Backup And Recovery

Mid-sized businesses have long struggled to protect their IT systems. Many firms are inadequately protected and mistakenly think that a disaster is rare and won’t happen to them anytime soon. This custom Yankee Group Report uses customer interviews, statistical data and Yankee Group SMB survey results to examine disaster recovery (DR) issues.

IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager supports the alignment of IT and business with robust and automated application mapping and discovery that helps organizations understand the impact of change and meet compliance needs with detailed reporting and auditing.

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.

Advancements in technology and price reductions have recently made it possible to use disk together with tape to improve data protection. This white paper discusses the benefits of this technology.

Save time, money, and storage space with ShadowProtect® disk-based backup and disaster recovery software - backup everything and recover anywhere

This white paper provides: An objective approach to making decisions about data recovery technologies. (disk-based enhanced data recovery or traditional tape-based) The disk-based architectures for enhanced data recovery.

Discover for yourself how NetApp disk-to-disk backup with SnapVault® can increase the storage availability of a VMware® ESX environment.

By utilizing the speed and reliability of the EMC CLARiiON® AX150 networked storage system and the convenience of EMC Retrospect® 7.5 for Windows backup and recovery software, SMBs can implement fast, effective, reliable data protection that is easy to set up and manage without placing undue strain on IT resources.

Though power protection solutions vary in numerous ways, all but the largest data centers use basic approaches when deploying uninterruptible power systems (UPSs): Either they distribute many smaller UPSs among their server racks or they install one or two large UPSs centrally within or near their server room. This white paper outlines each architecure's pros and cons.

Clouds are all the rage right now. And the truth is that cloud-based computing can be a tremendous value. Cloud-based computing is not just an opportunity for a bunch of venture capitalists hanging out at Sand Hill Road, it's a wonderful chance for small and medium businesses to take a step toward aligning their information technology spend to increase their focus on revenue-generating opportunities.

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 purpose of deduplication is to provide more storage, particularly backup storage, for less money, right? Then wouldn't it be ridiculous if deduplication vendors were demanding that their customers pay more per terabyte of storage? Or if they were simply pushing the task of integrating, monitoring, and managing deduplication back onto their users?

See what happens if you neglect to protect your mission-critical applications and data, and learn what you can do to mitigate disaster.

Privilege Authority Professional is the lowest cost Windows privilege management solution that provides the core features IT administrators need to simply and quickly elevate and manage user rights.

Managing the security and uptime of a Windows network requires you to master your Active Directory, the brain and heart of the network, with maximum efficiency. Active Administrator makes it simpler and faster than native Windows tools to exceed compliance regulations, tighten security, increase productivity, and improve business continuity.

Active Administrator is an extensive Active Directory management solution that addresses the auditing, security, recovery and health of Active Directory from one integrated console. This centralizes the management of the most important aspects of Active Directory and Group Policy so that administrators save time and have the most control over their environment.

It simplifies and automates backup and restore processes across Windows and Linux environments, and remotely monitors and manages geographically distributed servers and workstations.

Based on Acronis' patented disk imaging and bare metal restore technologies, Acronis® Backup & RecoveryT 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition is the next generation of the Acronis True Image family of products, engineered specifically for virtualized environments. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition enables organizations of all sizes to extend the cost-saving benefits of virtualization by protecting virtual machines running on a single physical host for a low, fixed price.

This paper outlines the considerations for architecting an efficient SAN data storage infrastructure with a focus on the NetApp solutions for increased utilization, improved performance and streamlined protection to reduce operational costs.

In these days of rampant data growth, a technology that can increase the effective capacity of a disk-based backup system by a ratio of up to 50:1 is big news. Data deduplication allows you to store up to 50 times more backup data into the same disk footprint — giving you a better chance of restoring your users' lost data from exactly the point they need it. This white paper explains how this innovative data deduplication solution works and also establishes how a 50:1 deduplication ratio may be achieved.

Cloud computing has a lot of appeal, from auto-scaling to lower costs, and it's all just a few clicks away. Thus, the big question is not "why cloud?" but rather "how cloud?"

Great new features like VMware and Hyper-V backup, bare-metal disaster recovery and "no-hardware disaster recovery" all help conveniently keep your backups easily accessible and secure.

This online eBook provides insight and advice on how to build an effective disaster recovery strategy in the evolving world of virtual infrastructures, while mitigating the impact of so-called 'Black Swan' events in the datacenter.

As it has been the trend over the last decade, organizations must continue to deal with growing data storage requirements with the same or less resources. The growing adoption of storage-as-a-service, business intelligence, and big data results in ever more Service Level Agreements that are difficult to fulfill without IT administrators spending ever longer hours in the data center. Many organizations now expect their capital expense growth for storage to be unstoppable, and see operating expense levers - such as purchasing storage systems that are easy to manage - as the only way to control data storage-related costs.
