Managing and protecting critical data across servers and applications in multiple locations around the globe is challenging. And the more decentralized and complex your infrastructure, the more difficult it is to manage your data. The potential bad news? Data loss, site outages, revenue loss, and potential non-compliance with regulations.
But here’s the good news: centralizing data protection in the cloud can make all the difference. That’s why you should join our webinar and hear from storage expert, George Crump, from Storage Switzerland and Druva’s W. Curtis Preston, Chief Technologist, as they discuss:
• Why protecting a distributed data center is challenging with traditional methods
• How a cloud-centralized backup strategy can be a game changer for your organization
• How Druva can help you drastically improve data protection quality, reduce costs, and simplify global management and configuration?
We explore some of the top benefits of data center colocation, and why it is a very big deal for your business. If your current data center is becoming too costly, is running low on expandable space, or lacks redundancy, then colocation is a very good option to consider.
Some of the benefits include:
-Higher redundancy levels
-CAPEX savings
-Better scalability and room to grow
If colocation is something you are beginning to consider for your business, we encourage you to read through this presentation to learn more! It's definitely one of the most worthwhile business decisions you can make.
Cloud computing environments offer benefits to business and IT departments that aren't easily gained through the use of traditional IT infrastructures. Here are five of the most common applications for cloud computing right now.
Cloud computing may be a confusing subject because of the number of different businesses offering what they call “cloud computing,” but it's not as complicated as it sounds. There are three types of cloud computing infrastructures, each with its own benefits.

More and more organizations are adopting multi-cloud strategies to provide greater flexibility, cost savings, and performance optimization. Even when organizations commit to a single cloud provider, they often have data and applications spread across different cloud regions to support different business units or geographies. The result of this is a highly distributed infrastructure that makes finding and accessing the data needed for reporting and analytics even more challenging.
The Denodo Platform Multi-Location Architecture provides quick and easy managed access to data while still providing local control to the 'data owners' and complying with local privacy and data protection regulations (think GDPR and CCPA).
In this on-demand webinar, you will learn about:
- The challenges facing organizations as they adopt multi-cloud data strategies
- How the Denodo Platform provides a managed data access layer across the organization

Webinar: The Three Reasons Cloud Backup is Broken and How to Fix ItStorage Switzerland
The cloud was supposed to be the answer to IT’s backup dilemma; instead, it in some ways has made the situation worse. In this on demand webinar Storage Switzerland and Microsoft Azure have a roundtable discussion on what’s gone wrong with cloud backup and how to fix it. In this webinar we cover the three problems with cloud backup:
* Doesn’t eliminate the on-premises infrastructure; it replaces it with a new one.
* Doesn’t protect Hybrid IT. Solutions are often on-premises focused or cloud-focused. IT needs one integrated solution.
* Creates a problematic ROI calculation. Egress calculations are not factored into the cost, making understating the cost of a cloud backup solution very difficult.
After a careful examination of the problem, the team will discuss ways to address these problems to create an infrastructure-less data protection environment. Attendees to the live webinar can ask their specific cloud backup questions directly of the panel and get expert answers immediately.
Webinar: Using the Cloud to Fix Backup's Blind Spot - Endpoint Data ProtectionStorage Switzerland
Many data centers unwittingly have a blind spot in their backup strategy, endpoints like laptops and other devices are left exposed. Most organizations have no formal endpoint data protection strategy even though studies indicate that over 60% of data on endpoints is unique to that device. In most cases, there is no centralized data protection strategy for endpoints.
IT is counting on users to protect their data, but the reality is that the organization needs a centralized endpoint data protection strategy that fixes backup's blind spot.
Join Storage Switzerland and Infrascale for this on demand webinar to learn how to create an endpoint data protection strategy that leverages the cloud to fix the backup blind spot. The webinar also includes a demo of the solution, so you can see how efficiently IT can protect endpoints without disrupting end users.

Panel Discussion: Is Computational Storage a Better Path to Extreme Performance?Storage Switzerland
Vendors are re-writing software and adding custom hardware in an attempt to not bottleneck extremely low latency NVMe Flash and Storage Class Memory technologies. Eventually, they all are at the mercy of physics. Data has to traverse an internal and sometimes and external network so the computing tier can process it. Computational Storage offers an alternative by performing at least some of the processing on the storage device itself, eliminating most of the network activity.
Join Storage Switzerland's Lead Analyst, George Crump as he leads a panel of computational storage experts to include NGD System's Scott Shadley, ScaleFlux's Thad Omura, and Samsung's Pankaj Mehra as preview the Computational Storage Workshop at the Flash Memory Summit on Thursday, August 8th.
Webinar: Complete Your Cloud Transformation - Store Your Data in The CloudStorage Switzerland
Organizations are moving to the cloud but according to a recent Osterman Research study, only 14% of companies have completed that transformation.

Webinar: Designing a Storage Consolidation Strategy for Today, the Future and...Storage Switzerland
Most storage consolidation strategies fail because they attempt to consolidate to a single piece of storage hardware. To successfully consolidate storage, IT professionals need to look at consolidation strategies that worked. Server consolidation was VMware’s first use case. It was successful because instead of consolidating hardware, VMware consolidated the environment under a single hypervisor (ESXi) and console (vCenter) but still provided organizations with hardware flexibility. A successful storage consolidation strategy needs to follow a similar formula by providing a single software solution that controls a variety of storage hardware, but that software also has to extract maximum performance and value from each hardware platform on which it sits.
Join Storage Switzerland and StorOne in which we discuss how to design a storage consolidation strategy for today, the future and the cloud.
Webinar: Is It Time to Upgrade Your Endpoint Data Strategy?Storage Switzerland

Join Storage Switzerland and SwiftStack, a Splunk technology partner, for our webinar where our panel of experts will discuss the value of having Splunk analyze larger datasets while providing insight into overcoming infrastructure cost and complexity challenges through Splunk enhancements like SmartStore.
Backup software is continuously improving. Solutions like Veeam Backup and Replication deliver instant recoveries, enabling virtual machine volumes to instantiate directly on the backup device, without having to wait for data to transfer back to primary storage. These solutions can also move older backups to higher capacity, lower cost object storage or cloud storage systems. To deliver meaningful performance during instant recovery without exceeding the backup storage budget requires IT to re-think its backup storage architecture.
Modern backup processes need high performance, low capacity systems to deliver high-performance instant recovery, as well as high-capacity, modest performance systems to store backup data long term and software to manage data placement for the most appropriate recovery performance while not breaking the budget.
It is 2019, why are we still backing up production storage? The simple answer is that most production storage systems can provide some level of data protection but they can’t fully replace backup. It's time to consider what backup independence means. The technology is there for production storage to replace backup but most organizations haven’t fully leveraged it. Join Storage Switzerland and ClearSky Data for our webinar to learn how to design a self-protecting production storage infrastructure that not only protects data but replaces backup.
Join us to learn:
•. The difference between data protection and backup
•. Why most production systems can’t replace backup
• How to architect a production system that is fully protected and achieves backup inde-pendence
For over a decade Network Attached Storage (NAS) was the go to file storage device for organizations needing to store large amounts of unstructured data. But unstructured data is changing. While large file use cases are still prevalent, small file use cases are becoming more dominant. Workloads like artificial intelligence, analytics and IoT are typically driven by millions, if not billions of small files.
Object Storage is often hailed as the heir apparent but is it? Can file systems be redesigned to continue to support traditional NAS workloads while also supporting modern, small file and high velocity workloads? Join Storage Switzerland and Qumulo for our webinar, “NAS vs. Object — Can NAS Make a Comeback,” to learn the state of unstructured data storage and if NAS file systems can provide a superior alternative to object storage.
Join us on our event to learn
•. Why traditional NAS solutions fall short
•. Why object storage systems haven't replaced NAS
• How to bridge the gap by modernizing NAS file systems
•. Live Q&A with file system and NAS experts
The cloud seems like a logical destination for backup data. It is by definition off-site, and the organization no longer needs to worry about allocating valuable floor space to secondary data storage. The problem is that most cloud backup solutions fall short of delivering enterprise class data protection.
Most cloud backup solutions are too complicated to set up and upgrade, don't provide complete platform support, don't provide flexible recovery options, can't meet the enterprises RTO/RPO requirements and don't provide a class of support that enables organizations to lower their operational expense.
In this live webinar Storage Switzerland and Carbonite discuss the five critical capabilities that enterprises, looking to move to cloud backup, need to make sure their solution has.
Join us for this event to learn:
1. Why switch to the cloud for enterprise backup?
2. The five critical capabilities enterprises MUST have in cloud backup solutions. What they are and why enterprises need them.
3. Why and where most solutions miss the mark
4. How Carbonite Server delivers the five critical capabilities
Webinar: Overcoming the Shortcomings of Legacy NAS with Microsoft AzureStorage Switzerland
Most organizations use Network Attached Storage (NAS) to store data, but the modern workforce and organization expect more capabilities than what the typical NAS can provide. Also, as organizations themselves become more distributed, the idea of a single centralized file server with users tunneling through virtual private networks won’t scale. The common alternative, putting a NAS in each remote office offers problems of its own when IT tries to make sure the data is protected and made available to the right users at the right time.
Join Storage Switzerland and Nasuni for our webinar “Providing Global File Services Using Microsoft Azure.” By attending this event, you’ll learn:
1. The shortcomings of the Legacy NAS
2. The Cloud Advantage
3. Where the Cloud Needs Help and How to Get it
Webinar: 3 Steps to be a Storage Superhero - How to Slash Storage CostsStorage Switzerland
Reducing or a least slowing the growth of storage costs is a top priority facing IT organizations in 2019. In this live webinar with Storage Switzerland and SolarWinds, you will learn the three steps IT professionals can take to lower storage costs WITHOUT buying more storage (the typical vendor answer). The biggest challenges are that IT professionals don't arm themselves with the tools they need to be successful, take the next step in their career path and of course, save their company money.
Join our on demand webinar and learn:
1. How to Eliminate/Resolve Storage Problems - Not Throw Hardware at the Problem
2. Plan and be prepared for capacity growth and performance demands
3. How to manage multiple vendor's storage systems without replacing them
NVMe storage systems and NVMe networks promise to reduce latency further and increase performance beyond what SAS based flash systems and current networking technology can deliver. To take advantage of that performance gain however, the data center must have workloads that can take advantage of all the latency reduction and performance improvements that NVMe offers. Vendors emphatically state that NVMe is the next must-have technology, yet many still continue to provide SAS based arrays using traditional networks.
How do IT planners know then, that investing in NVMe will truly provide their organizations the benefits of NVMe for their demanding applications and see a measurable return on investment? Just creating a test environment to perform an NVMe evaluation can break the IT budget!
Register now to join Storage Switzerland, Virtual Instruments, and SANBlaze as we look at the state of the data center and provide IT planners with the information they need to decide if NVMe is an investment they should make now or if they should wait a year or more. The key is determining which applications can benefit from NVMe-based approaches.
In this event, IT professionals will learn
- About NVMe, NVMe Storage Systems and NVMe over Fabric Networking
- The Performance Potential of NVMe Storage and Networks
- What attributes are needed for a workload to take advantage of NVMe
- Why NVMe creates problems for current IT testing strategies
- Why a Workload Simulation approach is the only practical way to test NVMe
- How to build a storage performance validation practice
Hyperconverged Infrastructure is supposed to simplify the data center by creating an environment that automatically scales as new applications and workloads are added to it. The problem is that the current generation of HCI solutions can only address specific use cases like virtual desktops or tier 2 applications. First generation HCI solutions don’t have the per node power to accommodate enterprise workloads and tier 1 applications. The organization needs a next generation HCI solution, HCI 2.0, that can address HCI 1.0 shortcomings and fulfill the original promises of HCI; Lower costs, faster innovation, simpler scale, single vendor and unified management. The combination enables HCI 2.0 to handle a variety of storage intensive workloads.

Webinar: Designing Storage Architectures for Data Privacy, Compliance and Gov...Storage Switzerland
Managing data is about more than managing capacity growth; organizations today need to adhere to increasingly strict data privacy, compliance and governance regulations. Privacy regulations like GDPR and California’s Consumer Privacy Act place new expectations on organizations that require them to not only protect data but also organize it so it can be found and deleted on request. Traditional backup and archive are ill-equipped to help organization adhere to these new regulations.
In this webinar join Storage Switzerland and Hitachi Vantara for a roundtable discussion on the meaning of these various regulations, the impact of them on traditional storage infrastructures and how to design a storage architecture that can meet today’s regulations as well as tomorrows.

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”.

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.

91mobiles recently conducted a Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey in which we asked over 3,000 respondents about the TV they own, aspects they look at on a new TV, and their TV buying preferences.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024

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.

4. What is the Distributed Data
Center
● Multiple Data Centers
● Branch Offices w/o Data
Centers
● Contractor Offices
● Remote Employees
5. Impact on Data
Protection
● Data is everywhere
● Users create unique data in
every location
○ ...and on every device
● Critical Applications are
distributed but still have strict
SLAs
6. Understanding Legacy Approaches
● Back Everything up to Primary Data
Center
○ Agents or media servers in branch
offices to central backup server
○ Primary backup server and backup
becomes critical
○ Restores to other locations must to
back through the original branch
● Backup at Remote / Branch
Independently
○ Full-scale backup application
and storage at remote
○ Replicated to Primary but not
“known” by the primary
backup application
7. Can the Cloud Save Us?
● Use a legacy approach but
replicate to cloud storage
○ Management of process is still
on-premises
○ Creation and storing of indexes
also on-premises
○ Most legacy solutions have poor
backup tiering capabilities
8. Can the Cloud Save Us?
● Use a Cloud Specific Backup Application
○ All or most data is in cloud
○ Recovery, typically, can be in the cloud
(DRaaS) or on-premises
○ Management is centralized
○ Most don’t fully support cloud resources
■ Don’t tier within cloud storage types
■ Don’t use scale-out compute to manage
indexes, schedules, deduplication
9. Filling in the Cloud
Missing Link
● Leverage all available cloud resources
○ Cloud storage (all tiers)
○ Cloud computing for deduplication,
index management, eDiscovery, etc…
○ In cloud recovery and on-premises
○ Single hop recovery to any location in
the enterprise
