Another Look at File Virtualization

It is customary for many to consider file virtualization as its own discipline. But, in fact, file virtualization is actually a Hungarian goulash of supporting technologies, including mirroring, replication, disk images, point-in-time copying, data movement, archive, elements of hierarchical storage management (HSM) and data abstraction across all storage tiers.

Here's a tip for the integrators and VARs who follow Tips and Tricks. The rising popularity of iSCSI solutions in the technology market's "sweet spot," small to medium businesses, offers VARs and integrators an opportunity to expand their offerings in a sound technology direction.

Records Management or Retention Management

Content on servers has gotten out of control. Users at all levels of the enterprise create, send and store all types of different corporate content throughout a variety of systems within the organization — all of which is subject to legal discovery and regulatory requirements. The USA is a litigious country, and federal, state and local governments are not shy about cranking out new rules and regulations for the storing and availability of many kinds of information. Recently a series of new federal rules on discovery and retention were passed and will take effect this December.

Congratulations...you might be one of the few businesses around that is not burdened by a regulatory compliance duty. But if you think you are off the hook as far as thorough data protection is concerned, think again.
