network backup solutions for business by Alley Alian
Hey. I had a few questions, about backup at companies. I'm just guessing on this, because I've never worked at a big corporation, but for backups, do the employees of the company usually save all critical data on the network server under the folder name that they have access to ? Then whenever a...

write delays on writes to EMC Symetrix by pedro d
Hi We have an app that writes to a 700MB memory mapped file on an EMC Sym from a Sun V480 with JNI HBAs. The Sym has 16Gb of cache. On occasions the app users complain that the app freezes. I wrote a perl script to simulate the app, and measure write performance. My script re-writes a 500MB...

1GB cache related plus ... by albatros66
Hi, This is in reality related to low cost subsystems like SCSI-to-IDE or or FC-to-SATA or similar but one can think more general about it ... 1) What can be benefits from upgrading subsystem's memory cache from 512MB to 1GB?

Suggestions for simple, RELIABLE NAS? by Beeblebrox
We currently have a NAS solution that, while it more-than meets our need in storage capacity and performance, isn't as reliable as we'd like: 2 hosts attached to the same SCSI bus, using a commercial clustering software to failover NFS and IP between 2 hosts. Obviously, the SCSI chain is a...

Cheaper alternative to Promise UltraTrak RM15000? by .
Hello everyone I'm thinking of buying the Promise UltraTrak RM15000 for personal use, since I have 15 WD 100G drives. The problem is, I'd rather not go with a SCSI-IDE solution, I'd prefer a Firewire 800 raid case that'll hold 12+ drives. I'd also perfer a tower system, preferably aluminum...

Disk system for storing archival data by richard rhodes
I am interested in our thoughts and comments on a raid system that would be used for storing archival data. Requirements: - maximum capacity - minimum dollars (but not cheap, as in poor quality) - minimal performance need (the data mostly just sits there) - must provide "phone home" capability to...

MRAM by 4thHorse
I read an post from earlier this year stating reasons why MRAM might have a difficult time establishing a market, but I noticed that it did not mention the fact that MRAM does not lose info after power loss. Does this only help with quick boot-up, or are there other applications?

Snap 1100 Linux Replacement by John Ingram
The Snap Server 1100 (http://www.snapappliance.com/page.cfm?name=1100Main&nav=1100) is a cute little box, a little bigger than a brick, that is sold as a file server or NAS box (80 GB disk). It qualifies in my mind as "appliance", because it only has an ethernet plug and no other inputs or...
