Unlocking VMware® ESX with a Storage Virtual Appliance
|
ESX users need a flexible, robust and cost effective shared storage solution for their virtual server environment. Shared storage systems are required in order to leverage the real benefits of ESX (such as VMotion and DRS), but are often seen as out of reach, too complicated or expensive for many organizations. This white paper explores how a Storage Virtual Appliance (SVA) unlocks the processor and data storage resources of the ESX server and provides a virtual SAN that enables datastores to be shared in the same way as an external shared storage system. |

The iSCSI Ramp-up --
The ramp-up of storage networks in small and midsize businesses (SMBs) is now underway. Most
businesses have economical Ethernet networks installed and possess the expertise to manage them. iSCSI
storage networks capitalize on commodity Ethernet and TCP/IP technologies to create an affordable storage
networking option for any size business. |

Best Practices for
Storage Consolidation
in Elementary and Secondary Education Environments
Putting your
data to work is the first step in putting data to work for your educational institution is protecting and keeping track of
it, and the best way to do that is by pooling it
with a networked storage set up. This also allows
different departments to share information
and makes data management easier and more
effective by centralizing it. Properly managed,
centralized storage eliminates a lot of redundancy, |

One of the biggest obstacles to implementing networked storage is the transition: specialized hardware is expensive, system design can be complicated and the installation process can be time-consuming at best, and potentially extremely diffi cult. In addition, the process of migrating data from existing systems onto a new storage network can require either days-long interruption of operations, weeks of rolling shutdowns, or months of after-hours work to move data from one system to another. |
