While simple in concept, VMware is complex. It contains components that make virtualization possible and quite manageable in limited configurations. However when you begin to expand into multiple ESX servers and multiple virtual machines competing for resources – effective management becomes an issue.

That‘s why initial capacity planning and on-going performance monitoring are essential to virtualization success.

In “VMware Basics – Capacity Planning and Performance Monitoring,” we give you an overview of VMware’s underlying structural complexity and discusses ways to effectively plan for and manage your virtual resources.

What they they don’t tell you about VMware backup

Virtualization gives companies new ways to deploy and manage application architectures.VMware lets you take management and virtualization to the next level with their latest release of VMware Infrastructure 3.

While most people initially look at VMware from a server consolidation perspective you soon discover that virtualization can alter the way you view your entire infrastructure – from network to applications to storage and disaster recovery.

The focus of this paper is what impact virtualization has on backup and recovery.

That’s the case with “Extending D2D to Offsite DR: The ROI Case for Wan Vaulting.”

Written by Barb Goldworm of Focus Consulting for Data Domain, it uses case studies to show the benefits of deduplication and D2D backup and how it can be extended to deliver cost effective offsite data protection and DR.

This is a well thought out and well written effort. It shows how to build a case for WAN vaulting using direct and indirect savings, TCO, ROI and payback periods. However, this is not a detailed math and formula guide – it uses real world examples with appropriate tables and graphs.

“Extending D2D…” offers substance and readability.

Now there’s more data to backup and less time to do it.

In “The New Backup Model: Disk Alternatives Explored,” free whitepaper you’ll get an overview of the five disk alternatives:

  • Continuous data protection
  • Disk to disk to tape
  • Back-end compression
  • Filer-based data protection
  • Disk-based data protection

We cover strengths, weaknesses, and architectural fit of each alternative. This is a good objective overview of where backup is headed.

Not anymore.

This paper first examines the state of the industry relative to Disk-to-Disk (D2D) adoption. It explores the issues

  • tape backup
  • cost aspects of new, less expensive disk with capacity optimization
  • tangible and intangible benefits of moving to D2D

The second half of the paper discusses financial analysis such as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Return on Investment (ROI) and payback periods and how they can build a strong business case for D2D and Capacity Optimized Storage (COS). We present three case studies of actual users who are moving from tape to D2D in varying degrees (from disk backup as nearline storage with no changes in tape backup procedures, to a complete elimination of tape).

Email has become the dominant way for employees and organizations to exchange business critical information. As the volume of emails continues to increase daily, it becomes challenging to establish an effective control. Many companies struggle to access and retain email based corporate records to meet regulatory requirements, practices and internal mandates.

In the Case Study, you will get a clear overview of Virtua Health’s situation before and after implementing Near Point, a proven Email Management solution.

E-mail has grown from nice utility to business critical application. Legal and regulatory requirements are forcing companies to retain and manage a large and growing volume of e-mail for longer periods. The cost — in both dollars and resources — is rising dramatically.

In “Exchange Data Management: Why Tape, Disk, and Archiving Fall Short” we examine why these traditional approaches are failing. And we propose alternatives.
