  Lab Report -- Symantec Enterprise Vault 10

  Symantec Enterprise Vault 10

  The "search engine" component of a purpose-built archive solution is frequently brushed over by vendors and customers alike because, although core to the benefits provided by an application, it is not as flashy as some of the other functions highlighted during the buying and selling processes. Most archive buyers view the application as a means of saving information rather than accessing it. But purpose-built archives are now relied upon by knowledge workers (retrieving old messages), attorneys (producing evidence), and compliance officers (fulfilling audit requests) for information access. Disrupting these processes is likely to have a substantial negative impact on the company in terms of productivity and risk.

  While search engines have to scale to meet more demanding access needs and bigger archives, they must fundamentally function properly in terms of producing accurate results, especially when organizations are using them within compliance and e-discovery processes. The balance between performance of a search engine and accuracy is critical for a maximum payback for any archive investment.

  With the release of Enterprise Vault 10 Symantec has delivered a 64-bit archive solution that aims to meet the performance requirements of large archive systems while also maintaining accurate data retrieval results. ESG Lab tested the query results of Enterprise Vault 9 with version 10 indexes to verify the accuracy of data retrievals when upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit indexes.

  Virtual Instruments VirtualWisdom: A Big Window into SAN Performance, Availability, and Utilization

  It's no surprise that server virtualization has had a significant impact on supporting infrastructure as IT organizations struggle to effectively manage, monitor, and scale resources to meet the needs of new, dynamic environments. Getting visibility into virtualized infrastructure remains a critical IT requirement. This ESG Lab Validation examines Virtual Instrument's VirtualWisdom product line and validates its ability to provide real-time, granular visibility of fibre channel traffic from virtual servers to storage within the data center.

  NEC ProgrammableFlow: Simple, Open, Scalable Networking

  Server virtualization puts increased pressure on network infrastructures. Due to the dynamic nature of provisioning servers in a virtualized world, IT administrators have a difficult time providing the right network access at the speed of virtualization. This problem is exacerbated as networks expand to accommodate private and public cloud infrastructures. This ESG Lab Validation examines the NEC ProgrammableFlow product line and validates its ability to fully virtualize networks in next generation data centers.

  NetApp V-Series Open Storage Controller: Highly Efficient and Flexible, Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization

  One thing is certain in the ever-changing landscape of IT: data volumes continue to grow, regardless of economic cycles. In many organizations, storage solutions that have been deployed to accommodate that growth have been deployed in an ad hoc fashion. Mergers and acquisitions have also contributed to this mix, creating infrastructure built upon multiple storage architectures. This blend of architectures can make managing storage needs a complex and costly process. Just as servers benefitted from virtualization, IT organizations can realize the same cost benefits from storage virtualization; in essence, hiding multiple separate storage controllers behind one centrally managed solution. ESG Lab conducted hands on testing of the NetApp V-Series Open Storage Controller with a focus on examining the storage efficiency, operational value, and performance achieved by the solution.
