EGUIDE:
In this expert e-guide, find out how to optimize SQL Server with the right choices for hardware, storage devices, and virtualization. Inside, find articles on: what not to do when purchasing hardware; if solid-state storage devices are worth the cost; hardware and risk considerations for an inevitable virtualization initiative.
EGUIDE:
Should you go all-in on hyper-convergence infrastructure (HCI) or play it more conservatively? This e-guide explores why traditional storage infrastructures are falling short, why the industry is leaning toward HCI, and more.
WHITE PAPER:
This paper demonstrates that RAID 6 is less capable to prevent data loss with today's large capacity SATA and SAS HDDs. It will also share Oracle's designs to mitigate this risk. The integrity of customers' data is in jeopardy if these large capacity SATA/SAS HDDs are simply packaged into a RAID 6 group without additional mitigation.
WHITE PAPER:
As there are many ways of using VMware technology, there are just as many methods available for protecting this innovative technology. System administrators and IT technologists can use this paper to determine one of three recommended solutions for protecting VMs. Each of these technologies has relative advantages and disadvantages.
WHITE PAPER:
Customers are confronting the confusing number of options and configurations when it comes to backing up and restoring their network attached storage servers. This paper addresses this by describing the best practices for protecting and recovering NAS devices utilizing the Network Data Management Protocol.
EGUIDE:
SQL Server performance is highly dependent on how you configure your server's storage subsystems. With that in mind, this e-guide dives into a benefit/cost comparison of the increasingly popular solid-state drive (SSD) trend and explains some of the top mistakes people make when purchasing hardware for SQL Server.
PRESENTATION TRANSCRIPT:
This segment begins with an explanation of how long to store backups to get the maximum benefit of deduplication, and then discusses the appropriate frequency of full backups.
WEBCAST:
In their second comparative challenge, The HP StorageWorks EVA asked three teams of high school students who had never configured a storage array to run timed tests on EVA, NetApp and EMC to see which one is easiest to use. EVA was the clear winner
WHITE PAPER:
This white paper describes a tested and validated storage solution for a 1000 mailbox Exchange Server 2007 environment with Local Continuous Replication (LCR) feature.
EGUIDE:
