Whether you have tens of gigabytes or hundreds of terabytes, the Bacula system makes backups easy. Here's a hands-on primer.

In the last installment of our Parallel Platters series, Jeff Layton looks at the next generation of parallel file systems: Object Based File Systems.

Continuing the discussion of cluster-ready filesystems with an overview of traditional parallel file systems, which allow clusters to contact multiple storage devices directly rather than communicating with storage through a gateway. All you ever wanted to know about parallel file systems, and then some.

High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters are easier, and cheaper, than ever to put together. If you have an interest in pulling together your own cluster, or maybe you just want to understand more about cluster technology, it’s necessary to grok the differences between clusters and standard systems.

The Network File System is still commonly used to connect desktops to file shares and to interconnect compute nodes in high-performance clusters. By tuning NFS — using just a handful of parameters and measurements — you can help clients and servers run at peak performance. Here’s how.

Thanks to plug-and-play devices like PC cards, you can backup gigabytes of data onto a stamp-sized device or enable your laptop with diverse networking technologies.

Storage Area Networks never really realized the promise of providing a shared pool of storage. IBM's Storage Tank delivers on that promise - and more. Here's an exclusive, in-depth look at how Storage Tank works
