Hello etechnews today Welcome to this Tech Resources update from The Register
 | Risk management is not about absolutes or certainty; it’s about playing the odds. This principle is particularly relevant when it comes to securing end user computing activity. We have no shortage of solutions available to us in this area. Indeed looking at what’s available on the market, it’s clear that many options exist for tackling the same or similar requirements. The problem, however, is that none of them are 100% effective at what they are supposed to do. But even if they were, the complexity of the environment along with the dynamic nature of the problem means no single technology or service is ever going to be enough. Minimising your exposure is about mixing the right cocktail of solutions and approaches to achieve an ‘acceptable’ level of protection for your organisation and the situations that arise within it. In an attempt to understand what this translates to in practice, we conducted an online research study during June and July 2013 in which data was gathered from 977 IT and business professionals. In terms of scope, the questionnaire used was one of the broadest we have ever developed at Freeform Dynamics, and our thanks go out to all of those who had the patience to work through it. The exercise was well worth it, however, as we ended up with a good holistic view of the things that really matter. Download Now |
 | 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. Download Now |
 | For many organizations, NAS implementations are growing out of control and wreaking havoc for IT. The causes are many and varied. Applications leveraging NAS vary from virtual server and virtual desktop implementations to digital imaging, computer generated animation rendering, energy exploration, and financial modeling - not to mention the billions of users around the globe who continually create and consume unstructured data such as video, audio, and text files. In addition, because NAS devices are easy to set up and manage and don’t require esoteric storage knowledge, it is simple to add new devices for capacity or performance. Before you know it, your NAS infrastructure can become a costly and inefficient nightmare of multiple file systems across too many devices.

 | For decades, CPU manufacturers have innovated around increasing processing power and performance, while disk-drive manufacturers have focused on increasing capacity. These contrasting goals have created a utilization problem with today’s IT infrastructures. While flash storage is the answer from a performance perspective, it must be engineered and implemented correctly. One way to do this is by taking what was traditionally a consumer technology and transforming it into an enterprise solution. Fusion‐io delivers enterprise‐class flash memory technology, and has designed it into the first affordably priced shared storage system. While traditional vendors struggle to optimize flash performance, Fusion‐io has developed a solution that avoids bottlenecks and provides new performance management capabilities required to maximize the utilization of flash.

 | No longer just for early adopters and innovators, desktop virtualization has become a mainstream IT strategy for companies of all sizes. Still, many organizations remain leery, concerned about the perceived need to purchase, manage and maintain a costly and complex infrastructure. This view is increasingly out of date, however. Rapidly evolving technologies have made desktop virtualization much more affordable and allow greater flexibility in the ways companies can design and enable their virtualized desktop environment. Read this white paper to see how changing cost factors in every part of the desktop virtualization architecture make it more affordable than ever. Download Now |
