This report describes how improving the efficiency of data storage, deduplication solutions has enabled organizations to cost-justify the increased use of disk for backup and recovery. However, the changing demands on IT storage infrastructures have begun to strain the capabilities of initial deduplication products. To meet these demands, a new generation of deduplication solutions is emerging which scale easily, offer improved performance and availability and simplify management and integration within the IT storage infrastructure. HP refers to this new generation as "Deduplication 2.0.

Operational challenges have long been used as a reason not to introduce a second vendor into the network infrastructure. However, by taking an organized approach and using well-established multivendor network management tools and disciplines, enterprises can reduce operational challenges to a minimum, while reaping the benefits of a lower-cost, better-performing infrastructure.

The proliferation of new, extended application development in software as a service, as well as new virtualization technologies, have created in most data centers a conflict between today's outdated capabilities versus tomorrow's growing needs.

A number of associations, consultants and vendors have promoted best practices for enhancing data center energy efficiency. These practices cover everything from facility lighting to cooling system design, and have proven useful in helping some companies slow or reverse the trend of rising data center energy consumption. However, most organizations still lack a cohesive, holistic approach for reducing data center energy use.

Throughout the first decade of the 21st century, countless new technologies, unprecedented business demands, and expanding IT budgets created the modern data center.

This paper offers insight into how airflow can be utilized and manipulated to cool servers in the data center. The analysis uncovers new revelations regarding how tiles perform while framing this performance in financial terms.

For anyone involved in IT, virtualization has ushered in an entirely new world, one where a lot of traditional rules, strategies, and approaches no longer apply. In the rush to adopt virtualization, many organizations have entered this world ill-equipped to deal with the new realities. This is especially true when it comes to capacity management.

Cloud computing is getting a lot of coverage in the media and a lot of space in the slide decks presented in analyst briefings.

This Cloud Computing Trends Report provided insight into the expectations small, medium and large businesses have of cloud computing, their intended uses, reasons for adopting, and expected time-frames for implementing cloud-based solutions.

Ovum takes a deep-dive technology audit of Vertica's Analytic Database that is designed specifically for storing and querying large datasets.

Independent research firm Knowledge Integrity Inc. examine two high performance computing technologies that are transitioning into the mainstream: high performance massively parallel analytical database management systems (ADBMS) and distributed parallel programming paradigms, such as MapReduce, (Hadoop, Pig, and HDFS, etc.). By providing an overview of both concepts and looking at how the two approaches can be used together, they conclude that combining a high performance batch programming and execution model with an high performance analytical database provides significant business benefits for a number of different types of applications.
