1    Achieving compliance with email archiving
Date:  Tuesday 3 July 2007
Driven by government and industry regulatory demands and also good business governance, compliance means different things to organisations in different industries, countries and sectors, but there is a common theme - copying emails to a secure archive.


2    The data centre goes green
Date:  Tuesday 3 July 2007
As information storage becomes an energy hog, efficiency comes to the rescue


3    Why virtual machines need virtual storage
Date:  Tuesday 3 July 2007
Consolidation is a common trend in IT environments, providing benefits such as
increased resource utilisation, simplified management and lower overheads. Storage consolidation is accomplished by moving data off direct attached storage (DAS) and onto a shared pool of storage in a storage area network (SAN). Recently, server consolidation has helped to put virtualisation technologies, such as VMware Infrastructure 3 and Microsoft Virtual Server, on the map. Using such server virtualisation technology, organisations can dramatically lower their hardware footprint by converting physical servers to virtual machines which reside on a physical host. Server utilisation rates in standard physical environments generally run at around 15 percent; but using virtualisation to run multiple virtual servers on each physical machine can drive utilisation up to 70 percent and above.



4    Data storage crimes can cripple your business
Date:  Tuesday 3 July 2007
Many SMB and mid-sized organisations have been left exposed by their data protection solutions –Andrew Wilson, UK Sales and Marketing Director, Hitachi Data Systems, suggests some questions IT managers should be asking their storage vendor and technology partners in order to avoid unnecessary complexity, cost and risk to valuable data.




5    Three ways to ensure trouble-free remote backup: tips for better data protection at remote and branch offices
Date:  Tuesday 3 July 2007
More and more data continues to be accessed, generated, and stored from remote and branch offices of various sized businesses including small business (SMB). Given the increasing number and diversity of threats to information and privacy concerns, data protection needs to be understood and managed. The first step to a data protection management strategy is to understand your applicable threat risks, followed by knowing your options to protect and secure your information. This paper looks at the threats, the options to guard and protect your data, and how to identify solutions to meet your particular business needs.


6    Replication Management - Overview and Perspectives
Date:  Monday 2 July 2007
Business continuity has become a priority in the corporate world. IT managers have made replication—local and/or remote—their technology of choice for efficient and
effective data protection to ensure business continuity. However, with this choice
comes the challenges of ensuring various components and technologies work in
unison to deliver the expected service levels and managing an enterprise replication
infrastructure that can handle the amount of data being replicated today. This paper provides an overview of how Hitachi Data Systems is approaching these critical challenges and how its solutions are uniquely positioned (versus the competition) to actively configure, manage, and monitor heterogeneous storage environments and homogeneous Hitachi storage environments, both of which can be virtualized by Hitachi Universal Volume Manager software.



7    EMC helps Hammersmith Hospitals improve information management
Date:  Monday 2 July 2007
Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust needed to improve information access and availability to users, and make its picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) more efficient and compliant with the National Programme for IT NHS Care Records Service.


8    Serial Attached SCSI: meeting the growing needs of enterprise storage
Date:  Monday 2 July 2007
Today's predominant server storage interface standards (SCSI for enterprise environments and ATA for cost-sensitive desktop applications) rely on parallel transmission of data streams for device-level attachment. However, parallel technology's signal skew and crosstalk, signal termination restrictions, cable and connector reflections, and device addressability, stand as barriers to throughput performance as servers are pushed to meet advancing system and application capabilities and requirements.


9    Securing Storage Area Networks with iSCSI
Date:  Monday 2 July 2007
iSCSI delivers the highest level of security for Storage Area Networks


10    Are storage strategies keeping up with the new agile workplace?
Date:  Monday 2 July 2007
In an MIS Magazine 2006 survey, CIOs were asked what their key challenges were for the year. ‘Aligning IT with the Business' ranked number 3, just below ‘Retaining Good People' and ‘Managing Budgets'.
