it - "data storage"

My Book Mirror Edition uses one drive for storing content from desktops and notebooks and the other for storing another copy for added protection.

'Nobody expects thieves to break into locked drawers'Providing proof, if it were needed, that every single piece of personal data in the UK has now been lost - probably several times over, by multiple corporations and government offices - news has just broken of another theft of laptops crammed with easily accessed info. This time the there-but-for-the-grace-of-god bonehead users were hospital staff at St George's hospital in Tooting..

Security researchers with Finjan software are seeing a growing thirst from cybercriminals for data other than credit-card numbers, with the latest findings including servers containing passwords leading to heath-care records and airline systems data.

VirtenSys has developed a PCI Express based I/O technology that virtualizes and shares off-the-shelf I/O adapters among multiple physical servers without the need for adapter, device driver, or server modifications. This technology is a critical capability that will accelerate adoption of the VirtenSys PCI Express I/O virtualization products. The cost effective VirtenSys products improve I/O utilization to greater than 80 percent; enhance throughput, and Reduce I/O cost and power consumption by as much as 50 percent. The products also simplify data center management by dynamically allocating, sharing, and migrating I/O resources among servers without physical re-configuration, resulting in reduced Operational Expenses (OpEx).

Depending on your perspective, SOA and virtualization are either synergistic or threaten increased complexity. This session will explain how implementing the right network architecture can make the most of both, promoting agility and reducing complexity. 'Service virtualization' takes functionality that is common across applications and generalizes and leverages it across the business. Capabilities like multicast, encryption, load balancing and data caching - traditionally applications on dedicated servers - have migrated into the network, where they can be virtualized and shared by multiple applications delivered to end users across multiple devices. Attendees will learn how the right network architecture can support strategies like Web 2.0 and SOA, and how the network can Reduce complexity and management costs, enhance system resiliency and flexibility, and improve usage and efficiency of networked assets and applications.

The collaboration will allow a version of Fusion-io's ioDrive NAND product to be plugged into HP server PCI Express slots to add as much as 640GB of flash storage capacity on a single card.

The Instinct, an iPhone-like device, goes on the market Friday at $129.99, with less storage than the $199 iPhone 3G and a number of other differences.

A report released Wednesday by Finjan reveals that its specialized information, not the usual credit-card-and-bank-account data, that's increasing in worth to cyberthieves and their ilk.

If SSD is seen by users as Tier Zero in a tiered storage strategy, then the biggest loser is tape because users don't really need another storage tier. They just need more performance.

While the next-generation data center has begun to take shape, the promise of true dynamic computing has so far eluded today's resource, bandwidth and power constrained enterprises. Now however, key advancements in network and processor technologies are converging to lift the remaining barriers and enable truly dynamic computing. In this presentation, IT professionals will learn why this convergence enables the Coherent network, turning an Enterprise data Center into a single dynamic resource pool of compute cores, memory, and I/O.
