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.

The State of Data Storage Management: 2011 vs. 2012

July 27, 2012 12:13 PM

In 2011, data storage management was all about centralization and consolidation. Now, the tide has turned to data reliability, security and performance. Learn why.

IBM Pulse 2012: A New Storage Hypervisor

March 15, 2012 09:00 AM

IBM is promulgating a storage management concept that it calls a “storage hypervisor” though the final product name has not been determined. The company claims the technology will offer benefits – such as better storage utilization – leading to better storage cost economics, and data mobility – leading to increased flexibility, such as non-disruptive storage refreshes – and parallels the acceptance of server hypervisors and virtualization. But there are also broad implications about how storage will be deployed and managed under IBM’s hypervisor solutions and strategy that you may find worthy of attention. Let’s see why.

Symantec Claims 30 Times Faster Server Failover For Windows Applications

November 15, 2011 09:05 AM

Symantec is introducing a new version of its storage management suite for Microsoft Windows environments that, among other things, reduces server failover times from an average of 30 minutes to as little as 1 minute. Veritas Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) 6.0 for Windows manages both physical and virtual servers running Microsoft’s Hyper-V hypervisor. Failover time is improved by detecting server failure more quickly using asynchronous monitoring and notification instead of the traditional polling-based monitoring.

EMC Gives Storage Management A Cloud Facelift

July 14, 2011 08:00 AM

Storage leader EMC has created a new solution with a federated architecture that delivers an end-to-end view of all storage assets, single-pane management, and host-through-storage performance monitoring and analysis. ProSphere features agent-less discovery, Smart Groups policy management, and tight integration with the latest EMC and VMware storage and virtualization technologies.

Nexsan Launches High-Density Storage Systems

May 18, 2011 09:35 AM

In a series of announcements earlier this month, Nexsan released new storage systems intended to make the company's products more attractive to the mid-market by providing higher capacity in the same amount of space, as well as by reducing the amount of energy they use.

Storage Capacity Still Drives Accessibility

February 25, 2011 01:20 PM

Over its 20 year history, innovation in the field of enterprise storage has seemed to focus on two often conflicting goals: ever-expanding capacity and the need to access all of that storage. Nearly every development seems to come down to one of these two areas. In this time of cloud storage and big data, it is illuminating to consider the challenges in light of capacity and accessibility.

Aptare Enhances Storage Resource Management Offering

February 03, 2011 01:00 PM

The only pure-play storage resource management (SRM) vendor in the visionary category of Gartner's "Magic Quadrant for Storage Resource Management and SAN Management Software," Aptare is looking to further separate itself with significant enhancements (Feature Pack One) to its unified storage management product suite, StorageConsole.

EMC Takes The Offensive In The Storage Wars

January 25, 2011 10:08 AM

With its January blizzard of announcements, EMC has launched an across-the-board offensive. By doing so, the company is broadening its horizons as a wide spectrum information infrastructure company. That does not mean it has neglected its storage roots--far from it. Announcements at both the enterprise-class and midrange storage system levels have opened new fronts for EMC to contend against competitors.

Is NFS A Viable Protocol For Converged Networking?

January 20, 2011 02:11 PM

Last week's "Ethernet Has a Goldilocks Problem" post generated some thought-provoking responses, but one really caught my attention: If we are to suggest that iSCSI is a viable alternative storage protocol for converged networking, where does that leave NFS? After all, storage vendors are increasingly pushing NFS as an alternative to iSCSI for the storage of virtual machine environments. If it's good enough for VMware ESX, doesn't it deserve a place at the adult table when discussing converged networking?

CommVault Releases Results Of IT Storage Spending Survey

January 12, 2011 08:00 AM

The economy is improving, and backup and recovery is the function that is both the most and least costly, compared to expectations, according to a recent straw poll that Commvault Systems performed with its customers to determine how they saw their budgets and resource allocation shaping up for 2011. Other major priorities determined by the non-scientific survey included managing the growth of data and spending on networks and equipment, particularly in the context of consolidating data protection. While the economy itself may have stalled, the growth of data has not, and IT organizations are expected to do more with the same or fewer resources.
