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? (or maybe graual effects: 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB,
more)
2) Is it true...

A new gold standard for archival storage? by
David Arnstein
There seems to be a broad consensus that magneto-optical disks offer
the most reliable long term storage for data. Here is something that
appears to be similar, and holds 30GB in a 5 inch package!
What do you think about this medium?

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
