Thin provisioning has become a data center ‘must have’, but to maximize its benefits requires a certain amount of planning. This white paper sponsored by HP + Intel reveals best practices for thin provisioning that can help you optimize its effectiveness. Learn how to reduce storage, cooling and operational costs. (Sponsored by HP and Intel® Xeon® processor)   Intel, the Intel Logo and Intel® Xeon® Processors inside a...

IDG Enterprise offers insight into how HP and Intel are leading the industry with an innovative architectural approach to today’s storage needs in the face of yesterday’s strategies and the seemingly endless onslaught of future demands. In so doing, we dissect four key trends that go handin-hand with Converged Storage—Virtualization, Utility Storage, Deduplication and Big Data. These are the trends that are impacting, even revolu...

The idea of optimizing storage performance across enterprises is not only a self-evident desire, it is also a need. The growth of storage and the needs of the applications that the storage supports continue to outstrip the industry’s ability to fulfill that growth with any economic sense unless new and better processes are employed. Traditional methods are untenable unless accompanied by massive budget increases. The design of HP 3PAR Storage p...

Between increased use of server virtualization, the dynamic proliferation of private cloud, the ever-growing unstructured data pool, and the advent of “big data,” organizational data is going to continue to grow. Effective deduplication reduces the impact of that growth, lessening the strain of constant storage growth on organizations. All organizations need an effective deduplication strategy; ignoring deduplication will lead to data prot...

Disk-based backup with deduplication has emerged as a way for enterprises to deal with explosive data growth. Using it, they can accelerate backup and recovery processes and reduce total capacity requirements. This report sponsored by HP + Intel compares some of the leading solutions in this field and reveals which perform best based on a series of criteria. Find out which deduplication solution could best meet your company’s needs. Intel, the ...
