The StorageWorks AiO600 will make your job easy if you need to migrate an Exchange or SQL Server as the wizards and ASM are very user friendly. If, however, you do not need all this then perhaps a NAS box with less bells and whistles may be a better bet.
The StorageWorks 400 is a neat little box yet, while it is very easy to use and implement, we wonder whether this will be enough to justify the relatively high price tag in the mind of most potential purchasers.
An affordable intermediate backup device for SMBs who want to take advantage of iSCSI. And with seamless integration and good performance the D2D110 is an excellent addition to any existing backup system.
Managing data storage is just as much of a task (or greater) as managing the servers themselves. It makes sense to centralise management in larger organisations wherever possible. Enter the storage area network (SAN).
We compare Xeon 5500 (Nehalem) servers from Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lenovo and Sun Microsystems and pick a winner.
Designed for use with server-based desktops such as Terminal Services, Citrix and VMware View, HP's t5730w is an excellent mid-range device suitable for most office applications.
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.
What's the best mid-range server on the market? We put machines from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Lenovo through their paces in our labs.
For a 12-inch laptop we'd expect more performance and features than we're getting, but there are obviously compromises to be made in making ultrathin affordable.
The HP Compaq dc7900 is a solid business offering in the premium desktop space, but the competition is a small step ahead.
The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.
The desktop is dead, long live the thin client desktop. Following the trend of migrating applications into the datacentre, thin clients have become increasingly popular. We found HP's first mobile thin client to be a reliable system at a reasonable price.
The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well " but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.
It can handle a wide range of backend business applications, but HP's Proliant ML370 G5 is over-specified for organisations with more modest requirements.
An appreciably large NAS server targeted for small- or home office use, above-average performance and considerable storage space make the Iomega Storcenter Pro 150d a great solution for data archiving and backing up PCs in your office.
