Introduction
by Jeanette Burriesci
It's no secret that the data center is between a
rock and a hard place. Transaction and data
volumes continue to increase even as staff,
capital, and operations budgets are slashed.
Expectations for superior performance and
the ability to re-purpose existing assets put additional pressure on IT managers and executives.
The articles and research we've collected for you in this e-book are
offered as a guide out of this conundrum. The first article, "Intelligent Storage"
by Enterprise Storage Group analyst Arun Taneja, is a no-nonsense guide to storage
networking, both NAS and SAN. The second, "It's What's Inside That Counts" by storage
consultant Richard Scannell, explains what it means to manage storage infrastructure with a focus on the
enterprise's most valuable asset: data.
Last, we offer a summary of research about blade servers, which can provide budget
and labor relief. The sponsor of this e-book, Hewlett-Packard, also provides links
to white papers about blade servers.
In difficult times, compromise seems to be the only option. But, equipped with the right
information, sometimes you can achieve all your goals.
