Modular Data Centers Best Suited For SMBs
March 05, 2012 09:00 AM
The typical data center was designed for finicky mainframes, but in the age of robust virtualized servers--not to mention economic considerations--many organizations are opting to tweak the data centers they have, according to the InformationWeek Analytics State of the Data Center Survey. Many are considering new data center designs rather than dealing with the cost and difficulty of retrofitting an outdated facility, but while modular data centers are growing in popularity, and available from enterprise heavyweights like Cisco, HP, IBM and Oracle, they appear to be better suited for SMBs.Microsoft, Citrix And KVM Continue To Erode VMware's Virtualization Domination

February 27, 2012 01:00 PM
Enterprise storage infrastructure still contains quite a bit of direct-attached storage (DAS), but SMEs are in the process of making the move to consolidated storage, a shift that has already taken place at the Fortune 500 level. Even as storage consolidation catches on in the enterprise, though, there is a trend towards building scale-out storage architectures.Asigra Updates Cloud Backup, Extends NetApp Partnership

February 17, 2012 09:00 AM
Cloud computing is evolving to the point where unique clouds will be developed for specific industry verticals, such as healthcare, government and financial services, predicts a Cisco Systems executive speaking at the CloudConnect 2012 conference this week in Silicon Valley. This runs contrary to what some have called the Coke versus Pepsi rule--that companies would not want to be in multitenant cloud environments with their competitors.Nimbula Enhances, Adds Features In Cloud OS

The company also said it is now a member of VMware's Technology Alliance Program. Other enhancements in this version include the ability for third parties to write software for the Nimbula Director platform, as well as the ability to manage and monitor applications, provide Dynamic Name Service and virtual private network services, and add features intended to make the software more enterprise-ready by improving its scalability.EMC VFCache: Project Lightning Strikes
February 13, 2012 09:00 AM
EMC's recent announcement of the culmination of the code-named Project Lightning resulted in the new VFCache solution, a server-based flash cache, which may be used as a complement or alternative to flash storage that appears as if it were a disk drive. This lightning strikes twice, though not in the same spot. The first is dramatically improved I/O performance for customers and the second is the challenge that VFCache brings to competitors trying to distinguish their own flash storage solutions.Easing Some Of Virtual Security's Complexities
February 06, 2012 01:00 PM
Virtualization and cloud computing pretty much dominate the IT world, but security and compliance with IT standards are neither trivial concerns nor going away any time soon. But in some ways, security is easier to accomplish in virtual systems than in physical ones.« Previous Page | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | Next Page »
