Big Data Demands Big Changes to Legacy Backup

It is no surprise that backup related expenditures represent a major cost center for most data center environments. While denser disk and tape hardware architectures combined with technologies like compression and data deduplication have helped bring some reductions to the costs of backup hardware, there hasn’t been any corresponding relief in terms of how backup software is licensed.

Download this Storage Switzerland analyst report to learn more about how legacy backup software licensing schemes are placing an undue burden on data center environments trying to contend with the continuous onslaught of data growth and the new consumption based licensing models organization’s can switch to, to improve efficiencies, transparency and overall costs.

Linux and AIX Bare-Metal Recovery Webinar

When severe weather, a natural disaster, or any other catastrophe occurs, your first thoughts will not be about recovering and restoring your company’s critical data, which is why you want to be prepared for the unexpected. When it comes to preparing your business for catastrophe, your professional emergency kit should include a solid bare-metal restore and disaster recovery (DR) plan. Unlike AIX, Linux distributions do not come with a bare-metal recovery utility. In this webinar David Huffman, president/CEO of Storix, shares his knowledge on disaster recovery, and how to improve your existing strategies for better disaster preparedness.

Practical options for deploying IT equipment in small server rooms and branch offices

Small server rooms and branch offices are typically unorganized, unsecure, hot, unmonitored, and space constrained. These conditions can lead to system downtime or, at the very least, lead to “close calls” that get management’s attention. Practical experience with these problems reveals a short list of effective methods to improve the availability of IT operations within small server rooms and branch offices.

This paper discusses making realistic improvements to power, cooling, racks, physical security, monitoring, and lighting. The focus of this paper is on small server rooms and branch offices with up to 10kW of IT load.

The Next Great Disruptor to the Data Protection Status Quo

Is backup really like car insurance?

Imagine being responsible for paying only a very small “insurance premium” for backup/recovery protection. In other words, imagine a process similar to the old methods but significantly cheaper, i.e., paying a marginal amount of money to cover the data being backed up. If you later experience an event that results in the need for recovery, then you pay an additional deductible matched to the level of calamity you experienced.

Why should we pay so much for all the capacity that we back up, when what we really want to focus on is how much we will need to recover?
