Migrating pre-Daylite 3.9 databases to Daylite 3.9 requires backing up the database, downloading and installing Daylite 3.9, and using the migration tool to convert the database to the new format. For single users, this involves adding a license and migrating the database. For multiple users, it requires installing Daylite Server Admin, migrating the database, adding licenses to the server, and downloading Daylite 3.9 on client machines. The migration tool converts the database to the new format and may require support in rare cases.

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER: NetBackup Appliances WAN OptimizationSymantec
In a world of ever increasing data flow as well as globalization of data centers the effectiveness and utilization of the networks connecting sites is of the highest importance to end users. Even with network enhancement and improvement, the ability of the infrastructure to keep pace with the flow of data has proved not to be in lockstep. To optimize the flow of data verses increasing the pipe that is flows along is seen as critical to keeping operations running and costs minimal. This paper discusses the new WAN Optimization technology that has been introduced in the NetBackup 5220 and 5020 appliances.
This document outlines the WAN Optimization feature enhancements introduced on the NetBackup 5220 and NetBackup 5020 and applies to:
• NetBackup 5220 & 5230 appliances with version N2.5 and above installed
• NetBackup 5020 & 5030 appliances with version D1.4.2 and above installed
Introducing Backup to Disk devices and deduplication
This document describes how HPE Data Protector integrates with Backup to Disk devices and deduplication. By supporting deduplication, several new concepts are introduced to Data Protector, including a new device type, the Backup to Disk device, and four interface types: the HPE StoreOnce Software deduplication, the HPE StoreOnce Backup System, Smart Cache, and the EMC Data Domain Boost. Backup to Disk devices and deduplication are both discussed in detail in this document.
Backup to Disk devices are devices that back up data to a physical storage disk and support multi-host configurations. They support different backends such as the HP StoreOnce Software deduplication, the StoreOnce Backup system, Smart Cache, or the EMC Data Domain Boost. This document also describes the basic principles behind deduplication technology.
Data Protector supports the following deduplication backends:
HPE Data Protector Software deduplication provides the ability to deploy target-side deduplication on virtually any industry-standard hardware, offers greater flexibility than existing solutions as it can be deployed in a wider range of hardware set-ups, and provides enterprise-class scalability.
Because of the way Data Protector makes use of the extremely efficient HPE StoreOnce engine, Data Protector software deduplication uses memory very efficiently. As a result, you can deploy deduplication on application or backup servers without lowering application performance. Data Protector software deduplication can even be deployed on a virtual machine. In addition, Data Protector software deduplication delivers very high throughput. HPE StoreOnce Backup system devices are disk to disk (D2D) backup devices which support deduplication. Smart Cache devices are backup to disk devices that enable non-staged recovery from VMware backups. EMC Data Domain Boost devices are D2D backup devices which support deduplication.
Better email response time using Microsoft Exchange 2013 with the Dell PowerE...Principled Technologies
In a market where servers can seem the same at a glance, look for the differences. Your email infrastructure choices will directly affect end-user experience for your UC&C applications. Equipped with more drives in its extra drive slots, the Dell PowerEdge R730xd delivered 31.7 percent better Exchange 2013 response times than a similarly configured, current-generation Supermicro server did. With better Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 response times, the PowerEdge R730xd can help deliver an improved experience for users in your organization.
The Symantec NetBackup Platform is a complete backup and recovery solution that is optimized for virtually any workload, including physical, virtual, arrays, or big data infrastructures. NetBackup delivers flexible target storage options, such as tape, 3rd-party disk, cloud, or appliance storage devices, including the NetBackup Deduplication Appliances and Integrated Backup Appliances.
NetBackup 7.6 delivers the performance, automation, and manageability necessary to protect virtualized deployments at scale – where thousands of Virtual Machines and petabytes of data are the norm today, and where software-defined data centers and IT-as-a-service become the norm tomorrow. Enterprises trust Symantec.
BranchCache is a new feature available in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that reduces WAN bandwidth usage. It improves application responsiveness when workstations in a remote location access content from the head office or datacenter. It does this by downloading and caching content on the local network as it is requested, making it immediately available to other clients that subsequently request the same content.
This paper examines the BranchCache functionality specifically in the context of software distribution using System Center Configuration Manager 2007 to determine if it is an optimal solution for the deployment of software, patches and operating systems to remote, serverless branches.

Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases 2.0 and Microsoft SQL Server 2014: ...Principled Technologies
As this guide has shown, installing and configuring a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 with SQL Server 2014 powered by the Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases is a straightforward procedure. A key benefit from implementing DAAD 2.0 into your infrastructure is the ability to accelerate workloads without a complete storage area network redesign. This can be ideal for businesses that have snapshot and deduplication features within their software stack or are looking to improve database performance without investing in large storage solutions that may contain features they do not need. Consider DAAD 2.0 for your business—a storage acceleration solution that requires only 4U of rack space and can potentially give your database workloads a boost.
Converged architecture advantages: Dell PowerEdge FX2s and FC830 servers vs. ...Principled Technologies
Based on our testing with heavy SQL Server 2014 database workloads, the converged architecture solution of a Dell PowerEdge FX2s chassis and FC830 servers delivered 3.9 times the performance of our legacy IBM solution. We also found the Dell PowerEdge FX2s and FC830 solution offered 73 percent lower cost per order compared to the legacy IBM System x3850 X5 solution. In addition, the PowerEdge FX2s and FC830 solution does not sacrifice traditional hardware redundancy while providing the same highly available database solution in a smaller rack space. If your business runs Microsoft SQL Server 2014, the converged architecture approach with Dell PowerEdge FX2s chassis and FC830 servers powered by Intel could bring a harmonious balance of performance, reliability, and cost efficiency to your data center.
Increase density and performance with upgrades from Intel and MicrosoftPrincipled Technologies
As the needs of your business grow, so must the power of your server infrastructure. Rather than purchasing replacement servers with base configurations, consider upgrading key components to ensure you get the performance you need.
In our tests, we found that upgrading a server with the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2697v2, Microsoft Windows Server 2012 operating system, Intel SSD DC S3700 series drive, and Intel Ethernet CNA X520 series adapters supported 3.5 times more VMs than the legacy server we tested, which also meant 3.5 times the database performance and Exchange user mailboxes. Upgrading components piece by piece can improve your server capacity, but upgrading the processor, OS, storage, and network configuration together provided the biggest increase in our tests. By investing in upgraded components from Intel and Microsoft, you can get the most out of your server infrastructure both now and in the future.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

process. Or, you could do it when you have some down time.
For Mac OS X Tiger users only: As of Daylite 3.15, support for Mac OS X Tiger has
ceased. However, Daylite 3.15 can interoperate with Daylite & Daylite Server 3.14. For

Overview
Starting from v 3.9, Daylite and Daylite Server Admin exist as 2 different components.
In a multi-user environment, you would need both Daylite and Daylite Server Admin;
however, single-users don’t need Daylite Server Admin. Daylite Server Admin is the
central control for the new offline system and the Daylite Touch infrastructure. A part
of this infrastructure is a new, more powerful, more scalable, more future friendly
database engine that replaces OpenBase (the old database system). The new
database system is powered by Postgres, a proven, popular SQL database engine.
Daylite Server Admin
We now have a dedicated Daylite Server Admin application. This new server
component is required when sharing databases, synchronizing with offline databases
or with Daylite Touch. Daylite Server Admin is only required on the “server” machine.
It is not required on all computers. Client computers that run Daylite have their own
environment created by the application. Daylite Server Admin also offers centralized
licensing for Daylite and DMI.

6. Networking and port forwarding
Daylite can connect to any database that resides on the server either locally or
remotely. Users who wish to configure access to server over the internet or VPN
should specify certain settings. For example, consider you are working from home or
on the road and want remote access to Daylite Server/Touch Server. If you've
configured the network settings, then Daylite can connect to Daylite Server and your
device can connect to the Touch Server automatically. Keep in mind that local access
is always enabled when the server is running. Note: Remote access is not
recommended for single users. Single users should sync over the Wi-Fi network to
avoid unnecessarily complex setup.
You should specify the external host name and enable automatic port forwarding to
be able to connect remotely.
• The external host name should be a static IP (Public) address. Otherwise, if you
have a domain name set up, you can enter it here. The external host name you
specify here is commonly used by both Daylite and Daylite Touch for connecting
remotely. For more information about static IP’s, click here.
• The Network pane displays the ports that are used by Daylite Server and Touch
Server. You can turn "On" automatic port forwarding if your firewall or router
supports it. This tells the router how to pass a connection to the server machine
automatically when you are trying to connect externally. If your firewall or router
does not allow for automatic port forwarding, then you'll have to manually go into
your firewall or router and open these ports. For more information about router
support and port forwarding, click here or refer to your router’s manual.
• Local network access: You can enter a domain name that is accessible throughout
the network and also VPN, if applicable. The internal host name you specify is
commonly used by both Daylite and Daylite Touch for connecting remotely through
VPN.
Using Dynamic DNS services
If you don’t have a static IP or domain name, you can use services such as www.no-
ip.com and/or www.dyndns.com for remote access.

Changes to licensing
In a multi-user environment, you must add all Daylite, DMI, DPS, and Daylite Touch
licenses into Daylite Server Admin application on your server machine. This is called
centralized licensing. There is no need to add licenses on every computer running
Daylite. Single-users must add their license in Daylite.
Daylite licensing works on concurrent use model. You only need licenses for the
number of people that will use Daylite at the same time on the same or different
databases. The licensing model for Daylite Touch requires 1 license to support all your
devices. For example, a Daylite Touch license supports any number of iPhones, iPods,
and iPads for a single Daylite user. With one license, you will be able to connect to
your database on multiple devices and synchronize with the Touch server concurrently.
When you are offline, you’ll use 1 license. You release the license when you go back
online. For more information, see Help > Daylite Server Admin Help.
Migrating pre-Daylite 3.9 databases
Pre-Daylite 3.9 databases should be migrated to work with Daylite 3.9. Please verify
the following check list before you begin.
Pre-migration check list:
• Backup your database by choosing File > Database > Quick Backup.
• Write down the name of the database you wish to migrate. This is especially
important when you have multiple databases. You can see your database name in the
toolbar located at the top of the Daylite window.
• Keep your license information handy before you migrate.
a. For single users:
Daylite user with 1 computer
1. Go to the Synchronization pane of Daylite Preferences and turn synchronization
“Off” (not to be confused with offline users).

Single user with a desktop and laptop
In this case, follow the same procedure described for multi-users.
Migrating to Daylite 3.9 if you have multiple users on the same machine
If you have multiple user accounts for Daylite on the same machine and you want to
share a database among those users, it is recommended that you install Daylite Server
Admin on that machine and connect to the shared database from Daylite.
Note: Be careful not to migrate a database in both the personal and shared
environments. The migration alert will come up for both. Click “Never Migrate” in
Daylite if you’ve already migrated using Daylite Server Admin.
Uninstalling OpenBase
If you were using Daylite 3.8 or lower versions and currently switch to Daylite 3.9, then
the folder containing the old version of Daylite is renamed as Daylite 3 Legacy in your
Applications. This folder has Daylite 3.8 or older version of the application you were
using and also a Daylite Legacy Uninstaller. For removing Daylite 3.8 (or older version
of the application) and OpenBase Database Engine, you should run the Daylite Legacy
Uninstaller.
