  • Defining Tier One Storage in the Modern Data Center

    Topic:
    Data Center/Servers, Storage

    This report defines "tier-1" storage in the modern IT world and in the data centers and services that support it. What was a simple environment just a few years ago with mainframes or a few large servers to be supported has evolved into a complex web of virtual machines, clouds, and expanding user expectations -- factors which demand and create flexibility, but do so in a way that pushes a lack of predictability upon the storage infrastructure.

  • IDG Tech Dossier: Converged Storage ~ A Next Gen Storage Strategy for Big Data

    Topic:
    Data Center/Servers, Storage

    Implementing Converged Storage is an evolution and does not require immediate wholesale replacement of current systems. But by putting a plan into place now, enterprises can optimize their current storage investments while building toward a converged future and accruing concomitant benefits along the way. Virtualization and cloud computing can help corporate IT meet these demands by helping it become more flexible and agile. But the ultimate solution is to transform the way IT is delivered. Many enterprises have already started on the journey toward a full IT as a service (ITaaS) model, which HP and Intel aptly call the Instant-On Enterprise.Intel and the Intel logo are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries.
