Read this IDC white paper to understand the various approaches to solving today's backup and recovery challenges leveraging deduplication. The paper discusses how to dramatically improve IT economics by optimizing network bandwidth, backup windows, and storage footprint requirements in distributed and datacenter locations alike.

How the Vertica Analytic Database is powering the new wave of commercial software, SaaS and appliance-based applications and creating new value and competitive differentiation for solution developers and their customers.

This report examines the impact that virtualization has on data protection and disaster recovery and the need for highly virtualized servers and storage within this context.

Countless studies and analyst recommendations suggest the value of improving security during the software development life cycle rather than trying to address vulnerabilities in software discovered after widespread adoption and deployment. The justification is clear.For software vendors, costs are incurred both directly and indirectly from security flaws found in their products. Reassigning development resources to create and distribute patches can often cost software vendors millions of dollars, while successful exploits of a single vulnerability have in some cases caused billions of dollars in losses to businesses worldwide. Vendors blamed for vulnerabilities in their product's source code face losses in credibility, brand image, and competitive advantage.

Today, when you make decisions about information technology (IT) security priorities, you must often strike a careful balance between business risk, impact, and likelihood of incidents, and the costs of prevention or cleanup. Historically, the most well-understood variable in this equation was the methods that hackers used to disrupt or invade the system.

Backup, despite the breathless hyperbole of many in the industry, is simply a form of insurance. What's important about your backup strategy is getting your systems and data protected in the most effective and affordable manner possible. Speaking plainly - you must be careful that you are in control of your backup strategy rather than your backup strategy (and vendor) being in control of you.

The newest edition of this unique report is filled with survey findings from over 4,000 individuals responsible for the resilience and protection of AIX and IBM i (i5/OS) environments.

In the Illuminata CDP Paper, you'll see how the IBM Comprehensive Data Protection Express solution can help keep your business running. Discover diverse components and services, like Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack and System x servers, that fit your needs.

Listen to the recording, "CDPS Analyst Interview with John Webster of Illuminata," to see how the IBM Comprehensive Data Protection Express solution addresses the needs of midmarket companies that don't have adequate backup and recovery capabilities for their critical data.

In the IBM white paper, "Achieving end-to-end information security: Five critical steps," you'll learn a more sophisticated approach to information security.

The purpose of this white paper is to provide an overview of next-generation data protection and recovery options that are designed and priced specifically for small and midsized businesses (SMBs).

The Austin Diagnostic Clinic recovers critical data in less than an hour with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack software. ADC reduced backup window for electronic medical records from two hours to five minutes; were able to restore many services in under an hour; reduced time and cost of server consolidation initiative and achieved up to 75% reduction in testing times.

This webcast will provide an overview of a very effective technology called Continuous Data Protection (CDP) also called continuous backup or real-time backup. CDP offers a valuable disk-based technology that enables a business to recover data to any point-in-time quickly and easily.
