Backing up Big Data

The recent interest in harvesting value from big data is now rearing its head in the traditional data center operation, specifically, within the backup and recovery environment. This is a logical conclusion, as backup is the one location in every major organization’s data center where at least one copy of what is considered important is stored and cataloged for future protection and use.

IT is not only being asked to “protect everything forever” (many IT organizations have been dealing with this issue for decades), but now there is a mandate to “protect everything from everywhere,” as we move into the era of big data management and the adoption of BYOD.

Implementing global e-invoicing with guaranteed legal certainty

Globalization has spurned tremendous opportunities and challenges. It is no surprise Steve Jobs chose Tim Cook to succeed him in leading Apple. Tim Cook built Apple’s supply chain into what became one of the company’s greatest strategic advantages. Brands like Johnson and Johnson, ABB, Dell and Microsoft to name a few all view supply chain management as nothing less than vital to their ability to innovate and dominate global markets.

Successful supply chain management requires automation. Successful automation requires addressing what we believe is the last mile of global electronic invoicing: local tax compliance. This white paper explains the role local tax compliance plays in successful supply chain management and e-business initiatives more broadly and how leading global brands and governments are addressing this need.

How to Measure the ROI of Cloud Data Protection

The goal of server backup and recovery is to ensure that a company can recover from varying degrees of failure, from the loss of individual files to a disaster affecting an entire system. Success is measured by how quickly the company can recover (Recovery Time Objective or RTO), as well as by how small the loss of worker productivity is (Recovery Point Objective or RPO).

Cloud backup and recovery services for servers enable small- to mid-sized companies, and remote offices of larger companies, to reliably meet their RTOs and RPOs. They help protect critical server data at a lower cost than traditional tape systems that require onsite IT professionals to operate and maintain them.

This white paper helps managers demonstrate the profitability of reducing operational costs in server backup and recovery through investment in cloud server data protection (subscription), rather than traditional backup methods. Comparative cost categories used in calculating this ROI are summarized in a convenient checklist. These include capital costs of hardware and software as well as ongoing monthly costs for maintenance, media, labor, and offsite storage of backup data.

The Essential Guide to IT Transformation

Enterprises are transforming IT by adopting service automation tools and processes, making teams more innovative and efficient. By consolidating fragmented and redundant service systems, standardizing operational processes and by creating a single system of record for IT, CIOs can shift their attention from maintenance to service, effectively changing enterprise IT.

BYOD's dark side: Data protection

Endpoint protection by enterprise IT is no longer an option. There is too much risk for data loss and leakage. Maintaining productivity is also critical, the time it takes to re-create data, rebuild laptops from scratch and migrate to new OS versions can all be avoided with the proper investment in an endpoint data protection solution.

IT can no longer sit on the sidelines hoping that users “do the right thing” with an organization’s data. Doing so leads to a variety of problems including loss of data control. IT needs an endpoint data protection solution that adds value to the users, so they will embrace it. It should also add value to the organization so it can protect itself from data loss as well as leverage corporate data on user endpoints. Finally an endpoint protection strategy should bring value to IT itself so its job can be completed easier and more efficiently. HP’s Connected Backup is an excellent example of solutions that can do just that.
