APTARE - The Hidden Costs of Developing Internal Storage Reporting Tools
Everyone knows that storage analytics are extremely valuable, providing critical data about on-going capacity, performance and allocations that are vital to sustaining business operations in today’s datacenters. This data is required to understand usage, resolve issues and forecast growth. Vendor-supplied management tools typically provide all of this information on demand, however, the complexity comes when trying to provide a consolidated view across not only multiple arrays but also, in many cases, multiple vendors and their associated tools.

APTARE - Optimizing Storage in VMware Environments
The big IT trend this decade has been the attempt by organizations to gain control of escalating IT costs through consolidation. Leading this consolidation wave is server virtualization – possibly today’s hottest high‐tech buzzword. In this context,server virtualization means turning an x86 server into several “virtual machines” through software that allows this physical server to appear as many x86 servers. “Through 2012, virtualization will be the highest‐impact trend in infrastructure and operations” predicts Gartner analyst Thomas Bittman. Leading this trend is the VMware® ESX™ enterprise‐level virtualization product, promoting server virtualization efficiencies to their fullest.

APTARE - How to Track the Cost of Storage - Part 2
In the first article we opened with a short discussion on why TCO calculations are worth the time they consume. Essentially, any realistic effort to reduce overall costs must start with an accurate baseline of the existing system cost. We also made mention of the startling fact that many IT organizations have no real idea how much their storage is costing them - even though it’s probably growing anywhere from 30 to 50 percent each year.

APTARE - How to Track the Cost of Storage - Part 1
The idea that data growth is exploding storage budgets certainly isn’t new. Storage costs have historically been in the top three IT expenses for most companies. Annual data growth is currently in the 30 to 50% range for many, and even higher in certain industries. So the problem isn’t going away, another accepted fact. It’s pretty common to hear IT managers lamenting these costs, sometimes accompanied by resignation, sometimes by denial. There’s a popular saying about the wisdom of focusing on conditions that can be controlled, and ignoring the ones that can’t. It would seem the common belief is that IT can do little to control storage costs.

Enabling Storage Services in Virtualized Cloud Environments
Many enterprise organizations are adopting both private and public clouds in the hopes of leveraging their promises for a more dynamic, agile company that can quickly respond to demanding customer requirements and changing market needs. Driving this initiative is the desire to more efficiently manage the applications and infrastructure hosted within the data center. Through optimization and efficiency, the enterprise can lower costs while enhancing the quality and quantity of IT services to the public and private consumer

Cracking the Big Data Problem with APTARE StorageConsole File Analytics
One doesn’t need to be an industry expert to know we are experiencing a tidal wave in the amount of data stored in our datacenters. What is surprising is this growth is now driven largely by unstructured data – files containing email, word processing documents, presentations, digital media, and the like. IDC estimates that unstructured data now accounts for more than 90% of our digital universe with “1.8 trillion gigabytes in 5000 quadrillion ‘files’ – and more than doubling every two years.” The volume of data has become so immense that IT analysts and the trade press have coined a new term for it – big data. But, what is big data? McKinsey Global Institute defines big data as “datasets whose size is beyond the ability of typical database software tools to capture, store, manage and analyze.”

APTARE - Storage Reclamation can Dramatically Reduce Storage Expense
Storage capacity requirements are growing in almost every data center causing many IT managers to look for ways to ‘bend the growth curve‘ and keep the IT budget from being consumed by the storage budget. In fact, a small bend in that curve, less than even 5%, can save the medium to large sized data center millions of dollars per year in their storage total cost of ownership (TCO). Most data centers can increase storage efficiency by more than that 5% by addressing surprisingly easy-to-fix storage provisioning problems, without having to go to an elaborate tiered storage strategy. However, the biggest challenge for the large enterprise is simply identifying these provisioning problems.

APTARE Offering Data Protection Assessments
Companies worldwide rely on complex backup environments to protect their data. Because of the size and complexity of the environments the level of backup reliability is often unknown. Experience has shown that companies have an overly optimistic estimate of their data protection levels. Most storage administrators assume their backup success rates are in the range of 90-95%. After an initial Data Protection Assessment they soon realize their actual success rate is around 65%. Far below an acceptable range.

The Seven Major Challenges Of Backup Compliance
Protection of financial data has always been a requirement for good business. The difference today is that this responsibility no longer lies solely with the CEO. IT now takes on a large portion of this duty, due in large part to the establishment of SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) in 2002. In addition to SOX, however, IT teams face over 10,000 other regulations in the United States alone, as well as a variety of internal SLAs.

PacketLight - Passive vs Active
Taking an active approach to your growing backbone network needs. The concept years ago of building a dark fiber backbone infrastructure using WDM was considered a complex challenge and an expensive solution used only by carriers. Due to this lack of knowledge, the complexity of the equipment and its cost- many data centers, ISP and financial institutions and other organizations found themselves compromising on passive solutions limiting their future growth and bounding them to an inferior technical solution for their essential backbone infrastructure.
