VMware’s vCenter Site Recovery Manager is the market-leading disaster-recovery management product. It ensures the simplest and most reliable disaster protection for all virtualized applications. However, it is not a turn-key DR solution. Architecting your SRM solution requires deep thought and heavy planning. This presentation will help you with planning and architecting your SRM solution as well as addressing specific configuration and installation challenges. Our goal is to help you deploy and maintain a solid SRM solution to enable your DR Plan.

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER▶Symantec Backup Exec 2014 Blueprints - Optimized Duplic...Symantec
This Blueprint is designed to help with customers who are utilising Backup Exec’s deduplication Option to improve back end storage capabilities within a complex backup environment.
Challenges of Legacy Disaster Recovery Methods
Offsite data protection helps organizations plan for disaster recovery by keeping backup copies of important data at one or more additional locations other than the main office. Data is usually transported offsite using removable storage media such as magnetic tape or optical storage.
Companies relying on tape solutions to protect against disaster face several challenges, including tape transport costs, security issues, and the complexities of media management. Many companies are looking for alternatives that allow them to overcome or avoid these challenges, such as methods that copy or replicate data electronically over a WAN/LAN connection to disk storage at a disaster recovery site. Alternatives such as these enable lower costs, improved security, and improved Recovery Point and Recovery Time Objectives (RPOs/RTOs).
Backup Exec’s Optimized Duplication Technology
Backup Exec™ 2014 offers a cost-effective backup replication method known as optimized duplication. Optimized duplication combines the powerful backup and data deduplication technologies in Backup Exec™ 2014 to enable the optimized transfer of data over a LAN/WAN connection from one Backup Exec server to another Backup Exec server. Copying backup data from one Backup Exec server to another using optimized duplication makes the same backup data available for recovery at multiple locations, thereby offering a convenient and cost-effective disaster recovery solution.
Some IT initiatives, such as disaster recovery, are natural fits for cloud computing. Yet it can be challenging to know exactly where to begin when it comes to configuring self-managed recovery plans and replicating virtual machines (VMs) from on-premises to a cloud service provider.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

• vCenter Simple vs Custom Install
• vCenter Appliance or not?
• Where to install SRM
• Configure firewalls to allow communication
– Between Protected & Recovery vCenter & SRM servers
– SRA to talk to storage
– Storage replication traffic

15. Deployment Considerations & Road Blocks
• Installing SRM on different disk other than C:
may cause an error if spaces in path
– D:Program FilesVMwareSite Recovery Manager
• VMware KB Article 2076347
– NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation
– Doesn’t fix the problem
– Use path without spaces

16. Deployment Considerations & Road Blocks
• Third party certificates
– CN = “SRM”
–SAN = server.fqdn
–extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth, clientAuth
– Microsoft’s CA may ignore SAN, use an alternate openssl.cnf
• Database Password for SRM
–Some special characters break installer, ! specifically
• SRA requirements
• Permissions
– Only “Administrator” role is propagated

17. Deployment Considerations & Road Blocks
• Array Pairs require special permissions per vendor
• Protection Groups
–Grouping of datastores (ABR) or VMs (VR)
–Datastore or VM can be a member of only one (1) Protection Group
– Protection Group can be a member of multiple recovery plans
• Recovery Plans
–Can have multiple Recovery Plans for different Tiers or Apps
• VM Boot Priority
– Boot priority of 1-5 at VM level, attribute of VM across ALL Recovery Plans
• VM Boot Dependencies
–ONLY within same boot priority in same Recovery Plan

18. Deployment Considerations & Road Blocks
• Additional Options
– IP changing is an attribute of a VM
• Can set different IPs for both Protected & Recovery sites
• Only One IP per NIC
• Shutdown or Startup Actions
– Pre-Power On: User Prompt or Script on SRM server
– Post-Power On: User Prompt, Script on SRM server, Script/Command within guest
• Suspend VMs at Recovery site
– Use hardware for Test
• Resume standby hosts
– Use DPM to save power & cooling costs

20. Maintaining, Migrating, & Upgrading
• Add Datastores to Protection Groups
–Volume/LUN is member of replication and visible in Array Manager
• Adding VMs to existing Plan
–Configure Protection in Protection Group
• Removing VMs from existing Plan
–Remove Protection in Protection Group
• Removing Datastore from Protection Group
–Remove from replication, refresh Array Manager, delete datastore
•Migrating
– Only install SRM on new server and point to existing database
