Learn how implementing a business continuity plan (BCP) can safeguard both your business and IT operations from major emergencies.
Learn what a computer's virtual memory is, how virtual memory works, and the difference between virtual memory and physical memory.
The most basic distinction is between types of computer memory is between primary memory - often called system memory - and secondary memory, which is more commonly called storage.
Despite the cloud now housing a significant amount of storage, disaster recovery sites remain a vital part of enterprise data storage requirements for many companies.
Direct attached storage is data storage that is connected directly to a computer, as opposed to storage that is connected to a computer over a network.
IDE, AHCI and RAID are operating modes in SATA environments, yet each have key advantages and disadvantages.
Whether hardware or software, RAID is available in different schemes, or RAID levels. The most commonly levels are RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. RAID 0, 1, and 5 work on both HDD and SSD media.
Nimble Storage and Tegile Systems have long been competitors in the data storage market. Take a look at these top vendors to learn the pros and cons of each.
Cloud disaster recovery is a backup and restore strategy that applies not only to data, but also entire virtual machines, servers and corporate networks.
PCIe provides a faster interface speed than SATA. An SSD connected via a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface can have a link speed of 16 Gb/s. In contrast the SATA 3.0 standard only provides 6.0 Gb/s.
Commvault and Veeam, active competitors in enterprise data backup and recovery, have differing approaches to factors like high availability and adding physical backup support.
SSD caching is a computing technology that stores frequently used data to fast cache. This boosts IOPS performance and reduces latency.
Business Impact Analysis is a core element of IT risk management identifying potential impact of data loss and helping to define maximum tolerable downtime.
SSD benefits are numerous: Flash is a driving force behind the rapid growth of enterprise data storage, and SSDs are the most popular media for NAND flash.
Nutanix focuses on enterprise data centers, but has expanded its market by adding ROBO, edge, and hybrid cloud support. HPE SimpliVity defines itself by hyperconverged simplicity, availability, and scalability at a lower cost.
SalvageData can handle many data recovery issues, but may not be the go-to vendor for extreme recoveries or when no one other provider can recover the data.
DriveSavers partners with many drive OEMs on data recovery. It has developed advanced techniques such as chip-off recoveries for flash devices and is skilled at recovering enterprise RAID arrays.
Disk Doctors, a well known name in data recovery, can recover data from damaged, corrupted, and dropped drives, and retrieve data from a variety of failed storage devices.
With its dominance of the HDD and SDD market, Seagate might be a major player in data recovery. Yet it seems to focus its marketing efforts more on its software-based services rather than its in-lab services.
WeRecoverData, with ISO 4 Class 10 and ISO 5 Class 100 clean rooms for its media recovery services, offers emergency response, on-site, remote and in-lab, and is available 24/7/365 and worldwide.
