Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management

Thursday, July 25, 2013
10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET

In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

LSI Now Shipping Next-Generation 6Gb/s SAS RAID-on-Chip IC

September 14, 2010 09:32 AM
LSI Corporation today announced it is shipping to OEM customers a new 6Gb/s SAS RAID-on-Chip (ROC) IC that more than doubles the RAID 5 random input/output operations per second (IOPS) compared to the previous-generation product. The LSISAS2208 dual-core SAS ROC is designed to optimize the use of solid-state drives (SSDs) in today's server platforms without having to make trade-offs between performance and reliability. The product also is designed for easy migration to future server platforms based on the forthcoming PCI Express 3.0 specification.

Thoughts On SSDs And RAID

May 17, 2010 08:00 AM
Most storage admins, including this intrepid reporter, are pretty reactionary about their RAID level choices. Out of force-of-habit, we choose RAID-1 or 10 when performance is the primary goal and RAID-5 (or RAID-6 for the more enlightened), when we need space more than speed. I've been thinking that these rules-of-thumb may not apply when you have six or 60 SSDs, as opposed to spinning disks, to manage.

EMC's ix12-300r NAS Beefs Up Capacity

May 04, 2010 02:00 PM
Iomega, purchased by EMC Corp. in July, 2008, is announcing the StorCenter ix12-300r network storage array, a product intended to bridge the gap between the two companies' product lines. The product is aimed at organizations of from 100 to 250 users and it consists of up to 12 drives of 1TB or 2TB each, giving the entire unit a capacity of up to 24TB. Though it is intended for the office environment, it is a rack-mounted 2U unit that goes into a data center. It is particularly suited for production, backup, virtualization, Microsoft Exchange, and video surveillance functions, giving both backup and video surveillance administrators the opportunity to get rid of tape.

SSDs Speed Up Online DBMS Performance

March 19, 2010 10:17 AM
Founded in 1996, IC Source is one of many Internet-based businesses delivering product availability information to electronic components brokers. Daily, more than 3,000 brokers in 40 countries access the company's database in search of needed items. A few years ago, performance problems with the company's storage system arose, a problem that prompted the corporation to become an early user of Solid State Disk (SSD) technology.

If Disk-Drives Weren't Proprietary, Storage Would Still Be Expensive

March 17, 2010 04:00 PM
Every once in a while I'm chagrined when another storage blogger, who should know better, starts complaining about the huge difference between the cost of a 2TB hard drive they buy at Fry's and the cost of a similar amount of storage in an enterprise array. Ladies and gentlemen, while disk drives may account for most of the weight of a disk array, we're past the point where they make up most of the value.
