Book excerpt: Data Storage TechnologiesK.L.JAMESInformation has become very costly and indispensable in recent times. Information is present everywhere and is created continuously. It can be commonly seen that organizations are struggling hard for properly and effectively managing the huge volumes and varieties of information flowing through business systems, as the quantum of information is increasing with the passing of time. The use of information in its originally created form and style creates several difficulties and hence this is not done. The essentially required data is extracted from the huge information pile by employing suitable methods and appropriate technologies. The extracted data is properly stored for archiving and effective retrieving. Storing all the routine information dealt by organizations is costly and difficult. With the changes in requirements and technologies, businesses are constantly exploring and experimenting new methods for properly storing and effectively managing data. The ageing storage architectures and technologies are found too costly in terms of cost and time spent for effective data storage and management. Newer technologies such as converged and hyper converged infrastructures, public and private clouds, scaled up and scaled out devices, flash technology and software defined solutions are making the storage efficient and better. The text book Data Storage Technologies discusses the different concepts associated with data storage and the technologies used as well as the trends and practices followed in the designing and managing of efficient data storage systems. The book is targeted for students undergoing courses in data storage systems as well as for professionals working in related fields. The objective of the book is to introduce to the reader the basic concepts associated with data storage, steps necessary for designing well suited data storage solutions and the effective ways of using new technologies for data storage and management. Starting with an introductory chapter dealing with the basic concepts, the book progresses to discuss new topics like storage virtualization and cloud storage. The end chapter worksheets and short answer questions act as resources for self assessment and to test the new knowledge gained from each chapter of the book. Elegant and simple style of presentation makes reading of this book a pleasant experience. The book will be found highly acceptable to those who are interested to get acquainted with the latest and the newest trends associated with data storage technologies.
Download or read book Introduction to Storage Area Networks written by Jon Tate and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The superabundance of data that is created by today's businesses is making storage a strategic investment priority for companies of all sizes. As storage takes precedence, the following major initiatives emerge: Flatten and converge your network: IBM® takes an open, standards-based approach to implement the latest advances in the flat, converged data center network designs of today. IBM Storage solutions enable clients to deploy a high-speed, low-latency Unified Fabric Architecture. Optimize and automate virtualization: Advanced virtualization awareness reduces the cost and complexity of deploying physical and virtual data center infrastructure. Simplify management: IBM data center networks are easy to deploy, maintain, scale, and virtualize, delivering the foundation of consolidated operations for dynamic infrastructure management. Storage is no longer an afterthought. Too much is at stake. Companies are searching for more ways to efficiently manage expanding volumes of data, and to make that data accessible throughout the enterprise. This demand is propelling the move of storage into the network. Also, the increasing complexity of managing large numbers of storage devices and vast amounts of data is driving greater business value into software and services. With current estimates of the amount of data to be managed and made available increasing at 60% each year, this outlook is where a storage area network (SAN) enters the arena. SANs are the leading storage infrastructure for the global economy of today. SANs offer simplified storage management, scalability, flexibility, and availability; and improved data access, movement, and backup. Welcome to the cognitive era. The smarter data center with the improved economics of IT can be achieved by connecting servers and storage with a high-speed and intelligent network fabric. A smarter data center that hosts IBM Storage solutions can provide an environment that is smarter, faster, greener, open, and easy to manage. This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides an introduction to SAN and Ethernet networking, and how these networks help to achieve a smarter data center. This book is intended for people who are not very familiar with IT, or who are just starting out in the IT world.
