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.
WikitipTape vendors should push de-dupe standardsTape has always been a story of fragmented formats where the rising tide of standardization raised all ships. Tape is a game of survival where no one wins unless everyone works together. Sun's Jonathan Schwartz, in an effort to protect Sun's $4.1B investment in STK should get on a plane and visit IBM's Bill Zeitler to create a data deduplication standard to be used in integrated tape and disk solutions. |
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. | |||
