WAN File Tiering (Avere)
Are you working with huge data files? Trying to tackle remote access? If so, seldom has there been a good solution built for you. Nearly every technology built for typical productivity data falls apart with humongous files, and in the age of the distributed work force, the resultant data transfer challenges can be nothing short of crippling for many businesses - video production, seismic imaging, EDA, and many others come to mind. Join us in this solution profile as we take a look at Avere's take on the problem - leveraging their approach to automated, transparent file tiering, they seem poised to help customers with large data sets address their data movement challenges once and for all.

Hypervisor Shootout: Maximizing Workload Density in the Virtualization Platform
Twice in 2009, Taneja Group benchmarked the performance of the leading hypervisor platforms, with an eye to understanding which offered the best virtual machine (VM) densities, and we are pleased to update our findings in this new Technology Validation report.
Our testing again focused on VM Density, which is our measure of the number of VMs that can run simultaneously—executing a well-defined set of consistent application workloads—on a single hypervisor instance without disruptive performance impact (service-level breach). This time we expanded our testing to include the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 Kernel-Based Virtual Machine (RHEL 5.5 KVM) in addition to the latest available generation of vendor hypervisors: VMware vSphere 4.1 (ESXi 4.1), Microsoft Hyper-V R2 (Hyper-V) and Citrix XenServer 5.6 (XenServer).

Optimizing IT Processes (Citrix)
The tide of server virtualization has overswept the data center, and many times it has strewn the floatsam of inefficiencies across existing IT processes, as they struggle to adapt to the changing infrastructure. Nowhere is this more the case than around the storage infrastructure - an infrastructure that was already far from being described as the flexible, elegant, and efficient set of resources that the always changing virtual infrastructure demands. Most hypervisors impose a layer of indirection and abstraction upon the virtual infrastructure, and such indirection can wreak havoc on the IT processes that are currently wrapped around the storage infrastructure. Join us as we take a look, and take a look at a solution.

Fabric Convergence (Chelsio)
Fabric convergence is poised to change the infrastructure, but mired in the discussions around underlying protocols and connectivity, seldom do the true capabilities or benefits surface. Moreover, this converged infrastructure may be a foundation on top of which we see even greater innovation occur, quite possibly in the devices that are themselves attached to the fabric.
