IT organizations are recognizing the benefits of virtualizing their data centers, and many of them are enabling server virtualization with VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3). Some VI3 features—including VMware High Availability, VMotion and the Distributed Resource Scheduler—require shared storage. This white paper describes how HP LeftHand SANs can help you deploy VI3 software more effectively through volume snapshots, SmartClone volumes, volume migration and high-availability features. |
|
The ability to virtualize the data center and deploy applications across a shared pool of server resources lets you break free
of the limitations of aging, silo-based applications. Learn how HP LeftHand P4000 SAN solutions complement VI3 infrastructures, allowing you to take advantage of advanced
virtualization features, at the same time simplifying management, reducing costs and helping you work within space, power and cooling constraints. |
|
Federal Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) requirements for storage mandate a well-thought-out business continuity plan.
An HP LeftHand P4000 SAN provides built-in high availability and disaster recovery features that will help you implement federal COOP directives.
This white paper discusses how an HP P4000 SAN can cost-effectively protect you against multiple site and system failures in the data center and at remote sites. |
|
HP LeftHand P4000 SAN Solutions provide flexible storage that is optimized for your virtualized server environment.
This white paper discusses support for the high-availability and disaster-recovery features provided by server virtualization solutions, cost-effective support
for virtual desktop environments, and support for virtualized environments at central and remote sites, facilitating data synchronization between locations. |
|
Many of virtualization’s additional benefits, including built-in, cost-effective high availability and disaster recovery features,
require external shared storage with a comprehensive feature set to support high availability and disaster recovery.
Learn how HP LeftHand P4000 SANs overcome many of the cost and management limitations of traditional SANs. |
|
Organizations choosing server virtualization as part of their high availability and disaster recovery strategy often overlook
the requirement for an adequate shared storage solution. Learn how HP LeftHand P4000 SAN Solutions provide cost-effective support for server virtualization and offer
integrated, no-cost high availability and disaster recovery storage solutions. |

All storage systems are not created equal. In the case of Network Appliance (NetApp),
its operating system and file system were originally designed solely based on the requirements of network attached storage (NAS).
There is no clearer proof of this than NetApp's "space reservation policy" in its storage area network (SAN) and iSCSI block solutions—a liability not found in NetApp NAS.
This white paper describes both this NetApp practice and the cost-of-ownership consequences. |
|
The Microsoft iSCSI Software Target enables the HP All-in-One Storage System or ProLiant Storage Server to become an external
shared storage device needed to create a cluster, providing a cost-effective cluster solution. This white paper describes how to set up a cluster using MS iSCSI Target
as the shared-cluster disk provider. |
|
This document is an introduction to All-in-One (AiO) Storage System snapshots of Exchange 2007 Server databases,
using the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target and Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS). Learn about the required components to take snapshots—and how they interact
during the snapshot process. |

Discussing the introduction of HP Dynamic deduplication and low bandwidth replication (LBR) on HP D2D2500, D2D4000 and D2D4100
Backup Systems, this technical white paper demonstrates the way data protection can be implemented has been transformed. |
|
This white paper explains how dynamic deduplication works and also establishes how a 50:1 deduplication ratio may be achieved.
Using representative business data sets in an independent test-bed, a deduplication ratio of 50:1 was achieved after 35 full backup cycles. |
|
Conducted by Binary Testing, Ltd., this report demonstrates the efficiency of HP’s deduplication technology and shows the positive
impact it can have eon data backup operations. |
