  • This document describes the configuration of Silver Peak Velocity appliances for Dell Compellent Remote Instant Replay deployments using iSCSI over Ethernet. For this deployment, the Silver Peak Velocity appliance will act as the next-hop for the Remote Instant Replay traffic. The iSCSI adapter(s) used for replication on the Compellent arrays will use the Velocity appliance as the default gateway. The Velocity appliance will optimize the Remote Instant Replay traffic and then forward it across the WAN to the remote site.

  • Application virtualization (for example, Citrix XenApp) and Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (for example, Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Desktop Virtualization, and VMware VDI) deliver enormous management and costs savings throughout an enterprise. However, the benefits of virtualization can easily be lost if application performance hampers end user productivity, as often happens when virtual applications and desktops are delivered across a Wide Area Network (WAN)

  • Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series virtualized iSCSI Storage Area Networks (SANs) leverage numerous benefits inherent in the standard iSCSI protocol, including its high ease-of-use, low networking infrastructure costs and low total cost of ownership (TCO). When layered on top of TCP/IP, iSCSI storage can use IP-based Wide Area Networks (WANs) as the foundation for consolidating backup processes and enabling disaster recovery. The PS Series Auto-Replication feature — standard with all PS Series arrays, no additional activation fees or licenses — can leverage enterprise WANs to cost-effectively replicate data between geographically distributed sites.

  • Most major enterprises have Voice over IP (VoIP) projects either under way, or in the testing and evaluation stage. According to a recent ComputerWorld survey, VoIP deployments will grow faster in the next 18 months than any other category of enterprise applications, with a full 16% of enterprises planning to implement VoIP in that time period.
