The Abstracts
Introduction to Data Protection: Backup to Tape, Disk and Beyond Extending the enterprise backup paradigm with disk-based technologies allow users to significantly shrink or eliminate the backup time window. This tutorial focuses on various methodologies that can deliver an efficient and cost effective disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) solution. This includes approaches to storage pooling inside of modern backup applications, using disk and file systems within these pools, as well as how and when to utilize virtual tape libraries (VTL) within these infrastructures. Learning Objectives:
Trends in Data Protection and Restoration Technologies Many disk technologies, both old and new, are being used to augment tried and true backup methodologies to deliver better information and application restoration performance. These technologies work in parallel to the existing backup paradigm, either synergistically or completely orthogonally. This session will discuss many of these technologies in detail, including snapshots, full-copy snapshots (mirror-splits), small aperture snapshots (SAS), Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL), as well as continuous data protection (CDP) in its various forms. Detail about how these technologies operate will be provided as well as best practices recommendations for deployment in today's heterogeneous data centers. Learning Objectives:
Deduplication - Methods for Achieving data Efficiency Deduplication has become a very popular topic in the industry because of the potentially large reduction in cost and increase in efficiency it offers. Deduplication technologies are being promoted at various points within the storage network including source deduplication, deduplication of data in transit, and deduplication at the storage destination. Deduplication technologies are also being promoted in all tiers: backup, archiving, and primary storage. Each of these storage use cases represents a unique set of challenges. Implementing any deduplication technology has major implications for scale, performance, and functionality. Deduplication also has long term legal and compliance implications for records management. This session will review various deduplication technologies available and the implications of each. Learning Objectives
How NAS Systems Participate in Data Protection Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems are able to use their awareness of file structures to take a more proactive part in protecting data against faults and disasters than is possible with disk arrays. This session will survey common techniques for protecting data against hardware and software failures, accidental or deliberate corruption, and disasters that incapacitate entire data centers, and show how NAS systems are able to participate actively in all forms of protection. Backup, snapshots, continuous and periodic replication, and continuous data protection will be discussed. For each technique, the threats it covers, the costs of using it, and expected recovery times and recovery points will be pointed out. The goal of the session is to give students an appreciation for the high availability and disaster protection options available for data stored in NAS systems, to better equip them to make informed decisions when purchasing equipment or defining operating procedures.

A Crash Course in Wide Area Data Replication Replicating data over a WAN sounds pretty straight forward, but it turns out that there are literally dozens of different approaches, each with it's own pros and cons. Which approach is the best? Well, that depends on a wide variety of factors! This tutorial is a fast-paced crash course in the various ways in which data can be replicated and the pros and cons of each major approach. We trace the data path from applications to disk drives and examine all of the points along the way wherein replication logic can be inserted. We look at host based replication (application, database, file system, volume level, and hybrids), SAN replication (disk arrays, virtualization appliances, caching appliances, and storage switches), and backup system replication (block level incremental backup, CDP, and de-duplication).

Records Managers and Storage Managers Speak: Get the Real Story Behind ILM This session features a panel of records managers from ARMA and storage managers from the SNIA End User Council. They discuss the differences of between their roles, offer their perspective on issues like Sarbanes-Oxley and eDiscovery, take questions, and show how, together, both groups can improve the digital records management process.Comments from last session (Spring 2008):“Could have gone on longer.”“Excellent panel.Do more like these.”“Need to have this again!Excellent!”“This was great - I hadn't thought to engage RIM on these subjects, but will now!” Learning Objectives
Classification: The Cornerstone for Compliance and Cost-driven Information Management Without a clear understanding of all the information under management in your environment, it is impossible to get a handle on information growth, compliance-related risk mitigation and information management costs.The practice of information classification is fundamental to an effective information-centric ILM strategy.Information classification requires that I.T. administrators work with Line-of-Business and knowledge workers to gain an understanding of the data to be managed.Once a clear set of goals and policies are established you can efficiently organize your information into tiers of service that will meet the performance, protection, and compliance requirements of your business. Learning Objective
Retaining Information for 100 Years Learning Objectives
Compliant Storage: The Risks of Retention and Deletion in the Face of FRCP The new amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures, FRCP, have changed the face of the business risk of retaining information in an uncontrolled manner. eDiscovery requirements to produce legally and forensically authentic information impact IT and storage operations in ways you may have never considered. This presentation will update you on current requirements and best practices and how they affect the management of your storage resources and information assets. Learning Objectives
The Secret Sauce of ILM Professional Services and internal consulting figure prominently in the success of ILM transformations. Yet, few storage professionals have the blend of techno/business skill, architect-client relations and skills at selecting the appropriate methodology. Learning Objectives
