Data Center Knowledge Courses:
Data Center Basics »
Learn how the data center has evolved from room-size computers to cloud computing, main elements that comprise a data center, how data centers are evolving in sync with data storage, and how design standards are being set for security and the environment.
Data Center Basics -
Building for High Capacity »
Learn what term 'high capacity' means within today's datacenter environment and how structuring servers using today's flexible RAID adapters can increase data storage capacity. Examples
include server structure with wasted capacity
compared to a server with efficient capacity usage, ways to increase capacity, and how to grow a datacenter as the volume of data storage increases.
Data Center Basics -
Building for High Performance »
Learn how all the 'moving parts' of a storage solution affect performance. In this module, we discuss the factors of data storage and how each of them works individually and in coordination (or compromise) with the others to affect performance.
Data Center Basics -
High Capacity Vs. High Performance »
Compare and contrast the
requirements of building a server for
capacity OR building a server for
performance.
