Storage Networking , Part 1 eBook: A storage network is any network that's designed to transport block-level storage protocols. But understanding the ins and outs of networked storage takes you deep into several of protocols. This guide covers SANs, Fibre Channels, Disk Arrays, Fabric, and IP Storage.
»Storage Networking 2, Configuration and Planning eBook: Picking up where Part 1 left off, Part 2 of our look at storage networking examines configurations for SAN-attached servers and disk arrays, and also includes a look at the future of IP storage.
»Storage Management Costs in the Enterprise: A Comparison of Mid-Range Array Solutions Whitepaper:
Many factors contribute to the ownership cost for enterprise storage. These include (but are not limited to): physical capacity relative to physical space requirements, performance capacity for data transfer and system reaction time, software maintenance and updates, expandability and flexibility, and much more.
»Storage Is Changing Fast Be Ready or Be Left Behind PDF: The storage landscape is headed for dramatic change, thanks to new technologies like Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), pNFS, object-based storage and SAS that will affect everything from NAS and SANs to disk drives. Get the knowledge you need to make the most of your storage environment, now and in the future.

CNET News.com: VA Linux programs for the future Aug 9, 1999, 16 :36 UTC (2 Talkback[s]) (3080 reads) (Other stories by Stephen Shankland)
"VA Linux Systems faces a tricky balancing act as the Linux operating system transforms from
a hobby to a tributary of corporate revenue streams."
"The company has a vested interest in the improvement of Linux, the open-source operating system
that comes with VA computers, and has hired several key programmers from the Linux community to
ensure continued development. But VA can't be too controlling, or else the open source community
that's the heart of Linux development will turn against VA, chief executive Larry Augustin says."
"VA will demonstrate some of the fruits of its work this week at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Jose, California. The
company will show new servers that can be stacked in dense configurations, new management software to make it easier to
administer dozens or hundreds of Linux computers, and perhaps most significantly, a version of Linux running on Intel's simulator
of its next-generation 64-bit chip, Merced."
