Maintaining deployed software systems is one of the most challenging processes in enterprise IT. As software systems are deployed, they compound management and maintenance burdens for IT personnel. Systems that are not maintained correctly can result in increased downtime and expenses. Software appliances are no different. But during this session we'll show you simple and easy it is to use the tools that help you keep your software appliances up to date. You will learn how to handle the authentication, entitlement and access controls required to distribute updates. We will show you a framework for remote appliance configuration. And finally, you will learn how to meet unique remote appliance management needs.

Persystent Suite is an enterprise imaging and self-healing compute solution. Through the use of innovative automation, Persystent is considered by the industry as the fastest imaging and self-healing solution that provides IT Organizations with an affordable option to re-imaging PCs. Root-cause threats such as viruses, malware, zero-days, mis-configurations, and un-authorized changes can be self-healed in seconds rather than costly remediations and re-images. Originally conceived as an imaging product in 2001, the product has evolved to efficiently manage disasters such as failed hard drives to production fast and automated. During 2014 we added a feature that supports the 800-88 NIST standard for secure clear wipe for hard drives that are at end of lease and need to be sent back to the manufacturer. When it comes down to managing a computers configuration state even when disconnected from the network, there isn’t an alternative on the market.
Historically backups have been defined and referenced by the hostname of the physical system being protected. This has worked well when the relationship between the physical host and the operating system was a direct, one to one relationship. Backup processing impact was limited to each physical client and the biggest concern was saturating the network with backup traffic. This was easily managed by limiting the number of simultaneous client backups via a simple setting within the NetBackup policy.
Virtual machine technologies have changed this physical hardware dynamic. Dozens of operating systems (virtual machines) can now reside on a single physical (ESX) host connected to a single storage LUN with network access through a single NIC. When using traditional policy configurations, backup processing randomly occurs with no regard to the physical location of each virtual machine. As backups progress, a subset of ESX servers can be heavily impacted with active backups while other ESX systems sit idly waiting for their virtual machines to be protected. The effect of this is that backups tend to be slower than they need to be and backup processing impact on the ESX servers tends to be random and lopsided. Standard backup policy definitions simply do not translate well into virtual environments.
The NetBackup Virtual machine Intelligent Policy (VIP) feature is designed to solve this problem and more. With Virtual machine Intelligent Policy, backup processing can be automatically load balanced across the entire virtual machine environment. No ESX server is unfairly taxed with excessive backup processing and backups can be significantly faster. Once configured, this load balancing automatically detects changes in the virtual machine environment and automatically compensates backup processing based on these changes. Virtual machine Intelligent Policy places virtual machine backups on autopilot.
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth.
The Asigra solution requires no agents, which inherently makes it easier to install and
support than other backup and recovery solutions.
Backup and recovery software typically requires agents that are installed onto the servers
that a system administrator wants to back up. Even in a modest-sized environment,
agent management can become extremely complex when an administrator is forced to
deal with different operating systems and revision levels. The complexity of agent management
is further complicated by the growing number of applications that also require
agents running on the same servers. This proliferation of agents and its associated drain
on CPU resources is often referred to as “agent pollution”.
