Trends in Data Protection and Restoration Technologies (2010) | SNIA

Abstract

Many disk technologies, both old and new, are being used to augment tried and true backup and data protection methodologies to deliver better information and application restoration performance. These technologies work in parallel 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 include contemporary backup, disk-based backups, snapshots, continuous data protection and capacity optimized storage (deduplication).

Learning Objectives
