EMC for Network Attached Storage (NAS) Backup and Recovery Using NDMPEMC
This white paper provides an overview of EMC's industry-leading backup and recovery solutions for NAS systems. It also explains how EMC's backup solutions complement snapshots for optimized data protection across the enterprise.
Seeking position as a Linux Administrator by utilizing “6+ years of experience”
In multiple Linux & UNIX platforms, specialized in Red Hat Linux. Self-motivated, dedicated and up to any task that I am given.
Deduplication reduces the amount of disk storage needed to retain and protect data by ratios of 10-30x and greater, making a disk a cost-effective alternative to tape. Data on disk is available online and onsite for longer retention periods, and restores become fast and reliable. Storing only unique data on disk also means that data can be cost-effectively replicated over existing networks to remote sites for disaster recovery and consolidated tape operations.
Oracle Automatic Storage Management has proven to be one of the most widely adopted new features in Oracle Database 10g and it has been dramatically improved in the later 11g releases. This presentation will explain what changes are solved by ASM, how these challenges are solved, what barriers there are to ASM adoptions, and how 11g Release 2 addresses these barriers.

Oracle 11g New Features Out-of-the-Box by Alex Gorbachev (from Sydney Oracle ...Alex Gorbachev
Learn some of the Oracle 11g gems that often gets unnoticed. Features that are not revolutionary in nature but can greatly simplify day-to-day life of any Oracle DBA.
The presentation is based on the material presented by Christo Kutrovsky at the Oracle Open World 2007 and later used by me to produce content for this presentation at the IOUG Collaborate 2008.
Linux Virtual Server (LVS) is an open source load balancing software for Linux, it can be used to build highly scalable network services. The talk will give a brief introduction about the LVS project and its software, and outline over 14 years development and milestones, which includes community development and global collaboration, and finally conclude some personal experience from open source development of LVS.
