Storage Networking , Part 1 eBook: A storage network is any network that's designed to transport block-level storage protocols. But understanding the ins and outs of networked storage takes you deep into several of protocols. This guide covers SANs, Fibre Channels, Disk Arrays, Fabric, and IP Storage.
»Storage Networking 2, Configuration and Planning eBook: Picking up where Part 1 left off, Part 2 of our look at storage networking examines configurations for SAN-attached servers and disk arrays, and also includes a look at the future of IP storage.
»Storage Management Costs in the Enterprise: A Comparison of Mid-Range Array Solutions Whitepaper:
Many factors contribute to the ownership cost for enterprise storage. These include (but are not limited to): physical capacity relative to physical space requirements, performance capacity for data transfer and system reaction time, software maintenance and updates, expandability and flexibility, and much more.
»Storage Is Changing Fast Be Ready or Be Left Behind PDF: The storage landscape is headed for dramatic change, thanks to new technologies like Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), pNFS, object-based storage and SAS that will affect everything from NAS and SANs to disk drives. Get the knowledge you need to make the most of your storage environment, now and in the future.

:The Register: Nvidia selected for Linux based X-Box rival
The Register: Nvidia selected for Linux based X-Box rival May 12, 2000, 13 :00 UTC (2 Talkback[s]) (4141 reads) (Other stories by Tony Smith)
"What's good enough for Microsoft is good enough for Linux, if Indrema's decision to base its own
games console on Nvidia's GeForce - just like Microsoft's X-Box - is anything to go by."
"Little-known Indrema was formed earlier this year, and is apparently hard at work on its L600
Entertainment System, a slim-line vertical - shades of PlayStation 2 there - Linux-based games
console-cum-Net access device-cum-MP3 player. It's based on a 600MHz CPU of unknown
provenance and bundles 100Mbps Ethernet for ADSL connections."
"Curiously, Indrema doesn't say which Nvidia processor it's going to use - but it will be a "future
generation" one, at any rate. To be fair, the company isn't expecting to ship for some time -
pre-production models aren't due to appear until "late summer 2000". By the time the L600 ships,
Nvidia should be offering - based on its own six-month roll-out schedule - the GeForce 3. The L600's
graphics engine will be built onto a daughtercard, allowing newer, more powerful 3D chips to be added
later."
