is an outstanding platform for tier one and some tier two applications, and users expect to pay higher prices for higher controller performance and functionality. However, users will usually achieve lower storage and environmental costs for separate tier two and tier three storage pools. EMC is well positioned to provide such solutions from its broad range of storage offerings and unless users have sound business reasons to tier within the DMX they should consider alernative platforms both within and outside of EMC's line. |
Featured Case Study
Virtualization Energizes Cal State UniversityJohn Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years. |

Featured How-To Note |
Storage Virtualization Design and DeploymentA main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center. | |||
