Download this free white paper to learn how combining Double-Take Software's replication solutions with virtualization technologies, organizations can achieve additional flexibility and cost-effectively protect their critical data and applications.

Double-Take for Hyper-V allows customers to quickly recover virtual machines after any type of outage without the expense and complexity of clustering or shared storage.

IBM and SAP® have a unique partnership that was established with the goal of delivering the very best enterprise IT solutions to SAP customers.

Data profile assessments will let us help you determine the best match for your situation, the data you are looking to protect, your service level agreements, and the specifics of your current challenges and environment.

This joint Intel white paper explores how to address virtualization in an environment with high I/O. The paper includes a technology overview, network concerns and explains how Virtuozzo and Intel are well suited for the high I/O environment.

Virtualization adds a whole new level of complexity to the IT infrastructure, introducing new challenges in every step of the process – from planning to configuration and management. Read how effective service management can help tackle the challenges of virtualization in this white paper from BMC Software.

The paper discusses the agility enabled by virtualization, the resulting control challenges, and a way to meet those challenges. It describes seven major requirements for success and reviews how the BMC/VMware approach helps IT ensure control over the virtualized data center and maintain compliance with corporate policies and government regulations.

Despite progress in virtualization, much development still remains. With predictions that virtualization will become pervasive, this research highlights forthcoming challenges and strategic issues facing IT planners. Register now for this free Gartner report sponsored by Dell and Intel to receive important advice on how to deal issues such as heterogeneity, resources and performance optimization, and the increasing fragmented tool market.

Cloud computing allows companies to use IT resources as a service, taking advantage of shared applications, processing and storage managed within the cloud - either inside a private cloud at an internal data center, or in an external cloud at a service provider. Greater robustness of the virtualized servers supporting this new IT model will ensure a resilient cloud infrastructure capable of delivering "on-demand" access to users.

Virtualization can deliver dramatic benefits for data centers, but it can also stress the underlying support infrastructure.  Power and cooling systems—which may have been quite sufficient for pre-virtualization needs—could easily become inadequate when data center performance patterns are radically altered.  This paper describes some of power challenges related to virtualization—and the readily available technologies to address them.

This white paper demonstrates how power, cooling, and real estate requirements are finally combining-to form a perfect storm for expensive, locked-in, proprietary hardware. Is there a way out?

Increased processing needs means increased energy costs. In fact, power costs can often exceed hardware costs. Read this white paper and see how the pairing of new IBM System x and BladeCenter servers with the new Intel Xeon Processor 5500 series can reduce costs and improve performance.

The experts at IDC predict that external disk storage capacity will grow 50% through 2010. In this free white paper, they'll show you how to simplify managing all that extra data while lowering costs, by implementing unified storage.

Double-Take Move provides migration functionality that dramatically reduces the impact and risk of migrations in the data center and across any geographic distance. Double-Take Move has a patented and award-winning replication engine that provides real-time, byte-level data replication and ensures transaction consistency without affecting users and production applications. Read this whitepaper to learn about the concerns that affect data, application and whole system migration.

This free white paper from the experts at IDC posits solutions to the key problems posed by data center crowding: geometrically growing power and cooling costs; the spiraling cost of management; and the sheer number of server footprints.

Mid-sized businesses have long struggled to protect their IT systems. Many firms are inadequately protected and mistakenly think that a disaster is rare and won’t happen to them anytime soon. This custom Yankee Group Report uses customer interviews, statistical data and Yankee Group SMB survey results to examine disaster recovery (DR) issues.

Lee Kaminski, Product Manager for Stratus Avance High Availability Solution, discusses what an effective availability solution requires and how Avance delivers.

Haitham Al-Beik, Product Development Engineer, highlights the key product attributes of Avance that deliver ease of use and other elements designed to improve an IT Administrator's world.

VMware Virtual Infrastructure and CA Recovery Management (CA ARCserve Backup and CA Xosoft products) team up to deliver higher availability and risk-resistance for business-critical information and applications, while lowering management and operational costs and complexity.

CA ARCserve® Backup, CA XOsoft™ Replication, and CA XOsoft™ High Availability provide several key features that enable you to both protect virtualized servers and benefit from server virtualization in your overall recovery management strategy

Storage costs are exploding. The culprits, according to this white paper: new Web-based applications that demand more I/O throughput and higher performance than ever. So how can you handle this onslaught while keeping your cost per GB (and cost per user) reasonable?
