Sanbolic Webinar: StorAgility™ – What Is It and How Do I Achieve It?
This webinar introduces the concept of "StorAgility" - agile, flexible, robust storage capable of meeting unabated data growth and ever-changing workload demands in physical, virtual and cloud (on- and off-premise) environments.  It further explains how StorAgility can be achieved by using Sanbolic's Melio™ data management platform.  By leveraging Melio's unique features and extensive capabilities, organizations can introduce StorAgility into their IT infrastructures in order to enable data consolidation and protection, while enhancing the availability and scalability of their business-critical applications.  Attendees will learn how to effectively utilize server-side storage to create flexible, highly available pools of shared storage (the key ingredient of StorAgility) that reduce both data management and storage-related costs, while improving the operational efficiency of the applications driving their organization's productivity and profitability.  If you've never heard of "StorAgility," attend this webinar to learn what it's all about and how Sanbolic is helping organizations achieve it!

Sanbolic Webinar: Simplify Your Approach to Managing Highly Available SQL Server Clusters
The challenge with Microsoft SQL Server high availability (HA) solutions is that current approaches to clustering are overly complex, requiring coordination across disparate layers of applications, data and storage infrastructure.  However, by consolidating the storage layer up into a centralized data management platform, Melio can bridge the lack of coordination between the virtualized server instances and the back-end data store. Managed from within a single framework, the resulting infrastructure is more centralized and flexible, allowing for greater levels of server and storage consolidation and increased performance and SQL Server high availability.  In this webinar, learn how Melio eliminates the complexity of storage management in highly available clustered SQL Server deployments by providing active-active access to a pool of shared storage resources, thus simplifying the task of efficiently storing and protecting data, while providing features like database-level QoS to manage performance. In addition, learn how Melio allows SQL Server instances to be clustered for consolidation and high availability, regardless of the edition of SQL Server or the Windows Server OS being used.

Sanbolic Webinar: Installing and Creating Scalable, Highly Available Shared Storage for Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS)
This webinar will walk attendees through the installation of Sanbolic's Melio data management software, and the creation of highly available (HA) and scalable shared storage that enables and extends the capabilities of Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS).  Attendees will learn how with Melio shared storage hosting XenApp and XenDesktop image files (vDisks), administrators can create, manage, deliver and maintain vDisks for HA and load balancing, without the challenges typically introduced by other storage options such as replication, files shares or proprietary hardware-based file serving appliances.  How to achieve additional benefits, such as reliable vDisk protection, improved desktop and server performance, and dynamic infrastructure scale to support environments comprised of hundreds of XenApp Servers and thousands of XenDesktops, will also be explained.  If you are about to begin a XenApp or XenDesktop pilot, or are moving from pilot to production, this is a webinar you don't want to miss!
