EZINE:
Storage networks are an essential element of server virtualization, but there are several options available today. Is it better to invest in a separate SAN or move storage over Ethernet using iSCSI or FCoE technology? This article considers the tradeoffs of each approach and presents important considerations for both.
ANALYST REPORT:
This ESG Lab report examines the economic excellence of highly scalable EqualLogic iSCSI storage solutions compared to traditional direct attached storage (DAS), Fibre Channel storage area network (FC SAN), and multi-protocol solutions (defined as systems that provide FC, iSCSI, and NAS connectivity).
WHITE PAPER:
This white paper provides an overview of specific information required for administrating storage on Linux servers connected to the Dell Compellent Storage Center. The information is intended for administrators with at minimum a basic understanding of Linux systems, specifically general tasks around managing disk partitions and file systems.
ANALYST BRIEF:
Even with the addition of a virtual tape library (VTL) solution to the backup environment, performance bottlenecks caused by inefficiencies on the host side of the backup process remain a challenge. This can now be addressed with an add-on to FalconStor VTL that accelerates backups four to eight-fold and reduces impact on production servers.
WHITE PAPER:
This paper demonstrates Dell best practices for implementing iSCSI boot from SAN with Dell EqualLogic storage arrays and the 12th generation (12G) PowerEdge servers running Windows Server 2012.
BROCHURE:
Built on patented peer storage architecture, the Dell EqualLogic PS Series of Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage arrays offer high performance, reliability, intelligent automation, and seamless virtualization of storage to enable simplified enterprise storage deployment and management, and comprehensive data protection.
WHITE PAPER:
This article takes an inside look at the unique design features of the NetApp FAS2240, including: Integration of controllers within NetApp SAS disk shelves; I/O and performance enhancements; New resiliency and availability features.
WHITE PAPER:
This paper shows how enterprises may make the transition to 10GbE for storage using Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series arrays and Dell PowerConnect™ switches.
PRODUCT LITERATURE:
Read this paper to learn how Dell EqualLogic™ PS Series iSCSI SANs can help to reduce the cost and complexity of IT Consolidation and uniquely integrate with VMware® Infrastructure to enable the fully virtualized IT environment.
