    There are few things more frustrating than spending hours on a task when you know there’s a faster, better way to do the same job. Bromford Group IT team members had a pretty good idea that spending up to four hours a day managing backup wasn’t a great use of their time. But with operational data held in various corporate files and network drives and a datacentre running at full capacity storage, they didn’t have much choice. When the company ─ which provides and manages high-quality...

I became fascinated with the parallels between junk dealers bidding on abandoned storage lockers and the way they find valuable items mixed in among pure junk and the concepts of storage in the technology industry. Whether it is a storage locker, your closet, or a storage array—physical...

    Simplicity. A solid word usually not associated with desktop virtualization, right? The truth is that many IT organizations today who want to deploy virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) find traditional VDI somewhat of a challenge. These organizations find it challenging to set up, configure and deploy VDI due to complexity of consoles, and servers and equipment needed to establish a simple proof of concept or pilot. These challenges cause IT organizations either to do nothing, outsource their VDI...

    Like many people today, I use my laptop constantly. It goes with me as I move from office to office at work, go home for the evening, stop by the coffee shop, and travel both nearby and around the world. This means I care about system durability and battery life, but I also need excellent performance. At Principled Technologies , we recently tested four Microsoft Windows 7 laptops for Dell—the Dell Latitude E5420, the Dell Latitude E6420, the HP EliteBook 8460p, and the Lenovo ThinkPad T420...

    According to a recent Forrester blog companies utilize less than 5% of the available data because it is too expensive to deal with. Enter the notion of Big Data. Big Data lets companies dip into the other 95%. In Forresters' CIO document on big data, they define it as: techniques and technologies that make handling data at extreme scale affordable. However, this mountain of data is unstructured: email, clickstream data, photos, web logs and most data solutions are not designed to handle it...

    Did you realize that most files are created and never looked at again after creation? Read any analyst report of storage these days and this makes sense, as data center storage requirements are continuing to grow. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were an efficient way to compress some of those files that only get looked at once, but that still need to be kept due to business requirements? Today at Dell World , Dell Storage announced the launch of the new DX6000G SCN (Storage Compression Node...

According to sources like Gartner and The Uptime Institute, data center energy consumption doubled from 2000 to 2006 and facilities...

    Small and medium businesses have historically been treated as a single segment within the IT solutions market. In reality, medium-sized organizations have very different needs from those of small businesses who are often challenged with having to rapidly scale and expand with limited budgets. This rapid growth is forcing them to have to frequently update their infrastructure, however budget constraints largely keep them from doing so since most IT system upgrades require expensive and time consuming...
