Network Computing Analytics: Data Center Power Issues Tech Report
"Increasing requirements for processor cycles, memory and storage as well as higher electricity demands mean your data center is consuming more power - which means you're spending more - every day. Network Computing tech analyst Ron Anderson investigates and explains how to design a modular data center that will future-proof your investment."

Data Center Central: News on Blade Storage
"Blades are having an impact on the data center in more ways than one. The tighter, denser servers draw more power for both processing and cooling operations, which is a serious concern in itself. But each blade also requires some place to store data, which adds to the burden of the data center, in terms of power, space and capital expenditures. So it’s refreshing to see a number of new storage blade architectures hit the market, which should hopefully bring processing and storage requirements more in line."

CXOtoday.com: Higher Data Density: Is Holography The Solution?
"Holographic storage is a departure from all existing recording methods because it takes advantage of volumetric efficiencies rather than only recording on the surface of the material. InPhase will deliver the first holographic drive and media later this year. The first generation drive has a capacity of 300 gigabytes on a single disk with a 20 megabyte per second transfer rate. The first product will be followed by a family ranging from 800GB to 1.6 terabyte (TB) capacity."

SearchNetworking.com: Defending an expansive definition of NAC
"There is a good bit of controversy these days about what constitutes a "complete" network access control (NAC) solution. The original vision of NAC (e.g., host-posture checking, quarantine and remediation) has been expanding considerably. Network architecture and network operations managers are no doubt beginning to wonder if the term has become so misused as to lose any real meaning."
