Introduction to Data Protection: Backup to Tape, Disk and Beyond
Extending the enterprise backup paradigm 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, snapshot, replication and 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 storage efficient technologies like deduplication within these infrastructures.
Trends in Data Protection and Restoration Technologies Modern backup and archival technologies are used to augment established backup and data protection methodologies to deliver improved protection levels and accelerate information and application backup and restore performance. These technologies work in concert with the existing backup paradigm. This session will discuss many of these technologies in detail. Important considerations of data protection include performance, scale, regulatory compliance, recovery objectives and cost. Technologies covered include contemporary backup, disk-based backups, cloud-based backup, snapshot and mirroring, continuous data protection and compression and deduplication applied to both storage and networking traffic reduction.?

Rethinking Archiving: Exploring the path to improved IT efficiency and maximizing value of archiving solution investments The word Archiving often immediately brings to our mind an image of a passive, low-priority process of moving historical information to cold storage media. Traditionally, most organizations have used digital archiving software products mainly to ease the pain of staying compliant by automating the archiving process. While regulation and compliance is still a major driver for archiving, the state of today's archiving software technology, combined with improvements in ancillary technologies and alternate service delivery mechanisms (SaaS), has brought a plethora of useful applications to digital archiving. These new archiving use cases make investing in these technologies more rewarding than ever. In this presentation, analysts Marshall Amaldas and Brad Nisbet will share some of IDC's research pertaining to these emerging archive use cases, software delivery methods and user trends. Mr. Amaldas and Mr. Nisbet will also provide a high level overview of a decision framework by highlighting pros and cons of different approaches to archiving. --The word Archiving often immediately brings to our mind an image of a passive, low-priority process of moving historical information to cold storage media.

Advanced Data Reduction Concepts The two most prevalent forms of data reduction, compression and deduplication, have become increasingly widespread in many types and tiers of data storage. This tutorial assumes a basic understanding of compression and deduplication and covers advanced topics that attendees will find helpful in understanding today’s expanded applications of these technologies. Topics will include:
• Trends in vendor data reduction design Learning Objectives
Bringing Light to the "Digital Dark Age" - Preserving Digital Information for the Long Term Many organizations are facing the serious challenge of economically preserving and retaining access to a wide variety of digital content for dozens of years. Long-term digital information is vulnerable to issues that do not exist in a short-term or paper world, such as media and format obsolescence, bit-rot, and loss of metadata. Ironically, as the world becomes digital, we may be entering a "Digital Dark Age" in which business, public and personal assets are in ever greater danger of being lost. The SNIA Long Term Retention (LTR) Technical Working Group works with key stakeholders in the preservation field to develop a logical container definition called the Self-contained Information Retention Format (SIRF) that will enable applications to interpret stored data, independent of the application that originally created it. SIRF leads to easier and more efficient processes that address threats to the digital content at a lower level of the system stack and can be performed close to the data using more robust, efficient, and automatic methods. Easier, more efficient preservation processes in turn lead to more scalable and less costly preservation of digital content.
SIRF will be examined in a new European Union integrated research project, called ENSURE – Enabling kNowledge, Sustainability, Usability and Recovery for Economic Value. An overview of ENSURE will be provided, along with a review of a case study* from another presentation @ SNW. The presentation will cover use cases, requirements, and the proposed architecture for SIRF as well as its potential usage in ENSURE storage services and another case study*. * A separate Case Study presentation will be proposed for the Data Management Track under the Long-Term Retention area.
