Disk-Based Backup Does Not Magically Break The Corporate LAN Bottleneck
10/22/2009
It's easy for organizations to believe that disk will solve their backup problems. But some organizations are starting to discover that while disk solved some of their backup problems, they are still not realizing the full reductions in backup times and improved performance rates on their application servers that they may have initially expected. If an organization finds itself in this predicament, then it probably behooves them to take a closer look at their backup architecture and determine exactly how much backup traffic is going across their corporate LAN.

ILM: What's Old Is New Again
10/21/2009
I'm going out on a limb here to say it's time to bring back ILM (Information Lifecycle Management). After all, the idea of managing data throughout its lifecycle continues to make a great deal of sense, especially now that companies everywhere are going through massive IT transformations driven by recently tight economy and the increasing need to gain better control of escalating data.

Enabling Cloud Storage For The Enterprise
10/6/2009
As companies rapidly develop new technologies and practices to deliver on the promise of “the cloud,” the infrastructure surrounding the cloud architecture needs to evolve quickly to provide options for service and support. Many of the gaps in this infrastructure that have inhibited storage-as-a-service concepts from gaining traction are now being filled by more robust, creative solutions. By Michael Tomky and M.

An Automated Disaster Recovery Solution Is The Lynchpin To A Viable Business Continuity Plan
9/25/2009
"Business Continuity" and "Disaster Recovery" are two aspects of IT and business planning and process management that no organization can afford to get wrong. So it is somewhat disconcerting that a recent article reports that the majority of businesses do not yet have a disaster recovery plan or business continuity process in place or, if they do, they do not regularly test it. But of greater concern is that many users still fail to understand the differences between business continuity and disaster recovery and how these processes should be individually implemented and managed.
