A breakdown of the top misconceptions enterprises are facing when assessing the security levels of cloud computing environments, and the realities behind them
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.

Downtime refers to the unavailability of websites, applications, or online services. It is a costly problem for businesses, with small companies losing up to $6,900 per hour and mid-sized companies losing up to $74,000 per hour during downtime. The main causes of downtime include hardware failures, human errors, software failures, security breaches, and natural disasters. Downtime costs businesses money through lost revenue, lost productivity, business disruption, recovery costs, and potential damage to reputation. Outages of more than a few seconds can cause customers to abandon websites.

Traditional software development often results in poor quality code due to time and market pressures, with developers feeling forced to rush products out before proper testing. This places unnecessary burdens on developers and leads to software with bugs and security issues. However, the costs of these problems historically fell on users rather than developers. With software-as-a-service (SaaS), the economic burden shifts back to vendors since they are responsible for hosting, maintaining, and fixing issues with the software. This creates natural incentives for SaaS vendors to implement higher quality coding, testing, and security practices to avoid damage to their reputation and demand for customer support.
The document summarizes the results of a cloud computing adoption survey of 565 IT professionals. Key findings include:
1) Organizations that have used cloud-based services are satisfied and 70% plan to move additional applications to the cloud in the next year, showing cloud computing provides value.
2) While only 36% currently use cloud computing, 62% of others are considering it, showing cloud computing is becoming a standard part of IT strategies.
3) Top concerns preventing greater cloud adoption are security and integration with existing infrastructure, but cost savings and agility are motivating factors.

This document discusses how law firms can control costs while maximizing the value of their technology investments. It recommends that firms streamline their IT infrastructure to reduce costs and complexity, freeing up resources to apply technology more to legal practice. Specifically, the document recommends virtualizing core systems, optimizing storage, and consolidating data centers. It also suggests evaluating outsourcing some IT services and using practice technologies like document management systems and relationship mining software to enhance client services. With good leadership and the right balance of people, process and technology changes, firms can improve productivity, client relations and gain efficiencies from their technology.
This document discusses the importance of security for virtual environments. While virtualization can reduce costs, many organizations fail to properly manage and monitor their virtual infrastructures, jeopardizing performance and availability. The document outlines four key factors for securing virtual environments: 1) Treat virtual machines like physical servers and conduct regular security audits, 2) Isolate network traffic between virtual machines, 3) Control access to virtual servers carefully, and 4) Provide training to staff on virtualization security. Proper security practices are needed to avoid breaches and downtime and realize the full benefits of virtualization.
Learn how employing a combination of automation, integration, and thoughtful system design can allow you to achieve a level of security with cloud-based services that is higher than most legacy in-house services currently provide.
Many security professionals are skeptical about cloud-based services and infrastructure. But it's a skepticism we've seen before, when a new computing paradigm encounters a suspicious--if not downright hostile--mindset (data-center-centric) and installed base. In this paper, we will discuss some of the general philosophies and perspectives that will assist anyone who wants to securely leverage the benefits the cloud by using its strengths to overcome issues that have traditionally been labeled as weaknesses.

The benefits of employing virtualization in the corporate data center are compelling – lower operating
costs, better resource utilization, increased availability of critical infrastructure to name just a few. It is an
apparent “no brainer” which explains why so many organizations are jumping on the bandwagon. Industry
analysts estimate that between 60 and 80 percent of IT departments are actively working on server
consolidation projects using virtualization. But what are the challenges for operations and security staff
when it comes to management and ensuring the security of the new virtual enterprise? With new
technology, complexity and invariably new management challenges generally follow.
Over the last 18 months, Prism Microsystems, a leading security information and event management
(SIEM) vendor, working closely with a set of early adopter customers and prospects, has been working on
extending the capability of EventTracker to provide deep support for virtualization, enabling our customers
to get the same level of security for the virtualized enterprise as they have for their non-virtualized
enterprise. This White Paper examines the technology and management challenges that result from
virtualization, and how EventTracker addresses them.

Why Replication is Not Enough to Keep Your Business Running Axcient
While you may be familiar with multiple replication products and vendors, don’t confuse the technology of data or server replication with Disaster Recovery.
Replication is not a disaster recovery solution nor does it provide business continuity. So what exactly is replication? According to TechTarget, replication is the process of copying data from one location to another over a SAN, LAN or local WAN. This provides you with multiple up-to-date copies of your data. Look at replication as an aspect of DR/BC. Although it is a key technology in order to implement a complete DR/BC plan, it needs to be combined with data deduplication, virtual servers or even the cloud. But let’s take a step back to really understand business continuity.

Virtualising your mission-critical applicationsguest24ab95c
1) The document outlines seven key things that must be considered for successful virtualization of mission-critical applications. These include aligning projects with business goals, creating a full inventory, monitoring pre-virtualization performance, thinking beyond just consolidation, right-sizing virtual resources, decoupling hypervisors from management tools, and monitoring the end-user experience.
2) It emphasizes the importance of understanding current infrastructure, workloads, and licensing before virtualizing. Performance monitoring of applications pre-virtualization can identify suitable candidates.
3) The document recommends using third-party management tools that provide a unified view of both physical and virtual environments and can monitor from an end-user perspective across systems.
