| 8. ON Magazine: With Virtualization, Expect the Unexpected | |
|
|
Network World Canada Editor Dave Webb recently interviewed EMC Canada´s Managing Director Michael Sharun about trends in the enterprise information infrastructure market. The two discussed EMC´s growing software business, the virtualization opportunities in Canada and how Canadian enterprises can cope with the explosion of digital data by relying on backup-to-disk technologies.
EMC recently unveiled enhancements to its EMC Velocity Partner Program that give EMC partners an opportunity to improve their profitability. A new Velocity Pre-sales Readiness Program helps partners better position themselves with their customers as a "trusted advisor" for EMC solutions, while the selection of a specialty designation within the EMC Velocity² Authorized Services Network (ASN) Specialty Program allows partners to develop deeper knowledge and expertise in a specific solution area.
Iomega Corporation, an EMC company, rolled out external hard drives that include EMC Retrospect Express Backup software for local backup and Mozy online service for remote backup, giving customers added assurance that their important information will be properly protected. 
Digital data is growing rapidly, forcing companies to look seriously at boosting their IP storage capabilities. No company is as well positioned as EMC to serve business’ information infrastructure needs. This white paper gives a brief description of why IP storage is important and outlines EMC’s end-to-end IP information infrastructure portfolio.
The latest issue of EMC´s ON Magazine includes an article that examines virtualization and some of the unexpected, but pleasant, surprises a customer experienced after deploying virtualization technology. Larry Liss, chief technology officer of law firm Blank Rome LLP, virtualized his servers to save space and energy, but found the technology also led to higher availability and faster application deployment.
