Bronson Healthcare Group
Expedites Patient Care
- NetApp |
|
|
The Bronson campus
supports more than 20 therapies and modalities on-site
and schedules hundreds of patient exams every day.
Transitioning to digital imaging in the radiology
department provided a tremendous diagnostic benefit,
but as a result growth across all modalities has
exceeded 20% each of the last four years. |

California State
University San Marcos Leverages Network Appliance™
Storage and SnapVault™ Software for Enhanced Data
Protection -
NetApp |
|
|
During an assessment of
the university’s data protection plan, IT
administrators realized that in a worst-case
scenario—such as a fire in the facility housing tapes
with incremental system backups—the university could
lose up to six days’ worth of data. This level of risk
was unacceptable, as losing critical student
registration and financial information at any time
during the 16-week semester could have a serious
impact on students and faculty. |

China Everbright Bank
Rolls Out National Training Program
- NetApp |
|

Since China’s entry into
the World Trade Organization, the Chinese banking
industry has been preparing for competition from
international banks. Foreign banks, many of which are
larger and in a stronger global position, will be
allowed to compete domestically for the first time in
2005. In preparation for this new competitive
environment, domestic banks have been looking to
enhance their competitive advantages. |

Network Appliance (NetApp)
is the leader in providing network attached storage
(NAS) solutions and has been building fast, simple and
reliable storage subsystems since 1992. The NetApp
Filers are easy to manage, utilize standard and mature
network protocols, support multiple operating systems,
and are built on a highly reliable and proven
platform. NetApp has developed its own file system and
sophisticated data management software, the most
notable being its snapshot capability. |

| Factors
in iSCSI Technology Acquisition
- Wasabi |
 |
| The
emerging iSCSI Internet Standard defines a communication
protocol for implementing storage area networks by
transporting the SCSI protocol over TCP/IP. By mapping
SCSI to TCP and defining related services and
requirements such as session establishment, private
authenticated login, data confidentiality, target
discovery, and a naming architecture, iSCSI enables the
creation of interoperating block level storage servers

Network Appliance and
IBM DB2 on Linux Enable Factual Data to Shorten
Response Times, Increase Database Availability
- NetApp |
|
|
Factual Data was running
its database on dedicated servers with direct-attached
SCSI disk arrays—an arrangement the company found
slow, hard to scale, and unreliable. Factual Data
needed to improve the performance of its data
management infrastructure by deploying a more easily
scalable storage solution capable of accommodating
growing data volumes while staying online and
accessible. |

Folksamerica Reinsurance Company Executes on Strategic
Vision for Companywide Information Accessibility
- NetApp |
|
|
One day it’s business as
usual, the next you’re packing up the headquarters of
a billion-dollar company and transporting dozens of
people, servers, and backup tapes across the state to
a rented building. Such was the case when the events
of 9/11 forced an unexpected four-month closure of the
Folksamerica offices adjacent to the World Trade
Center in New York City. |

Steps to Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity using
iSCSI -
EqualLogic |

It’s a fact of business
life – physical, natural, and digital disasters do
occur, and they interrupt operations and impact
revenue. Your level of preparation and planning will
determine your ability to recover from a disaster.
Dramatic lessons about this topic have been learned in
the past few years, yet some organizations remain
unprepared. This much is certain – organizations that
are prepared are able to withstand disasters, while
those that are unprepared risk heavy losses. |

around 15,000 e-mails back and forth daily, ensuring
communications services are 24x7 and any breaks are

Internet Access & Security Solution Helps Interval
International Improve Web Security & Performance
- NetApp |

An aging firewall that
could not scale to support expanding security
requirements precipitated Interval’s search for an
improved Internet access solution. As the company’s
business and supporting infrastructure grew, so too
did its exposure to potentially devastating viruses,
malicious code, and unauthorized network access. |

| IP SANs:
Quick & Easy -
IN_fusion |
|
|
IP SANs rely on the use
of industry standard Ethernet components - components
that are familiar to every system manager. In many
businesses no additional investment in the underlying
network infrastructure is needed. In the cases where
the network is upgraded or a switch is added, the
hardware is one-third to one-quarter the cost of Fibre
Channel equivalents, and no additional training is
required. |

Performance -
SANRAD |
|
|
SAN benefits of improved
storage utilization, high availability and data
protection are well understood. Today there are two
protocols available for building block-based SANs, FC
and iSCSI. Both protocols use SCSI commands generated
by the file systems of the servers. These SCSI
commands are converted by the iSCSI or FC protocol so
they can move thru a network to and from a centralized
data storage system where the commands are executed. |

to Replace NAS
- SANRAD |

|
A number of businesses
are selecting IP SAN solutions over traditional NAS
products for fulfilling storage consolidation
projects. This document reviews the advantages and
disadvantage of NAS vs. SAN, how NAS vendors address
their disadvantages, and introduces an IP SAN
solution, which combines any disk storage system with
SANRAD's iSCSI V-Switches. This complete IP SAN
solution will deliver a better solution than NAS. |

Internet Protocol (IP)
is the most widely used standard on the planet. The
technology is well understood, easy to implement and
affordable. Most corporate data traffic uses a common
IP network…except for storage data. Access to high
performance storage data usually requires
direct-attached devices or a Fibre Channel (FC)
storage network. |
