IP Storage

IP-Storage networking technology was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force. FCIP mechanisms enable the transmission of Fibre Channel (FC) information by tunneling data between storage area network (SAN) facilities over IP networks; this capacity facilitates data sharing over a geographically distributed enterprise.

Removable Storage Technologies: A Comparative Overview - April 30, 2007

Most data storage devices can be broadly characterized as either fixed media or removable media. This paper briefly examines and compares magnetic tape, magneto-optical disk, and removable magnetic disks, and identifies their positioning, future trends, and market applications.

Managing Storage Growth with an Affordable and Flexible IP SAN - April 29, 2007

Enterprise data requirements grow at 50 - 100 percent a year, creating a constant storage infrastructure management challenge. As new storage is brought into the environment, it is typically added within inflexible single server-silos.

The Storage Area Network Goes Global - April 25, 2007

As the demand for bandwidth grows, so does the reach of networks. Users need to access data globally, from multiple locations around the world, quickly and transparently without breaking budgets. Data centers locked into servicing only local users unnecessarily constrain growth and expansion.

Enabling Cost Effective Global Enterprise Storage Area Networks Using 10 Gigabit Ethernet - April 25, 2007

The demands on Storage Area Networks (SANs) go far beyond where they were only a few years ago. It is no longer good enough to just provide a large pool of scalable storage with good performance.
