65 days ago by MicrosoftContinuous Data Protection (or CDP) has been used by large enterprises for some time for disaster recovery and to achieve the highest level of business continuity. CDP synchronizes tier 1 data between sites to ensure availability of the most critical enterprise applications. Until recently, CDP has been used only by the largest companies and only for their most critical data. Even though these enterprises would like to use CDP for lower priority tier 2 data - and Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) would love any type of CDP - it was simply cost-prohibitive.
68 days ago by Veeam SoftwareOne leverage Continuous Data Protection (CDP) to cost effectively protect VMware environments. The attendee will learn best practices for protecting, recovering, and rolling back virtual servers to any point in time - to make disaster recovery rapid, reliable, manageable, and affordable.
135 days ago by EMCTo resolve critical data-center cooling issues and provide more efficient disaster recovery, the College of Family Physicians of Canada deployed Windows Server 2008 R2 and tools such as Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007. As a result, the college has reduced its server footprint and cut data-center energy costs by about 65 percent. It has also sped backups by 50 percent and increased IT reliability, efficiency, and agility.
139 days ago by MicrosoftIn today's information age, protecting critical data of an organization's branch offices, across multiple locations, should be standard practice. Data protection is essential for business, legal, and regulatory compliance purposes. Very often, business-critical data at Remote Or Branch Office (ROBO) locations is inadequately protected, exposing the business to greater risk of lost data and lost productivity. The many choices in data protection technologies and approaches, coupled with a wide range of vendors to choose from, can make data protection planning a daunting endeavor.
139 days ago by Hewlett-Packard (HP)As a business owner or IT professional, one understands how crucial data is to the health of company. No matter what field one is in, today it is almost impossible to do business without having an Internet presence and an up-to-date website. Moreover, most businesses today, from the largest corporations with data sensitive systems to the smallest business operating with a single computer, store their most vital and irreplaceable business records electronically. Storing valuable files, applications, and email archives in-house may be costing one more money than one should be spending. And in most cases, storing data and building data protection solutions in-house may leave important data vulnerable to theft, malicious attacks, and in worst case scenarios data loss.
189 days ago by NaviSiteContinuous access to key business information is a critical requirement for both corporate headquarters and branch offices. But many companies have not adjusted to this reality, and continue to rely on tape backup to protect their branch offices. The tape backup and recovery processes are complex, labor intensive and prone to errors - especially when untrained branch employees are asked to execute them. In short, tape backup for branch offices is a costly and risky data protection strategy. New solutions that use real-time data replication software to automatically backup branch office data to a central server provide a simpler, more reliable and cost-effective way to protect branch offices.
