Storage
The benefits of SANs are obvious to most storage administrators. Studies typically find significant savings by choosing a SAN over conventional storage architecture. The savings come primarily from better utilization of storage hardware and fewer people needed to maintain and manage the storage system. In addition, the more flexible SAN architecture produced significantly higher availability rates. High-availability SAN systems typically experience less down time than standard DAS configurations. Additionally, SANs typically offer faster data access rates thereby increasing productivity.

Security
Two factor authentication can drastically reduce the incidence of online identity theft, and other online fraud. With two factor authentication passwords are no longer enough to give a thief access to information. Two factor authentication requires users to physically possess a token and have knowledge of a PIN or password in order to access company data. Using two factors as opposed to one delivers a higher level of authentication assurance.

Virtualization
Virtualization essentially lets one computer do the job of multiple computers, by sharing the resources of a single computer across multiple environments. Virtual servers and virtual desktops lets you host multiple operating systems and multiple applications locally and in remote locations, freeing you from physical and geographical limitations. In addition to energy savings and lower capital expenses due to more efficient use of your hardware resources, you get high availability of resources, better desktop management, increased security, and improved disaster recovery processes when you build a virtual infrastructure. In essence, virtualization lets you transform hardware into software. Use software such as VMware ESX to transform or "virtualize" the hardware resources of an x86-based computer - including the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller - to create a fully functional virtual machine that can run its own operating system and applications just like a "real" computer. Multiple virtual machines share hardware resources without interfering with each other so that you can safely run several operating systems and applications at the same time on a single computer. The VMware approach to virtualization inserts a think layer of software directly on the computer hardware or on a host operating system. This software layer creates virtual machines and contains a virtual machine monitor or "hypervisor" that allocates hardware resources dynamically and transparently so that multiple operating systems can run concurrently on a single physical computer without even knowing it. However, virtualizing a single physical computer is just the beginning. VMware offers a robust virtualization platform that can scale across hundreds of interconnected physical computers and storage devices to form an entire virtual infrastructure.

Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity/High Availability - A Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity/High Availability plan is essential in the event of a disaster that destroys part or all of a business's resources, including IT equipment, data records and the physical space of an organization. The goal of a DRP/BCP is to resume normal computing capabilities in as little time as possible. A typical DRP/BCP has several stages:
- understanding an organization's activities and how all of its resources are interconnected
- assessing an organization's vulnerability in all areas, including operating procedures, physical space and environment, data integrity and contingency planning
- understanding how all levels of the organization would be affected in the event of a disaster
- developing a short-term recovery plan
- developing a long-term recovery plan, including how to return to normal business operations and prioritizing the order of functions that are resumed
- testing and consistently maintaining and updating the plan as the business changes A key to a successful DRP is taking steps to preventing the likelihood of disasters from occurring, such as using a Disaster Recovery Site.

WAN Optimization
WAN Optimization products accelerate a broad range of applications accessed by distributed enterprise users via eliminating redundant transmissions, staging data in local caches, compressing and prioritizing data, and streamlining chatty protocols.

Data Archiving
Databases usually have two things in common. They have grown far larger than envisioned by their creators and they are filled with unneeded data. Many companies, therefore, are seeking to pare them down to the essentials and archive little used content. But what should you archive? How should you do it and what best practices apply?
To compound this problem, many enterprises are in the midst of compliance initiatives that require the retention of more data for longer periods of time, as well as consolidation projects that results in significant data growth.
Archiving itself can mean several things, depending on whom you're talking to. In general, however, it describes the process of consolidating and moving data from a primary online storage medium - such as a fiber channel disk array - to less-expensive near-line or (in some cases) off-line storage medium, In some cases - compliance, for example - archiving emphasizes data longevity and authenticity, especially for e-mails, instant message transcripts, documents, and other kinds of semi-structured or unstructured data.
