Data transfer capacity has been superseded by storage as the corporate must-have, but the cost of installing SANs remains a major stumbling block.
Tier two bank and major insurer Suncorp has consolidated and standardised its storage environment on NetApp's products, according to a statement distributed today by the vendor.
Storage may not be the most exciting product to come out of Apple this year but the company today announced a major revision of its Storage Area Networking (SAN) software package.
Cisco and RSA have teamed up to develop encryption technology for data-at-rest on tapes and other types of storage media, combined with key management within storage area network infrastructure.
Dell announced Monday plans to acquire SAN equipment manufacturer EqualLogic in a $1.4 billion cash deal, which may cause Dell to reconsider its partnership with storage leader, EMC.
Pronouncing that a given device doesn't need any more storage is a near-foolproof recipe for looking stupid somewhere down the line. However, I'm sceptical that many people need a 16GB mini-SD card for their phone.
Mammoth growth in storage volumes is a fact of life, but even so it's helpful to pause occasionally and try and work out whether our information strategies have fallen hopelessly out of step with the pace of technological growth and changes in costs.
As data volumes rise and storage systems become networked as a matter of course, it seems almost inevitable that the management tactics needed to control those systems will also become more complex. Yet that doesn't mean that IT managers are happy with that state of affairs.
Only a few years ago Atlassian and Omnidrive were the flag carriers for Australia's Web 2.0 movement. But recent developments have shown just how different the outcomes for start-up companies and entrepreneurs can be.
Is it a truck? Is it a giant portable wind tunnel? Well, yes -- but it's also a mobile datacentre with a maximum capacity of 4.1 petabytes of storage, which would easily hold an awful lot of high-res Superman footage.
Over the last decade the art of maintaining the datacentre of a large organisation has evolved into an art form.
Australian SMBs are hungry for storage, yet have been left underserved by major storage vendors. However, increasing demand for digital marketing and fast access to information is causing vendors to take notice of this once-neglected sector.
Making predictions about the storage market isn't difficult. Suggest that capacities will go up and costs will go down and you shouldn't go too far wrong.
Securing a storage area network is no simple task. Learn how to lock down your SAN using a mixture of SAN-specific and common security measures.
Even though the upfront costs are likely to be steep, a SAN can actually save you money. Find out if it's the best long-term solution for your storage environment.
At the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, Lucasfilm's director of IT operations, Kevin Clark, spoke about the difficulties in networking and providing data storage for their large collection of companies--including locations in Singapore and the remote Marin Headlands. He discusses how they managed to move to a new...
The HP EVA4400 is a Storage Area Network (SAN) system that provides data storage and security on a much larger scale than a simple RAID or NAS system. We found it to be a reliable and scalable high-end data system.
A series of network attached storage servers aimed at the small- to medium-sized business market has been unveiled by Adaptec.
We've been hearing for a long time about storage over IP, particularly with the iSCSI protocol. We take a look at the technology, its applications, and the devices you can use.
We test and compare NAS devices designed to suit a specific set of medium-enterprise requirements.
Few managers consider it a sexy area, but well-planned storage systems are critical to the functioning of businesses of all sizes. How has storage technology evolved and how can you plan the right system at the right price?
