Storage analyst Deni Connor focuses on storage, application and infrastructure management in this twice-weekly newsletter.
EMC World happened last week in Las Vegas. At the show some 9,000 attendees heard EMC's visions for content management, virtualization and Web 2.0 storage.
EMC’s CEO Joe Tucci said by 2010 (just two years from now) solid state disk would reach price parity with Fibre Channel drives and eventually replace them.
Partner Brocade plans to integrate RSA technologies into its fabric-based encryption technology, allowing customers to provide encryption at the database, file server and storage layer.
EMC rolled out its application discovery and dependency mapping product - EMC Smarts Application Discovery Manager (ADM) 6.0. The new version supports VMware virtualized environments by passively ‘listening’ to application traffic across the VMware Virtual Switch (vSwitch).
The company also announced the EMC IT Compliance Analyzer - Application Edition 1.1, which facilitates IT compliance in VMware environments.
Finally, EMC introduced a variety of new backup products that include the EMC Disk Library 3D 1500 and 3000, the EMC Disk Library 4000, the Avamar Data Store Gen 2 and EMC Avamar 4.0 and NetWorker Fast Start.
The EMC Disk Library 3D 1500 and 3000 are backup to disk systems for midsized businesses that focus on policy-based data de-duplication and replication. The de-duplication capability is the result of an OEM agreement with Quantum.
The Disk Library 4000 is a virtual tape library (VTL) that now features de-duplication, disk drive spin down and high-capacity, low-power disk drives.
The Avamar Data Store Gen 2 and EMC Avamar 4.0 now also feature increased data de-duplication capacity and support for more applications.
The EMC NetWorker Fast Start is a new version of the NetWorker backup software designed for midsized business that reduces deployment times by as much as 75%.
Recently, this Storage Alert Newsletter gave the impression that the HP Database Archiving product was new. It has been on the market since 2006 and was first introduced as the HP Reference Information Manager for Databases.
Deni Connor is principal analyst for Storage Strategies NOW and host of both the Masters of Storage and Masters of Servers Solution Centers.
