A Holistic Approach to Managing Data Protection Environments
Data protection solutions often get a bad rap under the premise that they are too cumbersome to manage. In fact, data protection solutions such as EMC NetWorker, Data Domain, Avamar etc. do an excellent job at doing what they have been designed to do – protect data. Furthermore, vendors have gone to great lengths to make such solutions simple to deploy and manage. So why is there this paradox?
This is a Taneja Group Solution Profile of the EMC Data Protection Advisor solution.
Virtual Bridges: The Second Generation of VDI is Now
Too many desktop virtualization projects have gotten off to a rocky start. Early efforts to deploy server-hosted desktop virtualization (or VDI, for “virtual desktop infrastructure”) have often stalled under the weight of massive upfront costs and returns that never seem to materialize. Existing VDI offerings have evolved from an existing array of terminal services and hypervisor technologies, and typically require heavy lifting to integrate, customize, and optimize for a particular set of customer requirements.
A new class of solutions is now emerging that herald the second generation for VDI: comprehensive, purpose-built and turnkey offerings that combine virtualization with powerful access, security, management, and storage optimization technologies. In this profile we explore the drivers for and essential elements of second-generation VDI, and take a close look at Virtual Bridges’ VERDE solution.
IBM ProtecTIER: Peak Protection For Oracle Database Backups
Solutions such as IBM’s ProtecTIER make database backups far more efficient by providing high speed backup and recovery performance while reducing the amount of data landing on tape. This Solution Profile describes the benefits of using ProtecTIER deduplication solutions in an Oracle data protection environment: high ratios of deduplication and compression for Oracle records, integration with RMAN, and some of the fastest recovery times in the deduplication industry.
Maximizing Desktop Virtualization Success with VDI-optimized Dell EqualLogic Hybrid Arrays
VDI has often promised more than it delivered, due to stubborn complexity, performance and cost challenges. Chief among these challenges has been the high up-front capital costs and subsequent inefficiencies of the storage platforms deployed to support it. Building on deep integration with VMware’s vSphere 4.1 platform via the vStorage APIs, Dell has set its sights squarely on VDI and aims to break down both the cost of acquisition and TCO (CapEx and OpEx) barriers that have plagued VDI ROI in the past. Dell has added intelligent workload tiering and new hybrid SSD/SAS arrays to its Equal-Logic PS Series family and we analyze a recent performance benchmark to evaluate in detail how Dell’s innovations reduce complexity, improve performance and lower the cost of VDI.
Company Profile: AccessData
Since its founding, AccessData has been a worldwide leader in computer forensics. The company developed its core technology to support cyber-security and eDiscovery markets, and has now has added industry-standard review capabilities to its eDiscovery line. The end result is an integrated architecture that enables AccessData to offer single-vendor efficiencies across the highest levels of digital forensics, cyber-security and litigation support.
The Kaminario K2: Transforming the Costs and Capabilities of Storage Performance
In this product profile, we’ll take a look at what we think is required to deliver a true enterprise-class storage foundation for improving application performance, and one vendor's distinctly different approach to delivering a high performance storage solution. That solution - the Kaminario K2 – delivers a compelling approach for those enterprises in need of faster storage for greater application performance.
