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
Case Study: Mining company turns to Data Domain for backupA data center within P&H Mining Equipment (P&H) had a problem recovering from a tape library that was too small. Recovery of files and emails was taking up to 72 hours, and IT was increasingly concerned that it would not be possible to recover from a major disaster. Rather than increase the capacity of the tape library from 500 to 1,000 tapes, P&H choose an innovative solution of a ten terabyte data de-duplication system from Data Domain. Importantly, the installation required no changes to the Tivoli Storage Management (TSM) procedures and virtually no education for storage administrators. |

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. | |||
