Jim Roysdon is the owner of Aureus IT Solutions, a company that provides IT support for small businesses. He has over 20 years of IT experience. Aureus offers disaster planning and business continuity solutions to help businesses avoid downtime and data loss from disasters. These solutions include backing up data to an on-site device and cloud servers so businesses can access their files and systems remotely if their primary location is unavailable. The solutions can restore systems in seconds rather than hours or days with traditional backup methods. Aureus' services help small businesses reduce their overall IT costs and risks from downtime compared to maintaining IT support in-house.
Even though users and application owners are demanding it, the Always-On Data Center seems unrealistic to most IT professionals. Overcoming the cost and complexity of an Always-On environment while delivering consistent results is almost too much to ask. But the reality is that data centers of all sizes can affordably meet this expectation. The Always-On environment requires a holistic approach, counting on a highly virtualized infrastructure, flexible data protection software and purpose built protection storage.
Listen in as experts from Storage Switzerland, Veeam and ExaGrid architect a data availability and protection infrastructure that can meet and even exceed the Always-On expectations of an Always-On organization.
This document provides a checklist to help organizations determine if they need a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. It lists 20 potential issues an organization may face in managing digital assets like images, videos, documents and other files. These issues include assets being stored in various places, using inconsistent file naming, wasting time searching for assets, difficulty sharing large files, and lack of secure file storage. It then provides a scoring guide - organizations that check 4 or fewer issues may possibly benefit from DAM, 5-9 issues would likely benefit greatly, and 10 or more issues definitely need DAM to gain efficiencies. DAM systems help organize, archive, find and share digital content across an organization.
This Blueprint is designed to help with customers who are utilising OST technology with Backup Exec’s deduplication Option to improve back end storage capabilities within a complex backup environment.
Relentless Information Growth
The data deduplication technology within Backup Exec 2014 breaks down streams of backup data into “blocks.” Each data block is identified as either unique or non-unique, and a tracking database is used to ensure that only a single copy of a data block is saved to storage by that Backup Exec server. For subsequent backups, the tracking database identifies which blocks have been protected and only stores the blocks that are new or unique. For example, if five different client systems are sending backup data to a Backup Exec server and a data block is found in backup streams from all five of those client systems, only a single copy of the data block is actually stored by the Backup Exec server. This process of reducing redundant data blocks that are saved to backup storage leads to significant reduction in storage space needed for backups.
Data has increased the necessity in making greater investments in IT infrastructure, with the increase in the duplication of data and Data protection processes, such as backup, has compound data growth creating multiple copies of primary data made for operational and disaster recovery. This has also made the Backup Infrastructure far more complex. Now that disk-based systems inherently offer faster restores, disk systems can also make backup environments more complex and difficult to manage. This creates a problem for many backup solutions to manage advanced storage device capabilities such as data deduplication, replication, and ability to write directly to tape.
Power of OpenStorage Technology (OST)
Symantec Backup Exec software and the OpenStorage technology (OST) have been designed to provide centrally managed, edge-to-core data protection in order to span multiple sites and provide disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) functionality and automate Data Movement. The OpenStorage API introduced in Backup Exec 2010 provides automated movement of data between sites and storage tiers and acts as a single Point of Management and Catalog for Backup Data, regardless of where it resides (remote office or corporate data center) or of what type of media it is stored on (disk or tape), or its age (recent backup or long term archive), providing better Control of Advanced Storage Devices.
The OpenStorage initiative allows customers to better utilize advanced, disk-based storage solutions from qualified partners. It gives the ability to ensure tighter integration between the backup software and storage, greater efficiency and performance using an easy-to-deploy, purpose-built appliance that does not have the limitation of tape emulation devices: increasing Performance and Optimization, achieving faster backups to deduplication appliances via a third-party OST plug-in enabled by Backup Exec.
Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced it will deliver a new approach for modernizing backup and recovery, a process that has become unnecessarily complicated and expensive as organizations’ data stores grow exponentially. Compared to traditional backup, Symantec’s approach enables 100 times faster backup, eases management and simplifies recovery if a disaster occurs, helping customers realize significant cost savings while better protecting their business information.

ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
AI 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Impact of Artificial IntelligenceIndexBug

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Why Offsite Backup?
Industry Statistics
• Only 35% of SMBs have a
comprehensive disaster recovery
plan in place.
– Gartner
• Over 40% of businesses never re-
open following a disaster.
– Of the remaining companies, at least
25% will close within 2 years.
– The U.S. Department of Labor
• Over 60% of businesses
confronted by a major disaster
close within two years.
– Association of Records Managers and
Administrators.

It’s About the Data
Data loss makes a business suffer
Business data goes hand in hand with
business operations. The loss of such data,
or even their temporary inaccessibility, may
threaten hard-earned competitive position.
Companies without proactive backup and
recovery policies are likely to be OUT OF
BUSINESS within 2 years of a major disaster.
Loss of business data may ruin your
company’s reputation, and may lead to
expensive litigation.
Interrupts business continuity*.
*This is key and we will address this a little later.

Why Offsite Backup?
Data Loss is Expensive
• 2 major causes of data loss = 76% of all Incidents
Unreliable
Hard-drives
User Error!

Data loss makes a business suffer
Servers can be replaced – quickly
and (relatively cheaply) – with another
server or an interim server until a
duplicate device can be configured.
ISP or broad band providers can be
replaced.
Manual activities can replace some of
the automated process.

Data Under Attack !
Erased / Corrupt / Viruses / Stolen
Data is the most difficult item to
“replace” – there is no substitute, you
either have it or you don’t.
How much can a company lose?

Data Loss is Expensive
Your Customers data is worth
$10,000/MB
– Various studies quantified that:
• 1MB of data is worth approximately
@$10,000
• Re-building just 20MB of lost data
could cost more than $17,000 and
nearly three weeks to re-build

Data Loss is Expensive
• A single leaked record
may cost you $180 to
rectify
• Retrieval of data from
a crashed hard drive
can cost you a fortune,
and there is
NO GUARANTEE of
success!

What is the Price / Cost?
Cost of
Disruption
Cost to
Recover
The cost of downtime is an increasing function of time.

How Much Is It Worth?
Estimating the Financial Risk
R$ = P x C x T
R$ = financial risk
P = probability of disaster
C= cost of downtime (productivity & revenue)
T = time the system is expected to be down

Conventional Approaches to
Backup Are Not Good Enough!
Expensive offsite storage of
High failure rates during
tape library
restoration
Reduced flexibility for backup
Slow read / write speed
caused by fixed capacity per
backup media
Difficulty in detecting problems of
backup before performing
Increased likelihood of
restoration
occurrence of negligence-
induced problems (e.g. lost or
High maintenance cost
misplaced data)

The Backup Process
•Seed load and in-file delta technologies
enable backup of a large volume of data to be
completed in a very short period of time.
•Seed load allows backup of the large volume
of data to a local hard drive.
•In-file delta technology, the original file is
required to be backed up once only, i.e. in the
first backup job.
•Subsequently, only the changes within the file
made since the previous backup are
necessary to be backed up.
