Article 1: Protecting Business Data
Assets of an organization must be protected to ensure their long-term viability. However, intangible assets, such as business data, prove more difficult to protect than those that are tangible. There are well-established best practices for ensuring the integrity and reliability of business data. This first article summarizes some of these best practices, with an emphasis on understanding the business value of data, the cost of losing business data, the need for continuous protection of data, and the need for disaster recovery planning

These combine to have predictable adverse effects on business operations. This second article reveals how these adverse effects can be avoided with consolidated management and more efficient allocation of resources enabled by storage virtualization.
Article 3: Optimizing Storage Performance
The final article of this series provides guidance on optimizing a number of factors that determine the efficiency of storage management systems. Topics include improving I/O performance, manageability, reporting, and charge back services as well as addressing the specialized needs of some applications, such as databases and email systems. Readers will find a concise description of best practices for optimizing storage performance.
