Traditional tape backup is pulling apart at the seams. Tape requires manual intervention to manage which leaves backup data wide open to human error. Transporting tape also exposes data to the risk of loss and off-site storage facilities are costly. Testing disaster recovery (DR) plans in this manual environment is an exercise in futility, and even when the process works restoring data from tape is painfully slow.
EMC SAN provides benefits such as high availability and manageability, improved application performance through dedicated storage networks, fast scalability through centralized storage, and better data replication and recovery options. Case studies show that EMC SAN solutions can help businesses reduce costs through storage consolidation, improve business continuity through centralized data management, and increase business flexibility to support growth.

This document discusses SRAM redundancy insertion and its benefits and considerations for design and manufacturing. SRAM redundancy can improve chip yield by replacing defective memory bits with redundant rows and columns. While it requires additional design and testing costs, it can provide a return on investment through reduced unit costs with higher production volumes due to improved yields. Key factors that must be considered include the expected volume, SRAM size and layout, available redundancy in memory compilers and testing tools, additional area and test time overhead, and accurate yield projections with and without redundancy. An ROI analysis is needed to determine if SRAM redundancy will ultimately lower the cost per chip.
The document discusses disaster recovery for mission critical applications. It notes challenges in ensuring application availability with data growth and budget pressures, while meeting regulatory requirements. It discusses using replication, snapshots, and continuous data protection to reduce recovery point objectives (RPO) from hours to minutes or less. EMC provides integrated solutions using technologies like Data Domain, Avamar, RecoverPoint, and VPlex to automate backup, replication, and recovery for applications.
The document discusses the Parks Reservation Service project which involved developing a reservation system for Manitoba parks. A consortium approach was used with multiple companies to develop the system within a tight timeline. The system was developed using lean software principles with iterative delivery of working code.

The system was successfully delivered in three phases on time and within budget.
Improving Responsiveness for Virtualized Networking Under Intensive Computing...tcucinotta
The document discusses improving responsiveness for virtualized networking under intensive computing workloads. It proposes using a temporary reservation with a short period and small budget to allow responsive handling of incoming packets when the normal reservation budget is empty. Experimental results show this approach reduces response times from around 120ms to 16ms compared to using the normal reservation alone. Future work includes more evaluation and implementing server pooling for the temporary reservations.

With the football season in full swing, the baseball season heading into the playoffs, and the hockey season just starting, it is time to raid the refrigerator for snacks, head for the most comfortable chair in the family room, and settle in for a full day of viewing sports. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to turn on the myriad number of devices required to watch a game broadcast over cable, on that wide-screen hi-def TV, with the wrap-around sound from the latest audio system available. There is the re-mote for the cable system; there is a remote for the TV; there is one for the satellite dish; there is anoth-er for the sound system. There are so many remote controls on the coffee table that there is hardly room for the snacks! What you need is a universal remote; a single, simplified command center that can control all of the hi-tech equipment in the family room. Unfortunately, even that universal remote will not do the job for any device released after the remote was manufactured. What is required is a universal remote with a learning capability to take the complexity out of turning on the TV, one than can reprogram itself from the remote that comes with every new device.

TECHNICAL BRIEF▶ Using Virtual Tape Libraries with Backup Exec 2014Symantec
Symantec Backup Exec 2014 delivers powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use backup and recovery to protect your entire infrastructure whether built upon virtual, physical, or a combination of both. Using modern technology, Backup Exec backs up local and remote data to virtually any storage device including tape, disk and cloud. Recovery is fast and efficient. With a few simple clicks, you can quickly search and restore granular file or application objects, applications, VMs, and servers directly from backup storage. Additionally, easily protect more data while reducing storage costs through integrated deduplication and archiving technology.
• Faster data backup and restore processes than tape
• VTL implementation streamlines transition for tape-based infrastructures
• Broad VTL device platform support
• Backup Exec’s DirectCopy to tape option enables data to be copied from a VTL directly to a physical tape during a duplicate backup
• Power and reliability
When it comes to backup and recovery, backup performance numbers rule the roost. It’s understandable really: far more data gets backed up than ever gets restored, and backup length is one of most difficult problems facing administrators today. But a reliance on backup numbers alone is dangerous. Recovery may not happen as frequently as daily backup but recovery is the entire reason for backup. Backing up because everyone does it isn’t good enough.
