Understanding Systems Management and Deployment Automation 2006-12-12 18:32:48 KACE

As your organization grows, systems management and provisioning isn't going to get any easier - if you follow traditional processes. The right tool can make implementing best practices much easier, but which methodology and features should you look for? Using an Appliance-based Delivery (AbSD) architecture, you can address the issues many mid-sized enterprises face in systems management such as hardware and software inventory, distributing software, patch management, scripting and security management, along with systems provisioning issues around disk imaging, installation, remote systems recovery and application slip streaming. Review this Flash demonstration of tools used to implement best practices for IT Automation.

Quilmes Industrial S.A. (Quinsa) Consolidates Systems and Reduces Maintenance Costs 2006-12-08 01:00:19 Oracle

Professional Services Security Success Story: Latin American Supermarket Chain 2006-11-29 01:00:19 Alcatel-Lucent

As part of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance and review process, a large Latin American Supermarket Chain was required to confirm its level of security from external attacks. It had no clear information regarding its external exposure to and threats from Internet-based attacks. Lucent performed an in-depth assessment to evaluate the Supermarket Chain's Internet-exposed infrastructure against the PCI Standards, and most specifically, the Site Data Protection standard. Availability, data integrity, privacy, confidentiality, authentication, and access control were identified as priority issues.

Banking on Backup 2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec

Many enterprises find their backup and recovery process strained. Data (particularly email-related data) is growing at exponential rates, and new challenges such as legal discovery and compliance must be addressed. To tackle these problems, IT and backup administrators should consider flexible, advanced data protection methods for faster backup and recovery. This paper looks at why organizations must constantly assess their data protection plans to bulletproof themselves against data disasters.

SCSI/SATA RAID Controller Replacement 2006-12-01 01:00:18 IT-PROBLEMS.EU

Have anyone run into a situation where the SCSI/SATA RAID controller stopped functioning and the only replacement is a different make or model? This paper shows how the authors recovered from this situation. They ran into this on a rather critical system since it was a Microsoft Windows 2003 Server running Microsoft Exchange 2003 and hosting a web site through IIS. Booting the system showed no controller in the POST messages and therefore no hard drives to boot from. The authors only reached certainty that the controller was the root of the problem when they put a new one into the system and attached the hot-plug drive cage to it. Immediately, they saw the boot process identify the drives and create a logical disk.

Continuous Disk-Based Windows Protection 2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec

Today's Windows-based organizations find themselves in a quandary. On the one hand, users require instant, on demand data recovery. On the other, industry estimates show data volumes continue to grow 40% to 50% per year. While traditional tape backup has proven effective over the years, today's business climate demands a more efficient approach to both backup and recovery. This paper looks at three data protection strategies and makes the case that Windows-based organizations can best manage data growth and speed data recovery by employing continuous disk-based protection.
