Invitation to all eWEEK Storage Report Subscribers from Ziff Davis Media eSeminars
TOMORROW: November 4 @ 4 pm Eastern/1 pm Pacific Duration: 30 minutes When RAID Met SATA: A Reliable Relationship for Enterprise Storage Register to Attend: http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1333-4-6-176190-147564-1 The advent of a new generation of enterprise storage arrays built with SATA disk drives has precipitated a lot of discussion around SATA drive reliability. Even the latest enterprise-class SATA offerings are not considered as reliable as comparable SCSI and Fibre Channel drives. However, the reliability of a multi-disk storage array does not hinge on any one individual drive. Storage system reliability is achieved and optimized using a comprehensive approach, where all the components of the system work together to leverage key features designed to eliminate data loss. This eSeminar will discuss SATA reliability in the context of the total storage system and will identify the key elements of system reliability, including RAID, redundant design, hot-swappable components, sparing, load balancing, and other advanced features. Attendees will learn: * Reliability statistics for SATA and how they compare to SCSI and Fibre Channel drives * How RAID and SATA work together to ensure system reliability * The critical components of total system reliability * What to look for in a storage system that offers the highest levels of data availability Featured Speakers: Peter Hunter, Product Marketing Manager - EqualLogic Frank Derfler, VP, Market Experts Group - Ziff Davis Media Sponsored by EqualLogic Register to Attend: http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1333-4-6-176190-147564-1 We also invite you to view the recorded version of: Virtualization and Automation: Why Both are Required to Simplify Storage Management View On-Demand http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1333-4-6-176190-147567-1 Please visit: http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1333-4-6-176190-147570-1 for a complete list of upcoming Ziff Davis Media eSeminars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you have already registered for this eSeminar, please ignore this message.
