The document discusses how large organizations are moving to disk-based data protection platforms to more efficiently manage massive amounts of data for disaster recovery purposes. These platforms use automation, integration with backup applications, and features like deduplication and replication to minimize costs while improving backup and restore speeds. They also allow for centralized management of policies to back up, replicate, store, and expire data across multiple sites according to regulatory requirements.
Scale-Out Architectures for Secondary StorageInteractiveNEC
IT organizations have seen explosive growth in the amount of data for several years. Forecasts are for that growth to continue at a rapid pace and even accelerate for organizations where the deluge of data from next generation applications such as rich media or IoT networks is just beginning to have an impact. All this growth puts pressure on storage resources, IT budgets and on the delivery of IT services including data protection. This pressure in turn is driving organizations to re-evaluate various aspects of their IT environment including data protection strategies.
This paper addresses the major challenges that large organizations face in protecting their valuable data. Some of these challenges include recovery objectives, data explosion, cost and the nature of data. The paper explores multiple methods of data protection at different storage
levels. RAID disk arrays, snapshot technology, storage mirroring, and backup and archive strategies all are methods used by many large organizations to protect their data. The paper surveys several different enterprise-level backup and archive solutions in the market today and
evaluates each solution based on certain criteria. The evaluation criteria cover all business needs and help to tackle the key issues related to data protection. Finally, this paper provides insight on data protection mechanisms and proposes guidelines that help organizations to
choose the best backup and archive solutions.
Why is Virtualization Creating Storage Sprawl? By Storage SwitzerlandINFINIDAT
Desktop and server virtualization have brought many benefits to the data center. These two initiatives have allowed IT to respond quickly to the needs of the organization while driving down IT costs, physical footprint requirements and energy demands. But there is one area of the data center that has actually increased in cost since virtualization started to make its way into production… storage. Because of virtualization, more data centers need "ash to meet the random I/O nature of the virtualized environment, which of course is more expensive, on a dollar per GB basis, than hard disk drives. The single biggest problem however is the signi!cant increase in the number of discrete storage systems that service the environment. This “storage sprawl” threatens the return on investment (ROI) of virtualization projects and makes storage more complex to manage.

Modern organizations from different sizes (Small, , Medium and Large) consider information as one of the most important of their assets that need to be secured against increasing number of threats. The importance of the information comes from its impacts on the main tasks performed by the organization. The evolution of Information Technology and Information Systems is changing permanently the characteristics and the components of such systems and the ways needed to protect them against any security risk. Periodic data backup is a system administration task that has changed as new technologies have altered the fundamental structure of networks. These changes encourage rethinking of modern backup strategies and techniques. In addition, standard backup programs and specialized tools are often needed. This paper provides an overview of issues to be considered for a long term, stable and secure backup system. A new approach (Hardware) called Black Box backup system is proposed based on current risk management plans and procedures used mainly in the aerospace industry.
This presentation highlights changing landscape of data centers. It draws the parallels with the web evolution and shows how data center 1.0 is different from 2.0 to 3.0. It also talks about Cisco UCS and BMC Bladelogic partnership.

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.

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.
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.

Managing Data to Improve Disaster Recovery Preparedness
Posted By Industry Perspectives On July 16, 2012 @ 8:30 am In Industry Perspectives | No
Comments
Joe Forgione, senior vice president of product operations and business development at
SEPATON, Inc [1]. Most recently, he served as CEO of mValent, a data center applications
management software company, acquired by Oracle in 2009.
The use of tape as the primary backup medium for disaster recovery
purposes long ago gave way to disk-based data protection platforms. This
approach enables large organizations with massive volumes of data to
minimize storage costs, reduce risk of data loss and downtime, retain data
online longer, and accelerate backup/restore times.
Managing Large Volumes of Data
In today’s large enterprises with massive data volumes to protect
JOE FORGIONE and multiple data centers and disaster recovery (DR) sites to
SEPATON manage, manual data protection is not cost-efficient and does not
provide sufficient risk reduction. Large organizations need to back
up and move tens of terabytes (often petabytes) of data over a WAN quickly and efficiently.
Also, they manage backup and replication policies for hundreds of backup volumes and data
types to ensure data is de-duplicated, replicated, stored, and (eventually) securely erased in
accordance with strict regulatory requirements.
As a result, most large enterprises are moving to powerful disk-based appliances that enable
them to backup data within their backup windows, to store petabytes of data in a single
system, and to automate management of their complex data lifecycle policies.
Automation and Integration
For example, one backup application vendor that has pioneered such automation and
integration is Symantec through its OpenStorage Technology (OST) plug in for the popular
NetBackup backup application. With OST, NetBackup can be more closely integrated with
disk-based data protection platforms, enabling enterprises to take full advantage of the
advanced capabilities in both NetBackup itself and the backup target. At the same time,
enterprise data protection platform technology has advanced to include such innovations as
ContentAware byte-level de-duplication and replication that is capable of moving massive
data volumes over a WAN with minimal bandwidth for fast, efficient replication. They also
include a high degree of automation, detailed dashboards, and support for OST’s Auto Image
Replication (A.I.R.), enabling them to be an integral part of the disaster recovery
management of all backup data sets. One such platform is capable of backing up 43 TB per
hour and can de-duplicate and replicate these volumes without slowing performance.
Together, A.I.R. and advanced enterprise data protection platforms provide the performance,

control, flexibility, and automation that enterprises need to centralize management of data
protection —from data backup and replication through the expiration and secure electronic
destruction of each copy
As the name implies, A.I.R. enables you to automatically backup and replicate copies of data
sets without needing to manage multiple catalogues. With A.I.R. the backup is determined by
automated storage lifecycle policies (SLPs) enabling enterprises to consolidate data types
with different storage plans onto the same enterprise data protection platform for
significantly simpler management. Managers simply use SLP to define all copies at once,
specifying the storage device and the specific retention for each copy. They then point all the
backup policies that follow the same storage plan to that lifecycle.
Synthetic Backup
Another valuable feature is optimized synthetic backup – a capability that dramatically
reduces the volume of data that an enterprise needs to backup and replicate. While SLPs may
not be necessary for small and medium businesses where manual backup management may
be manageable, and tape may even remain an acceptable medium, but in large enterprises
with multiple sites, multiple data centers and massive volumes of data, more seamless
integration between a robust backup application and a high-performance, disk-based data
protection platform should now be considered a business continuity best practice.
A unified set of SLPs combined with storage pooling and multi-tenancy capabilities in the data
protection platform are particularly beneficial to large enterprises with multiple business units
and demanding recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTOs and RPOs).
Additional advantages of implementing a centralized, highly automated disaster recovery plan
include:
The ability to leverage de-duplication and compression capabilities built into the data
protection platform to minimize the size of both master and replicated backup images
Content-aware byte differential de-duplication to cut the capacity of data to be backed
up and replicated without slowing backup performance
Bandwidth-optimized replication to deliver fast, cost-effective movement of data to
geographically-dispersed locations for disaster recovery protection
Support for active/active, many-to-one and one-to-many topologies to accommodate
different business continuity strategies
Extending a centralized data protection umbrella to remote office locations more
effectively and economically
More affordable consolidation and centralization of a tape infrastructure used for
archiving
An easier way to set multiple, different retention periods in different locations for lower
storage utilization and, therefore, lower costs
The ability to minimize RTO by automating the importing of catalogs to immediately
restore mission-critical production applications and systems
Large enterprises should evaluate emerging solutions that can significantly reduce disaster
recovery data protection costs while improving recovery times. The advantages of disk-based
data protection are clear, especially when specifically designed for the ingest, de-duplication
and replication challenges of massive data volumes.
