Storage Applications

"This is a great book at the right time . . . I found the book to be exactly what I was looking for and very well written." --Dr. David Spuler, Director of Advanced Research, BMC Software and Author, Enterprise Application Management with PATROL (1999) What Every Enterprise Needs to Know to Solve Its Data Deluge! Depending on the analyst one follows, corporate IT departments will spend between 75 and 90 cents of every dollar over the next five years on data storage products. The reason is simple: Companies are generating data at a phenomenal rate and increasing their requirements for data storage by 100 percent or more per year. In The Holy Grail of Data Storage Management, Jon William Toigo documents current trends in storage technology and shows IT executives exactly how to plan a comprehensive strategy for maximizing the availability, performance, and cost-effectiveness of enterprise storage. Discover how to: Map your storage strategy to long-term business goals and application data movement requirements Apply architectural, scalability, and investment protection criteria to every storage purchase Customize storage to key enterprise applications, including data warehousing, ERP, OLTP, and e-commerce Master the new skills needed to manage next-generation storage This vendor-neutral guide offers new insight into every next-generation storage technology: network attached storage (NAS), RAID array configurations, storage appliances, near on-line storage, Storage Area Networks (SANs), optical systems, and much more. If you're responsible for enterprise storage, planning, architecture, and/or distributed systems, you'll find this book absolutely indispensable. TheHoly Grail of Data Storage Management is complemented by a new website, http: //www.stormgt.org, which provides useful, up-to-the-minute information on the fast-changing world of storage and storage management technology. See the Introduction for more details.

A comprehensive guide to designing and implementing Storage Area Networks Storage Area Network Essentials Electronic commerce has made traditional data storage methods obsolete.The need for full-time data access, as well as the sharing of storage and data by multiple applications, has given rise to a completely new data storage paradigm – – the Storage Area Network (SAN). SANs are already revolutionizing distributed computing. In this comprehensive book, two top technology experts from VERITAS Software Corporation take you through all facets of storage networking. They first show you how a SAN can help consolidate conventional server storage onto networks. Then they explain how a SAN can help make applications highly available no matter how much data is being stored, which, in turn, makes data access and management faster and easier. Along the way, they provide you with invaluable advice on the design and deployment of the technology and how it works to make your decision to adopt storage networking easier, and give you an appreciation of the benefits that you are likely to realize. With this book, you’ ll find detailed, up-to-date coverage on: The evolution of computing in data centers and how it has led to SANs Killer applications for SANsStorage networking and what it means to an enterprise information processing architectureThe storage, network, and software components required for storage networkingIssues in SAN implementation and management Wiley Computer Publishing has teamed up with VERITAS Software Corporation to deliver a series of books for the enterprise storage management community. These titles will provide system and network administrators, serverapplication developers, and storage engineers with in-depth, hands-on information on how to build scalable, quick, and highly available storage area networks.

Fixed Content Aware Storage - The SNIA Fixed Content Aware Storage (FCAS) Technical Working Group is chartered to serve as a center of technical activities related to application-level object storage, specifically including Content Addressed Storage (CAS) and other naming schemas. This charter includes development of standards to allow applications to be storage vendor agnostic, interoperability standards to allow shared metadata integral with application data, interoperability standards to allow application data sharing, and SMI-S CIM profiles to manage object storage resources.

Block storage - Block storage refers to the direct access to random disk blocks in computer disk storage. Block storage is normally abstracted by a file system or database management system for use by applications and end users.

Storage Networking Industry Association - An association of producers and consumers of storage networking products, whose goal is to further storage networking technology and applications.

P2 (storage media) - DVCPRO P2 (P2 is short form for "Professional Plug-In") is a professional digital video format introduced by Panasonic in 2004, and especially tailored to ENG applications. It features tapeless (non-linear) recording of DVCPRO or DVCPRO50 streams on a solid state flash memory card.
