ESSENTIAL GUIDE:
Access this Storage Magazine Essential Guide to making storage and virtual servers work better together to get a grip on your virtual environment storage management. Access expert articles addressing storage and storage management for virtual servers, troubleshooting Hyper-V storage problems, choosing between Fibre Channel, iSCSI and NAS and more.
EGUIDE:
Check out this E-Guide to learn the most common networks, how many are using 10 GbE, 8 Gbps and more. Also learn about Dell’s recent EqualLogic upgrade and how it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper for iSCSI SAN.
WHITE PAPER:
To supplement the growth in iSCSI SANs, Dell has introduced an iSCSI-to-SAS bridge card for the TL-series of tape libraries. This allows a customer to directly attach a tape backup target to their iSCSI 1Gb Ethernet SAN with little to no degradation in transfer speed. This white paper explores
this setup and configuration.
EZINE:
Storage networks are an essential element of server virtualization, but there are several options available today. Is it better to invest in a separate SAN or move storage over Ethernet using iSCSI or FCoE technology? This article considers the tradeoffs of each approach and presents important considerations for both.
PRODUCT LITERATURE:
This document describes configuration steps to deploy solutions with VMware ESX/ESXi 3.5 on Dell™ PowerVault™ MD3000i, NX1950, MD3000, and MD1000. VMware ESX/ESXi 3.5 will be referred to as ESX for the remainder of the document. If any provision is related specifically to only ESX 3.5 or ESXi 3.5, it will be explicitly stated.
WHITE PAPER:
The focus of this article is to discuss what application developers need to know to enable their IP, SCSI, iSCSI, sockets or file system based applications to operate over InfiniBand.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
The combined strength of Dell and VMware® can deliver significant benefits for small, medium, and large organisations across all industries and sectors. Read this paper to learn about the benefits of integrating the Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series family together with VMware® vStorage APIs.
WHITE PAPER:
Read this white paper to learn about how Internet SCSI (iSCSI) offers a scalable, simplified, and cost-effective way to implement storage area networks (SANs) using Ethernet components.
EGUIDE:
Fibre Channel remains the technology of choice for most virtual server environments even as iSCSI storage-area networks (SANs) gain traction. Read this SearchStorage.com Special Report to learn how some storage professionals are evaluating 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) iSCSI SANs as they expand their virtual server environments.
WHITE PAPER:
If you’re an administrator who’s planning to build a high performance, highly available IP network using HP SAN/iQ Software, you should read this document in its entirety. You’ll find important configuration guidelines, best practices, and frequently asked questions that will help you to accelerate a successful deployment.
