WHITE PAPER:
The focus of this article is to discuss what application developers need to know to enable their IP, SCSI, iSCSI, sockets or file system based applications to operate over InfiniBand.
WHITE PAPER:
The advent of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), Data Center Bridging (DCB), and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)offers enhanced performance and throughput for connecting networked storage to servers. Whether using the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel protocols, organizations have a clear path for unifying a network fabric in 10GbE environments.
EGUIDE:
Today's storage technology offers a range of options for virtualization. To make the best choices, be sure assess your needs and consider your business objectives. Review the critical steps to make of the most of your storage so you can get the performance you expect from your virtual infrastructure.
EBOOK:
With Fibre Channel, iSCSI and even prepackaged storage-plus-SAN solutions available, figuring out which makes sense for your particular environment can be tricky. So, when it comes to virtual server storage, choose wisely. Learn provisioning tactics that can help organizations make the most of their storage.
WHITE PAPER:
Hands-on lab testing of Fibre Channel directors including measurements by an independent electrician. Learn how power savings can leave more watts and amps available per rack and per floor tile for bladed servers and storage.
ESSENTIAL GUIDE:
Access this Storage Magazine Essential Guide to making storage and virtual servers work better together to get a grip on your virtual environment storage management. Access expert articles addressing storage and storage management for virtual servers, troubleshooting Hyper-V storage problems, choosing between Fibre Channel, iSCSI and NAS and more.
ASSESSMENT TOOL:
Which director draws less power, the Brocade 48000 or the Cisco MDS 9513? Calculate environmental characteristics (AC power draw, heat generated), as well as port and bandwidth performance for the directors based on the number of blades present
WHITE PAPER:
Brocade VDX 6720 Data Center Switches are specifically designed to improve network utilization, maximize application availability, increase scalability, and dramatically simplify network architecture in virtualized data centers.
WHITE PAPER:
The performance, availability, and data protection requirements associated with tier-1 applications were easy to meet when one application mapped to one server and a dedicated storage system. But a virtual world with shared infrastructure and unpredictable workloads creates new demands. Discover how NetApp solutions address this challenge.
CASE STUDY:
This white paper delves in to how Sprint-Nextel deployed nine non-disruptive flash storage technologies in order to not only meet customer service satisfaction but exceed all expectations. Find out how this approach improved performance, significantly cut latency, reduced energy consumption, and much more.
