Case Study: Prudential client reference Ricoh Americas Corporation client reference
Ricoh Americas Corporation implemented a virtualized storage environment which included IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller, IBM XIV Storage System and IBM System Storage DS8000, enabling seamless migration and more efficient storage management.
IBM Case Study: Dar Al-Handasah engineers smart solution to data growth challenge
With storage needs doubling every few years, Dar Al-Handasah needed to rationalize and optimize its storage infrastructure. Performance, capacity, cost and ease of management needed to be addressed. The solution deployed two IBM Storwize V7000 storage systems with built-in tools for data migration, thin provisioning and auto data tiering; virtualized legacy storage systems within the V7000 environment. The benefit Backups run 25% percent faster; increased performance of existing storage; cut floor space requirements by 75%; improved efficiency of capacity utilization; delayed investments in extra capacity.
Reinventing Antivirus: How cloud architecture and behavior recognition are changing the security game and making traditional antivirus obsolete
Traditional Antivirus is Becoming Obsolete. Have you seen a lot of articles and blog posts with titles like "Is Antivirus Dead?" If so, there is a good reason: Traditional signature-based antivirus technology is rapidly heading toward obsolescence. But there are new approaches that can make antivirus effective and practical again. Here we will look at three of them: Client/cloud architecture; Behavior recognition; and Journaling and rollback.
Webroot SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection vs. Seven Competitors
This report presents results and findings as a result of performance benchmark testing conducted for endpoint security products. The aim of this benchmark was to compare the performance impact of Webroot's SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection product with seven competitor products.
Closing the Circle: How to get manageable endpoint, mobile device and web security together
In this white paper we will discuss: Why traditional endpoints and mobile devices require overlapping (but not identical) security solutions; How to enhance the protection of all endpoints by adding web security; Why today's threats require that endpoint protection and mobile device protection activities be moved to the cloud; and how Webroot makes it easy to "close the circle" by managing endpoint protection.
Total Economic Impact Study of IBM Storwize V7000 by Forrester
IBM commissioned Forrester Consulting to examine the total economic impact and potential return on investment (ROI) that enterprises may realize by deploying Storwize V7000. This study illustrates the potential financial impact of using Storwize V7000 as a disk system and also to virtualize existing storage assets. The risk-adjusted ROI described in the study is 150% with a breakeven point (payback period) of only 15 months after deployment.
IBM Storwize V7000 vs EMC VNX5500 Storage Systems
This white paper focuses on Edison's Competitive Management Cost Study (CMCS) methodology for IBM Storwize V7000 and EMC VNX5500. The results of Edison's research show that administering the IBM Storwize V7000 system using its management interface is 34 percent less time-consuming in weighted workday savings and 31 percent less complex than managing an EMC VNX5500 system using the Unisphere software interface.
Build your scalable storage environment upon a dynamic IBM Storwize family foundation
The IBM Storwize family delivers sophisticated capabilities that are proven, efficient and dependable, in a wide range of storage systems designed to meet the differing needs of organizations, all built on a common platform. Shared technologies and common management features make the Storwize family the right system to meet today's needs and grow as your business grows.
IBM Storwize V7000 adds Real-time Compression
This ESG Analyst Paper is a Lab Validation Report for IBM Storwize V7000. The goal of this ESG Lab testing and report is to validate the enterprise class features and functionality of the V7000 including Real-time Compression, ease of use, non-disruptive virtualization, automated tiering, data mobility, copy services, unified SAN/NAS capability, Easy Tier and Active Cloud Engine.
Data Center Economic Tipping Point-Executive Edge
Flash technology is redefining the landscape of computing. Data storage has reached a tipping point with flash and will move rapidly to all-flash based systems for operational information. IBM flash storage provides extreme IOPs and low latency. When compared to disk technology, flash is superior in performance, cost efficiency, packaging, energy consumption and speed to deployment. Businesses can finally unleash the power of their most critical applications to make real time strategic decisions. It's time to create new applications with IBM flash storage. It's time for flash.
How to Improve Data Center Economics
In business timing is everything, especially for business-critical applications. Delays in delivering critical data and processing can significantly increase business and financial risks. IBM's new eBook FlashAhead discusses these challenges and offers up the all-flash storage system as a solution.
What to Look for in Enterprise Desktop Virtualization
Many enterprises are beginning to view desktop virtualization as a critical enabling technology for agility, mobility, security and a wide range of applications and use cases that will help to define their next-generation compute environments. Desktop virtualization gives IT organizations unprecedented control over the user experience throughout the enterprise, while at the same time simplifying many of the tasks and processes involved in supporting a wide range of workers using a variety of devices. With a successful desktop virtualization initiative, the IT department and workers across the organization can be far more productive and flexible.
But what does it take for an enterprise to successfully implement desktop virtualization, and what are some of the key features, functions, use cases and opportunities that are enabling companies to reap the many benefits of desktop virtualization? Read this whitepaper to understand some of the questions you may have.
