EGUIDE:
Although Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 is widely touted as a NAS appliance, it can also function as an iSCSI target. This expert e-guide provides an in-depth overview of this platform, its' new features, and lesser known uses.
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:
To supplement the growth in iSCSI SANs, Dell has introduced an iSCSI-to-SAS bridge card for the TL-series of tape libraries. This allows a customer to directly attach a tape backup target to their iSCSI 1Gb Ethernet SAN with little to no degradation in transfer speed. This white paper explores
this setup and configuration.
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.
WHITE PAPER:
Read this Tolly Test Report and how the HP X5000 G2 Network Storage System powered by Intel® Xeon® processors not only integrates with existing Microsoft, Unix, and Linux applications using CIFS and/or NFS, but also enables high-speed connectivity to a host of virtualization platforms, database applications, backup applications and more.
CASE STUDY:
This one page white paper outlines how a legal services provider deployed a dual-controller storage system designed for disaster recovery hosted applications on VMware that leverages deduplication for optimal storage efficiency and cost savings.
