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.

Scale-Out Storage Scales Down For SMBs

July 22, 2013 12:41 PM
Scale-out storage isn't just for big companies anymore. Vendors are making the technology available to SMBs by reducing its cost and complexity.

NASg: A Low-Cost Cure For Storage Sprawl

December 21, 2009 09:03 AM
With last week's release to beta of NASg, a network-attached storage system from Gridstore, small businesses and service providers have a new way to fight storage sprawl that doesn't involve a forklift. The solution creates a scalable storage grid costing about a third of similar solutions available today and is managed through a Microsoft Management Console snap-in. The cost of entry will start at around US$800 for one terabyte and around $300 per terabyte thereafter.

Gridstore Puts Scale-out NAS In Reach Of SMBs

December 17, 2009 08:32 AM
I've always been partial to scale-out storage systems based on the RAIN (Redundant Array of Independent Nodes) model. If data grows faster than predicted, and it always does, I can just add another node or two to the cluster (or grid, cloud, fogbank or whatever the vendor wants to call it), and I never have to fire up the forklift for an upgrade. Now, an Irish startup, Gridstore, is taking the idea downscale by bringing the per-node cost of their SMB NASg to just $400.
