Storage

According to the Global Data Protection Index Survey, more than 51% of the organizations are not fully confident their data stored in the cloud is protected against deletion and corruption.

Storing backup data in the cloud may also generate multiple hidden fees as well as raise concerns regarding service levels, availability, and control.

Join our webinar to learn how Dell EMC is helping organizations to build a cost-effective data protection strategy for the cloud environments, including:
· Highly efficient and secure backups to and within the cloud
· Cost-effective data protection of enterprise applications running on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure
· Natively tiered de-duplicated data sent directly to the cloud platforms, providing significantly lower TCO

Understanding the customers’ business model and reaching a healthy consensus between the push of technology (e.g., IoT and 5G) is required in data center design and planning to meet the demand for ubiquitous coverage and the demand of data anytime, anywhere. This presentation will provide an overview of data center design, the changes in the upcoming revision of ANSI/TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers, and review use cases in the implementation of ANSI/TIA-942.

About TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems Committee:
The TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems Committee develops and maintains voluntary telecommunications standards for telecommunications cabling infrastructure in user-owned buildings, such as commercial buildings, residential buildings, homes, data centers and industrial buildings. The generic cabling topologies, design, distances and outlet configurations as well as specifics for these locations are addressed.

The ANSI/TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers is developed by the TR-42.1 Generic and Premises Cabling Subcommittee. TR-42.1 develops and maintains cabling standards for generic customer-owned telecommunications networks. These standards are intended to specify open systems designed to support a wide variety of voice, data, video, and other low voltage, power-limited applications. TR-42.1 also develops and maintains telecommunications cabling standards for premises networks such as commercial buildings, data centers, building automation, etc. This Subcommittee specifies cabling system topology, architecture, design, installation, testing and performance requirements.

Protecting against the loss of critical data should be one of the highest priorities of business and IT leaders today. Losing even small amounts of such data due to a network outage, systems failure, security breach, natural disaster or some other cause can result in significant damage for companies.
This second edition of our Security and Privacy webinar series will discuss how to safeguard your data and business-critical applications across the enterprise and hybrid cloud. You’ll learn how to quickly recover from outages, maintain the availability of critical applications, and securely back up data to any cloud. Discover how to achieve near-instant recovery from failures with zero data loss.

With the advent of Software, Platform, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service offerings in the public cloud, many enterprise IT organizations have a mandate to leverage the public cloud to deliver applications and services. Meanwhile, organizations with petabytes-scale rich content depots are finding moving persistent data storage wholesale to the public cloud is more expensive in the long run. IT has an opportunity to add value by delivering a catalog of standard, S3- and Swift-compatible, object storage services at a cost, quality, and speed comparable to the best external cloud providers.  To address this, IT organizations are turning to the Hybrid Cloud to streamline and automate management of their rich content data at scale.

In this webinar customers will learn how to evolve to succeed in the data-powered digital era utilizing flexible deployment options, multi-tenant global namespaces, automated data policies, and ease of configuration— all powered by NetApp StorageGRID Webscale software and Intel X86 servers.

dramatically increase reliability and security of file transfers, send large files in minutes, increase searchability and reduce storage TCO by 75% with FileCatalyst and Caringo Swarm.

As part of the successful “Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage But Were Too Proud To Ask” series, we’ve discussed numerous topics about storage devices, protocols, and networks. As we examine some of these topics further, we begin to tease out some subtle nuances; subtle, yet important nevertheless.

In Part Sepia, we’re going to take a look at some of the terms and concepts that affect Storage Architectures as a whole. In particular, we’ll be looking at those aspects that can help or hinder storage systems inside the network:

•Encapsulation versus Tunneling
•IOPS vs Latency vs Jitter
•Quality of Service (QoS)

Each of these topics has a profound impact on storage designs and performance, but they are often misunderstood. We’re going to help you become clear on all of these very important storage concepts so that you can grok storage just a little bit more.

Cloud apps are being pulled into the enterprise hand-over-fist, with 93% of organizations using cloud-based IT services. But the efficiencies and convenience offered by cloud apps come at a price. While organizations have long been applying two-factor authentication to their network, VPN and email portals, they have failed to extend that same level of security to cloud-based applications, such as Office 365, AWS and Salesforce.

But the need for stronger cloud access security is only part of the story. Businesses looking to scale and increase their cloud adoption find there are other issues to contend with. Visibility into cloud access events and regulatory compliance become challenging to maintain. Helpdesk staff are burdened with password resets, and the most important link in the chain—users—are plagued with password fatigue.

This webinar explains:
•Challenges to greater cloud adoption in the fintech space
•How strong authentication complements access management
•Why cloud access management is critical to an organization’s cloud adoption strategy

Gary Watson, Nexsan’s founder, talks about Flash storage in the market.

Modern storage systems offer a dizzying range of IOPS (from hundreds to millions), as well as different latencies and storage capacities. Many IT managers find it difficult to determine which SSD or flash array to buy for their needs, or even whether they can get the speed they need from standard HDDs. This webcast will present results from a 2012 and follow-up 2016 survey of IT professionals to understand performance, capacity, and cost requirements, including IOPS, storage capacity, and latency, of various applications.

Users expectations of IT's ability to return mission critical applications to production are higher than ever. These expectations are leading IT to abandon many of their backup and recovery solutions to try new, unproven solutions that may or may not solve the problem. In either case, the organization wasted its investment in the first solution for the unknown potential of a new solution. User expectations are certain to get higher, so this cycle will likely repeat itself. IT needs a new strategy, one that will meet the current expectations of users and pave the way for true organizational resilience.
