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.

A Network Computing Webinar:
SDN First Steps

Thursday, August 8, 2013
11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET

This webinar will help attendees understand the overall concept of SDN and its benefits, describe the different conceptual approaches to SDN, and examine the various technologies, both proprietary and open source, that are emerging. It will also help users decide whether SDN makes sense in their environment, and outline the first steps IT can take for testing SDN technologies.

As flash-based caching systems add write-back capabilities, be aware that performance gains can hit a wall.

Windows Server 2012 R2 Beefs Up Storage Spaces

July 30, 2013 02:25 PM

Microsoft improves on the storage functionality in its upcoming Windows Server release with new SSD-supported automated tiering and write-back caching.

Microsoft ReFS and Oracle ZFS: How They Compare

July 25, 2013 11:55 AM

Microsoft's ReFS and Oracle/Sun's ZFS file systems are designed to remedy errors that might otherwise corrupt data. Here's how they stack up against one another.

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.

Dell, HP Erode Startups' Advantages in Flash Storage

June 13, 2013 05:25 PM

Startups with purpose-built flash arrays had an advantage over incumbent storage vendors that retrofit SSDs into systems designed for spinning disk. That advantage is disappearing.

Of IOPS and RAID: How Raid Affects Application Performance

September 24, 2012 10:58 AM

We conclude our look at storage performance metrics with RAID. Learn how a theoretical RAID controller behaves while reading and writing to some common RAID configurations, and how that affects performance.

Combining SSD Cache and Virtual Storage Appliances

June 06, 2012 12:56 PM

Is it time to consider combining a RAID controller with a virtual storage appliance for shared storage? Our blogger says maybe.

Rethinking The Midrange Array

May 07, 2012 09:08 AM

Rather than a cosmetic makeover, new midrange array architectures are challenging the dominance of the old two-controller models, with scale-out systems, hybrid systems that move RAID to the drive shelves and shared cache systems.

Scale-up, Scale-Out Nexsan Blurs the Line

March 07, 2012 09:00 AM

In the beginning, or at least the 20th century, modular scale-up storage systems dominated the market for midrange storage. More recently, the vendors of scale-out systems for NAS and iSCSI have touted the way their systems add controller horsepower and cache as they add capacity. Nexsan's new NST line of unified storage systems combines attributes of both architectures, hoping to leverage the best of both worlds.
