The Next Generation of Disk Management for Windows Platforms

Overview Together, VERITAS and Microsoft developed a disk- and volume-management framework for the Windows platform. On Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, the result of this collaboration is Windows Disk Management and the Logical Disk Manager (LDM) program, which provides logical volume management for Windows. This white paper provides information about Logical Volume Management which removes physical limitations of storage, enabling administrators to build higher-performance, more available storage configurations from existing disk storage and simplifying disk administration tasks for reduced cost of ownership.

UniTree database management removes disk dependence

Instead of archiving all data on disk, UniTree Database Near Line will move data from disk to tape or optical storage once it becomes inactive, freeing up expensive disk space. If data is required for a query, then it will be reloaded to disk.

The Bloor Perspective: Offshoring, those DPA emails and Oracle 10g

In addition ASM integrates mirroring and removes the need for third-party volume management. The database takes control of the disk resource, and automatically stripes data across the disks in one megabyte chunks.

Microsoft puts brakes on Viridian

Among them: compatibility with IVT and AMD-V virtualisation technology built into newer Intel and AMD processors, respectively; support for Windows Vista; and the Volume Shadow Service, which enables administrators to back up a group of virtual...

Virtualisation gets trendy

An example of the first kind of virtualisation is partitioning a PC disk into smaller virtual drives, while an example of the second is combining a number of separate disks to make them appear as one physical disk (as in a storage network).

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
