Optimization of Storage Virtualization – Part 1

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:29:18 +0000

To download a pdf of the slides for this presentation, see www.nytechsummit.com/courses. Part 1 of a seminar given by Michael Kestigian of Ingram Micro at the 2010 NY Tech Summit. Storage virtualization has been practiced in large scale data centers for nearly 20 years. With advances in storage media, software engineering, and service level delivery models, storage has taken on operational and management functions once found only in software applications. Maximizing any investment in storage means optimizing the use of these platforms to enhance information availability, data movement, and security. This seminar shares best practices in improving the return on storage virtualization investments.

admin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:18:23 +0000

When I was a database administrator, I saw the SAN as a fancy, expensive black box. Well, it is, but in this podcast I give you some insights into that black box, tell you what kinds of things to ask about when moving your databases into that box, and how to refocus your SAN concerns from raid levels towards more basic things like response times.

iSCSI Storage – 2010

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 06:54:19 +0000

This webcast covers the iSCSI technology and industry standard as it stands in 2010. It also explains how you can use iSCSI storage for VMware vSphere, Hyper-V with Live Migration or any other server applications that you configure for High Availability with failover clustering. You will learn that iSCSI SAN can be build with SAN Software and any standard Intel-architecture x86 or x64 servers that you can apply in your IT environment and have a highly available and highly reliable storage infrastructure with advanced features such as Synchronous Mirroring with Automatic Failover, Remote Replication for disaster recovery, CDP/Snapshots and Thin Provisioning. You can also download the accompanying whitepaper “Why iSCSI 2010″ from the whitepaper section of our website.
