It is easy to get advice (often from vendors who want to sell you their semi-magic fix for all that ails you) on what you should be doing. But actually protecting your corporate or personal data turns out to be hard in the real world. Take a look at the Identity Theft Resource Center's report on what happened last year to see.

Ellen Messmer 2009-01-12T08:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/techexec/2009/011209techexec1.html The SANS Institute wants to know how you use your log management tools. Take the fifth annual Log Management Survey, which provides feedback to vendors on how to improve their products and services. Linda Musthaler 2009-01-12T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2008/072808-test-iscsi-sans-how.html We tested iSCSI servers by installing and configuring them, putting them through a series of typical tasks, and running performance tests. Joel Snyder 2008-07-28T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2008/072808-test-iscsi-sans-compellent.html What stood out most about the StorageCenter in our testing was its manageability. Compellent has the best management console of any of the systems we tested, providing more control, configuration visualization, and monitoring capabilities than its competitors.

Our testing of the Dell PS5000XV shows that Equallogic was a first-rate choice.

As a software company first, and a hardware company second, FalconStor has pulled together the hardware in the NSS-S12 to offer a unified solution for enterprises that don't want to roll their own hardware. Joel Snyder 2008-07-28T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2008/072808-test-iscsi-sans-hp.html The HP StorageWorks 2012i is a 2U system with 12 drive bays that can house either SATA or SAS drives. Ours came half of each type of drives, an attractive feature for someone who wants a storage-area network but doesn't need or have the room for more than a dozen drives in total. In the rear of the box sit redundant hot-swappable controllers, and hot-swappable power supplies.
