Backup and archiving have changed over recent years partly riding on advances in technology. When do you perform backup and when to archive? What are the technical and operational considerations that need to be looked into for each. This paper looks at Simpana Software as a platform for achieving both.
This paper looks at Simpana as a platform for seamlessly extending local backup and archive to a new tier of cloud-based storage. Virtually unlimited storage capacity from our integrated cloud storage partners helps users dramatically reduce costs and operational complexity while improving long-term compliance.
The move to cloud computing is not easy, and its important to get it right the first time. Curtin University of Technology with the help of Optus Business, Alphawest, Cisco, EMC, and VMware, takes the first steps that will provide Curtin with an on-demand access to a fully virtualized private data center.
Asian sports associations looking to improve performance (winning gold medals) can take a leaf off the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA)'s book, when it comes to blending the best in both athletic and IT infrastructure.
