Edison analysts put the management software of an HP EVA system through a series of typical day-to-day storage management tasks. The same tasks were also evaluated on similar systems from NetApp and EMC. This study demonstrates how the superior user interface and virtualization offered by the HP EVA storage system can provide organizations with the benefits of higher administrative efficiency combined with the potential ability to utilize less expensive human resources.

When I am dead, I hope it is said,
'His sins were scarlet, but his books were read'. -Hilaire Belloc
This week we're taking a look at books that deserve a place on your administrator's bookshelf.
As I said in the teaser at the end of the last issue, today, we're discussing a book that I think you should have but one that I hope you'll never really need.
Brian Carrier's "File System Forensic Analysis" (from publisher Addison-Wesley) is an indispensable tool for the digital investigator and trouble-shooter.
In today's enterprise, regulatory compliance is a driving force in IT budgets. The organization needs to comply with laws that require knowing who, what, where, when and why corporate assets (and personal data) are accessed. Indeed, in many cases the requirement is knowing who might have been able to access a resource, not necessarily who did access it.
When it comes time to prove who did (or didn't) access data and who did (or didn't) have the ability to access data then file system forensics is the tool you might need.
Author Carrier, a well-known writer and speaker on this topic, is a research assistant at the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS) at Purdue University. He introduces us to the concepts in the book by saying "Most digital evidence is stored within the computer's file system, but understanding how file systems work is one of the most technically challenging concepts for a digital investigator because there exists little documentation." This book provides it.
Carrier begins with an overview of investigation and computer foundations and then gives a comprehensive and illustrated overview of contemporary volume and file systems - the information needed to discover hidden evidence, recover deleted data, and validate your tools. Along the way, he describes data structures, analyzes example disk images, provides advanced investigation scenarios, and introduces valuable open source file system analysis tools -including ones he personally developed: The Sleuth Kit and Autopsy Forensic Browser (sounds like something the folks on TV's CSI would use!).
