File Server Consolidation

The cost of file storage has always been a problem for enterprise IT administrators, how can you effectively reduce the cost involved in file storage? For years, corporate organizations have faced exponential growth in data, and they have been buying more storage capacity to support this growth, and in anticipation of a slowing economy, Enterprise organizations still do not suffer from the impact of reducing the content created and the need for data preservation. Therefore, the data that needs to be stored will continue to increase, and the budget will be further reduced, which is clearly an uncoordinated state. If you have more data, then you need more ...

Microsoft James Black, serif; Font-size:10.5pt "> Several concepts need to be sorted out. Cloud computing is selling computing services, and hosting is no matter how you calculate, I just give you power supply cold maintenance. Cloud computing and cloud storage are even more different. Cloud computing is selling computing well, similar to the country that a few large computing centers, give me the data, I give you the results. While cloud storage is selling storage at this stage, it's like selling web space, except that cloud storage sells a LUN or a NAS-based vol, plus more ...

Designing 1 applications doesn't seem to be difficult, but it's not easy to achieve the optimal performance of the system. There are many choices in development tools, database design, application structure, query design, interface selection, and so on, depending on the specific application requirements and the skills of the development team. This article takes SQL Server as an example, discusses the application performance optimization techniques from the perspective of the background database, and gives some useful suggestions. 1 database design to achieve optimal performance in a good SQL Server scenario, the key is to have 1 ...

As we all know, in recent years x86 server has been more and more widely used in various occasions, from file servers, Web servers to mail servers to large database servers, virtualization integration, especially in this year's Intel E7 series processor release, but also set off a wave of upsurge, Pointed at the Enterprise key application market Overlord-minicomputer. The IDC Global Server Research report shows that by the end of 2010, x86 servers exceeded 95% of global server shipments and nearly 60% of global server turnover. Market segments, in recent years, 4-way and 8-way service ...

In the business and enterprise network, generally are mining C mode, that is, "client-server" mode, according to the authority of the investigation and prediction, the future of the network development also shows the trend of centralized computing. 　　And the rise of data center to the server configuration density put forward more and more high requirements, it is in this situation, in order to break the limit of individual performance of the server, a new generation of clustered server-blade server. With the further development of large-scale computing and network server requirements for parallel processing capabilities, "collective power" to cast a powerful processing power blade server has been ...

Virtualization vendors may be promoting the potential of putting 20, 50, or even 100 virtual machines on a single physical server, but IT managers and industry experts say these ratios are dangerous in a production environment, causing performance problems or worse disruption issues. In the test and development environment, companies can put 50 virtual machines in a single physical host, said Andimann, vice president for research at Colorado State Boulder's Business Management Association (EMA). However, when it comes to important tasks and resource-intensive applications, the virtual machine ...

From a theoretical point of view, the server is a http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/16327.html "> network environment of High-performance computers, it listens to other computers on the network (client) submitted by the service request, and provide the corresponding service. 　　To this end, the server must have the ability to assume service and ensure quality of service. But this explanation is still more esoteric, in fact, the server and the function of the PC is similar to help people to deal with information tools ...

Virtualization technology has won more and more users around the world, but the industry also has doubts about the technology. Those opposed to server virtualization cite a series of questions about the technology. This article lists the top ten challenges of virtualization technology for users who plan to migrate to the virtual infrastructure. 　　Some of the challenges are the fact that virtualization technology has existed a few years ago, but these doubts will eventually be obliterated by more sophisticated technology, more sophisticated software and competition among vendors. 1. Server virtualization software price is too expensive some virtualization solutions than its ...

Today's server market, whether from the technical level, or from the application level, is facing more and more challenges, of course, for chip manufacturers and server manufacturers to bring more opportunities. From the perspective of application, on the one hand, many applications to server performance requirements more and more high, like emerging Internet applications, video computing, High-performance computing and so on, the computational performance, storage performance, I/O throughput of the higher requirements, and secondly, the low utilization of the server has been a realistic problem can not be ignored, according to statistics ，...

The "3Par takeover Incident", which began in August this year, has been abuzz with the first head-on showdown between HP and two large companies in the takeover case. 　　After two weeks of intense competition, Hewlett-Packard finally bought 3Par companies at a high price of 2.35 billion dollars. HP and Dale 3Par to become the focus of the industry why do two of companies value a storage enterprise that is not big? The reason is that the cloud storage era is coming soon, facing the IT industry almost crazy competition, who do not want to "lose at the starting line." Two companies are willing to pay a large price to collect ...
