People have the perception that backup is nothing more than just making a copy of your data. Andrew Martin, vice president for Asia Pacific with BakBone Software, argues that your backup strategy have to include other areas. He also explains that while backup is well known, many are still confused with new technology developments that flow from backup technology.
A clustered NAS is a NAS that is using a distributed file system running simultaneously on multiple servers. The key difference between a clustered and traditional NAS is the ability to distribute (e.g. stripe) data and metadata across the cluster nodes or storage devices. Clustered NAS, like a traditional one, still provides unified access to the files from any of the cluster nodes, unrelated to the actual location of the data. Kenny Chu, product marketing manager for HP StorageWorks, discusses some of the technical benefits of clustered NAS.
Last week, NetApp, Cisco and VMware jointly introduced a new design architecture for data centers – the industry’s first end-to-end secure multi-tenancy design. But what is the difference between this alliance and another that was announced just a couple of months ago?
Businesses are not immune to disk failure. Kroll Ontrack's Adrian Briscoe suggests that when purchasing a new server think about disaster recovery measures at the same time. Reliance on DVDs and tapes for long-term archive requires understanding the value of your information stored on drives.
Most organizations have some semblance of disaster recovery in place. The more prepared companies have a proper business continuity strategy. The most prevalent data protection strategy, however, only does point-in-time copies and therefore achieves near-real-time data protection. Andrew Martin, vice president for Asia Pacific with BakBone Software, explains how to achieve real-time data protection without breaking the bank.
