RAID White Papers RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks) refers to a data storage scheme using multiple hard drives to share or replicate data among the drives. Depending on the configuration of the RAID (typically referred to as the RAID level), the benefit of RAID is one or more of increased data integrity, fault-tolerance, throughput or capacity compared to single drives.
In this paper, we'll compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of various deduplication techniques.

IT budgets are shrinking even as the reliance on data availability grows. One area where IT departments can realize significant savings is in storage. Download this paper to get a breakdown of the actual costs paid for storage when real-world utilization and performance numbers, in addition to costs, are surfaced.

Storage virtualization has been a positive evolutionary step in the data center, driving the consolidation of power and floorspace to maximize utilization and power savings. With all of the benefits of virtualization comes a wholesale change in the way that you must plan for implementation, management, backup, and recovery.

One key area where operational efficiencies can be achieved is in the storage infrastructure. Traditional storage systems are inherently inefficient, with multiple arrays of dedicated storage and various management points. Thin provisioning is now recognized as a critical approach to simplifying storage management while drastically improving capacity utilization.

System reliability is a vital component in Storage Area Network (SAN) design that keeps your production environment operating and avoids data loss and downtime. But since SANs are built using both mechanical and electronic parts, component failures due to usage, environmental factors, or manufacturing defects are not uncommon. Even in completely redundant systems, controllers can fail, fans can stop operating, power supplies can burn out, and disk drives can degrade or fail.
