Symantec ApplicationHA: Intelligent Application Awareness in Virtual Environments
Symantec’s recent product refresh for their ApplicationHA product reinforces their commitment to providing application level awareness and high availability to virtual environments. Symantec ApplicationHA is to virtual environments, what Veritas Cluster Server (part of Storage Foundation HA) was to physical environments – a true multi-platform, multi-application aware clustering and high availability platform. ApplicationHA should open the floodgates for migration of Tier 1 mission critical applications to virtual environments – something that many IT organizations are shy to undertake since the virtual infrastructure lacks application awareness that is available in physical environments because of OS based clustering solutions. ApplicationHA plugs this critical void – it provides a layer of intelligence to the virtual infrastructure so it can take corrective action as needed if the application state changes, thus creating an additional layer of application high availability on top of the existing virtual machine availability.
This Taneja Group Opinion covers Symantec’s Application HA – providing application level awareness and high availability to virtualized infrastructure.
AutoVirt: NAS Management Redefined
Taneja Group Solution Profile covering AutoVirt’s NAS solution. AutoVirt’s out-of-band architecture enables customers to reign in NAS sprawl by creating a unified and global namespace, policy based management and non-disruptive data mobility (and migrations).
Email Archiving for SMBs
Archiving of corporate email has become a requirement in most businesses today because of tightening governance controls, demands for capacity optimization and growing pressures to reduce costs. But email archiving isn't just for large corporations: Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with small IT departments can deploy email archiving solutions after doing some research. Vendors of email archiving solutions have products that appeal to SMBs, but organizations should perform a cost-benefit analysis of the solutions that cater to businesses of their size and industry.
DataDirect Networks (DDN): Incredibly Well Positioned
From computing perspective this decade is looking very different than the previous one. Data centers are in the midst of metamorphosis in almost every dimension. Physical servers running single applications are being replaced with fewer larger physical servers running virtual machines. Networks are already being built with unified 10GbE fabrics, with storage and network traffic riding simultaneously on them. Virtualization principles are being applied at all layers of computing and storage technology. Vendors and IT are paying serious attention to power, cooling and space requirements, perhaps for the first time ever. Storage virtualization is finally a well-understood concept and vendors are feverishly implementing fine-grained virtualization in their products (or rapidly buying those that have them).
Symantec FileStore N8300: The NAS For Information
Taneja Group Opinion covering Symantec’s FileStore N8300 scale out NAS solution. Symantec’s Information intelligence enabling play for its NAS solution makes it a new entrant with an interesting but promising proposition.
The Cost of Performance
What’s an IO worth to you? Is it worth more than a gigabyte? Less? That’s a hard question for many IT and business professionals to begin to consider; yet we often see it bandied about. It certainly has merit, it just isn’t easily understood. In this industry article, Taneja Group takes a look at how big the cost of performance is, and with that understanding in mind, we’ll look at two examples of new solutions and what they suggest is a changing way to get cost-effective performance inside the data center walls.
