Built for Virtualization: Combining Dell’s Storage and Server Solutions
In this profile we explore the current state of the virtualized datacenter architecture and the limitations it places on operational efficiency. In particular, we examine the requirement for greater elasticity and flexibility in the storage tier, the need for tighter integration between server and storage virtualization, and the benefits of delivering storage capacity and data protection services directly to the virtualized workload. We conclude with a detailed analysis of Dell’s combined storage and server solutions and their proven ability to dramatically improve operational efficiency in highly virtualized infrastructures.

InMage: Transforming Recovery With Continuous Data Technology (CDT)
We have come a long way over the past five years in fundamentally changing the way data is protected. After having put up with unreliable methods of backup to and recovery from tape we entered the new era of disk based backup. Most mid size companies and up today have augmented their data protection environments with this technology, at least for their most mission critical environments. They are now comfortable with keeping several weeks to several months worth of data on disk (for recovery purposes) and older backups on tape for regulatory or business compliance purposes. RTOs and RPOs have improved considerably as disk-based technologies are more reliable and give more predictable results than tape ever could.

Effective eDiscovery Strategies for Legal and IT
Iron Mountain is one of the premiere vendors for helping organizations establish a company-wide electronic records retention program and for providing the services and solutions to facilitate that program. In turn they deliver the benefits of records retention to critical business processes throughout the enterprise. This kind of proactive work can be a hard sell in the face of reactive demands and current constraints on capital expenditures. But it is far better to manage records and information proactively than in response to compliance breaches or litigation.

Iron Mountain throws down the cloud-based solutions gauntlet
A year later, and the cloud-based storage market has definite shape. One of the frontrunners is the latest race to offer up hosted, extensible cloud storage is Iron Mountain. With access over the cloud in mind, Virtual File Store is Iron Mountain's hosted offering for archival data storage for businesses. Enabled through a local gateway, and wrapped with all of the potential of Iron Mountain's rich information services, Virtual File Store is compelling. But it goes a bit beyond just compelling as Virtual File Store is also built on the Iron Mountain expertise, technology, and know how around information preservation and protection. In a landscape dotted by less than "sure thing" vendors, that makes a big difference. One place customers are seeing it? They can archive to the Iron Mountain cloud with confidence - and that makes a big difference in how an organization backs up and protects the data it is archiving.

Successful eDiscovery Starts with a Strong Foundation
Doing eDiscovery right from the beginning is hard to do. There are several factors contributing to the challenge including a lack of communication between IT and Legal, budget concerns, difficulty issuing large-scale legal holds, and the overwhelming task of searching through massive ESI for relevant data. Fortunately for the corporate eDiscovery process, there are ways to overcome these challenges.
