In this April 2014 issue of Storage magazine, our experts cover topics, including tips for evaluating solid-state storage requirements, the possibility of 100% cloud storage, insights into how your peers are using file sync-and-share services and more!
WHITE PAPER:
Rising energy costs and growing volumes of information mean is a sign to increase the efficiency of storage systems and reduce power consumption. Employing capabilities such as disk drive spin-down, virtual provisioning, and tiered storage design in Dell/EMC CX4 Series storage arrays helps IT organizations keep energy costs under control.
WHITE PAPER:
Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage systems are not delivering the price-performance and agility at the storage layer required to keep up with the new virtualized compute layer. This paper explores a third storage networking technology, Ethernet SAN, and why you don’t have to choose between iSCSI and Fibre Channel.
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.
WHITE PAPER:
This ESG lab review explores the results from hands-on testing of an emerging SAN solution designed to meet today's growing storage challenges. In this paper, learn how this integrated technology can deliver an unprecedented price-performance ratio while maintaining easy installation and simplified management.
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
