Designing Cloud Backup to reduce DR downtime for IT ProfessionalsStorage Switzerland
IT professionals know that the ultimate test of the data protection process is performing a recovery; whether a single server recovery or recovering an entire data center. That said, we are all guilty of focusing too much on the backup process rather than trying to reduce the amount of downtime following a system failure. In this webinar, George Crump, founder of Storage Switzerland and Ian McChord from Datto will provide you with the five critical questions you need to answer in order to reduce or even eliminate downtime.
We’ve all heard about “The Cloud.” And If you believe all the hype, it’s where we all should be using enterprise software applications. But, the reality is that there are compelling reasons for both Software as a Service (SaaS) or Self-Hosted approaches for behavioral health organizations to deploying electronic health records. The key lies in evaluating what technical deployment and contacting approach works best for you.
Designing a Modern Disaster Recovery EnvironmentBrian Anderson
In this presentation I presented EAGLE's ideas on designing a modern disaster recovery environment. Key concepts include balancing cost, risk and complexity in DR strategies. Most notably we'll cover recovery objectives, common DR technologies (that allow you to backup and pre-position data), and the importance of viewing DR as an insurance policy.
Innovations that simplify desktop virtualization Dell World

The Adoption of Cloud Technology by Enterprises - A Whitepaper by RapidValueRapidValue
If we go back in time, people were dependent on the physical computer storage or servers in order to run their programs. Now, with the introduction of cloud computing, people, organizations and enterprises are able to access their programs through the Internet. Cloud computing is gaining prominence, rapidly, and the popularity is growing, each day. Cloud computing is big business, today.According to PC Magazine, it was, already, generating around $100 billion a year in 2012. It is forecasted to increase up to $270 billion by the year 2020.
Enterprises and organizations, these days, are relying heavily on the cloud services and cloud platforms to obtain resources on-demand and that too, in an automated manner.
Organizations can, now, only pay for the resources that they use. Enterprises, also,
relinquish unnecessary resources with the help of using a self-service portal. This serves as a big cost-effective solution, as you can eliminate the need for investing a huge sum of money as capital investment.
This paper addresses the primary reasons for the enterprises migrating to the cloud infrastructure, various types of cloud deployment (technology & services) models IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud, feature comparison of three popular cloud platforms - AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and some examples of how enterprises and consumers are using the cloud technology.

Have you considered moving core business applications to the Cloud? Do you know if it makes sense for your business? This information-packed session will provide attendees with four things their enterprise should consider when evaluating moving their mission critical applications to the cloud.
In addition, this session gives attendees:
• Insights culled from industry experts and analysts that explain how
the cloud affects costs from three angles: launch, operations, and long-term infrastructure expense.
• A review of how time-to-value and cloud launch processes differ
from on-premise launches.
• A snapshot of the processes used by cloud providers that may
drive greater security and reliability than what enterprises can afford on their own.
• Examples of how leading enterprises have moved their business to
the cloud resulting in lowered cost and better service.
Performing manual tasks to test your DR can drain IT resources and it leaves you prone to human error. Find out how you can automate some of these processes for more efficient and reliable testing. Join this webinar to learn more about:
• Guaranteed recovery with 100% automated DR failover, and testing
• Automatic certification that RPOs and RTOs will be achieved
• Fully automating DR testing as often as you want
• Ensuring immediate detection and alerting of deviations
• Guaranteed failover of virtualized applications and business services
The Great Disconnect of Data Protection: Perception, Reality and Best Practicesiland Cloud
iland and Veeam recently conducted a data protection survey of IT organizations worldwide. In this webinar, we summarize and analyze the survey responses so you canunderstand today’s data protection landscape. Then, we cover best practices that can help ensure thatyour organization, and its data,are properly protected
Watch the webinar on-demand: https://www.iland.com/wb-data-protection-report/
Typical disaster recovery plans leverage backup and/or replication to move data out of the primary data center and to a secondary site. Historically, the secondary site is another data center that the organization maintains. But now, companies are looking to the cloud to become a secondary site, leveraging it as a backup target and even a place to start their applications in the event of a failure. The problem with this approach is that it merely simulates a legacy design and presents some significant recovery challenges.
Similar to Leveraging the Cloud for Disaster Recovery (20)
Businesses across the world, both small and large, have been migrating to the Cloud. However, one question that keeps repeatedly being asked is “How can we put data, the lifeline of business, on a platform that is operated by an external entity?” There have been repeated instances of security and privacy breaches that have only made these questions more urgent.
Threats to data stored on the Cloud can arise out of both technology and human vulnerabilities. It is therefore essential to increase the “Trust Quotient” of the Cloud, if the technology has to be truly embraced. The Cloud Security Alliance, an unbiased vendor agnostic third party, has been playing a pioneering role in raising the “Cloud Trust Quotient” through its initiatives like CCSK and CSA STAR.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

More flexible short-term contracts
Recovering workloads on the Cloud
Easier, more frequent, and less
expensive testing
Increased complexity is
taking its toll
Executives are losing focus
on the need for DR
preparedness
DR is still an all-or-nothing
investment
DR Concerns Cloud Benefits
The Cloud offers exciting possibilities for
DR planners
Why Cloud DR?
4. Security (e.g. SoD, Access Control) and compliance are difficult to achieve in the
cloud
Providers are often unwilling to negotiate SLA penalties
Not all cloud providers can support adequate site separation
Some apps don’t work in cloud environments
Recovery resources are oversubscribed
There is a lack of trusted vendors in the market

Cloud DR Concerns
5. • Location of the CSPs DR site
• Latency
• Survivability
• Regulatory
• If CSP has multiple data centers in same jurisdiction,
no contractual or legal issues there is no real prob
• SLAs are important
• Ensure cloud services are backed up/replicated to
other sites
• Sometime default DR, sometime addition fees,
sometime a mix
• Failover automation

idance
6. • Virtualization is needed as CSP support virtual
systems, easy if heavily virtualize
• Can the systems be virtualized?
• Is virtualization supported by CSP
• Any non-standard physical components? e.g.
dongles, PCI cards, telephony cards?
• Licensing issues?

7. Approaches
• Do It Yourself (DIY)
• DRaaS
Implementing Cloud DR
Techniques
1. Cold Cloud DR
• Backup images.
• Achievable RTOs are usually 6 to 48
hours and RPOs are 24 to 48 hours.
• Pay for storage
2. Warm DR
• Production VMs up to date. resulting in
RTOs usually of 2 to 6 hours and RPOs
of minutes to hours.
• Pay for only storage
3. Hot DR
• RTOs in this approach are usually less
than 1 hour.

8. • Founded in late 2009, Cooper River Financial offers the mortgage industry a financial
services tool that tracks loans
• Uses cloud-based infrastructure for production
• It needed to find a solution that could comply with strict financial regulations and
deliver an aggressive RPO of zero data loss and an RTO of 15 minutes
• It selected Hosting.com as the IaaS cloud provider with cloud-to-cloud DR enabled by
Geminare
• Its architecture includes active-passive configurations for databases (where a
secondary copy constantly runs at the recovery site) and rapid VM restarts for the
remaining infrastructure
• It constantly monitors production VMs and if even one fails, it can spin a recovery VM
within minutes at the recovery site
• With this configuration, it only pays for the majority of the recovery site in the event of a
disaster or testing

9. • IJM is a global human rights organization that supports 15 offices outside of the
US
• Previously, the DR strategy consisted of a tape backup system, making it
difficult to recover in a timely manner
• Lack of funding for DR limited its options
• IJM turned to WAN optimization partner Riverbed Technology to create a DR
strategy that met its needs and budget restrictions
• IJM uses Riverbed’s Whitewater appliance to compress and optimize backups
of VMs to the cloud
• In the event of a disaster or outage, IJM can rapidly spinup VMs at the cloud
provider and failover
• It has successfully tested the implementation for both single remote site failure
and organization-wide failure

10. • Psomas is a consulting engineering firm with offices in Arizona, California, and
Utah.
• The company’s DR strategy was not only costly, it was a struggle to keep up-to-
date as production changed. Furthermore, Psomas could only manage a test
once or twice a year
• Psomas worked with iland, Riverbed’s Whitewater appliance, and DynTek to set
up a new cloud-based DR plan based on VMware Site Recovery Manager 5.0
(SRM).
• This solution met its required RTO of 4 to 5 hours and RPO of 6
• Testing is now so much easier — the push of a button can bring up the
recovery site and test all processes up until the actual failover of production

11. • Develop a Cloud DR Strategy
• Understand Cloud SLAs and be realistic
• Right size the recovery resources that you
will provision on the Cloud
• Prioritize testing, with Cloud DR you can
test more frequently with lesser risk of
disruption
