Why Traditional Methods – Tape, Disk, and Archiving Fall Short.
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.
iSCSI has the potential to change the data storage landscape.
It’s a straightforward discussion of the technology and where it fits.
In this guide we cover such topics as:
- How iSCSI works
- Where does iSCSI fit in the Enterprise
- Can it co-exist with Fibre Channel
- Why iSCSI?
Clearly witten and jargon free, “iSCSI Basics” is appropropriate for both technical and non-technical professionals. It will give you a sound, unbiased introduction to a new and emerging technology.
There are a wide range of companies offering used computer equipment. You need to apply due diligence selecting a source company for used gear.
Research and references are essential – as well as the ability of the company to deliver. If a deal appears to be too good to be true – it just might be –especially in an on-line auction with product offered “as is.”
In the end, the rules for success when buying new or used computer equipment are the same.
- Know your technology requirements to avoid paying for unnecessary upgrades.
- Take time to check out prospective vendors so you select a provider that can be counted on for quality equipment and responsive technical support.

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.

According to a study conducted by Ferris Research in 2008 i Microsoft Exchange Server holds approximately 65 percent market share in email and communications across all organizations. In healthcare organizations with more than 5,000 employees, it enjoys 75 percent penetration; in telecommunications organizations with at least 1,000 employees, it does even better, garnering a 90 percent penetration rate. Small businesses, too, are particularly drawn to Exchange Server: In the Ferris Research survey, nearly all organizations with up to 49 employees currently use Exchange Server 2007.

With such a broad distribution across organizations of different sizes and throughout multiple industries, the effect of core changes on the Exchange Server 2010 architecture is significant when it comes to migration. It is no longer possible to simply replace existing installations and migrate mailboxes from one version to another. Instead, changes to Exchange Server 2010 architecture make it necessary to employ a migration strategy that includes re-evaluation of the supporting network architecture.
