The Abstracts

Introduction to Data Protection Backup to Tape, Disk and Beyond
Jason Iehl
Trends in Data Protection and Restoration Technologies
Michael Fishman
Roger Cummings

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the challenges in the long-term preservation of digital information, and understand why best practices and optimal solutions must address different levels of available time, money and effort.
  • Identify the need, use cases, requirements, and proposed architecture of SIRF. Also, review the latest activities in SNIA LTR technical working group and the development of SIRF.
  • Discuss the usage of SIRF in the ENSURE cloud infrastructure that draws on actual commercial use cases from health care, clinical trials, and financial services.

Advanced Deduplication Concepts

Cloud computing, big data, mobility and the social media wave are just some of the drivers pushing storage growth to overwhelming rates. As information volumes explode, storage budgets remain flat and we’ve seen an increased need to implement primary data optimization technology. Primary data optimization has been discussed thoroughly in 2011, but adoption remains mixed as practitioners need to better understand how to exploit this technology, the risks of implementation, true costs and bottom line business benefits. While the concept seems simple, data optimization reduces overall costs by locating and eliminating duplicate data, it has yet to fully play out in the market.

Panelists will discuss the state of storage optimization, how technologies such as deduplication and compression are different, how they can work together to reduce the storage costs and footprint, and impacts on performance

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will leave the session with a clear understanding of the primary data optimization technologies available today.
  • Attendees will learn how different technologies can work in unison to drive immediate and long term cost savings.
  • Attendees will also learn how to avoid potential pitfalls of implementing primary storage optimization.
