This white paper discusses challenges with backup and recovery of data on network attached storage (NAS) systems as NAS storage continues to grow exponentially. Traditional NAS backups are inefficient and can exceed backup windows. The paper introduces EMC's Avamar solution which uses client-side data deduplication and replication to backup NAS systems faster by reducing the data that needs to be transferred. Avamar is presented as improving NAS backup and recovery by addressing the challenges of data growth, backup times, and resource utilization.

Current economic conditions and double-digit data growth are forcing IT organizations to examine ways to optimize their storage environments. ESG research found that 28% of larger organizations—as measured by the number of production servers—are experiencing storage capacity annual growth rates in the 31-50% range, and 24% stated over 50% growth1
Figure 1. Annual Growth Rate of Data Storage, by Number of Production Servers (see Figure 1). Capacity glut has created several problems, including an increase in storage system costs, the need to improve backup and recovery processes, difficulty keeping up with data growth, and a shortage of physical data center space. The bottom line is that rising storage volume requirements are forcing organizations to take more aggressive steps to stem further growth.

9 Steps to Successful Information Lifecycle Management: Best Practices for Efficient Database Archiving
Executive Summary
Organizations that use prepackaged ERP/CRM, custom, and third-party applications are seeing their production databases grow exponentially. At the same time, business policies and regulations require them to retain structured and unstructured data indefinitely. Storing increasing amounts of data on production systems is a recipe for poor performance no matter how much hardware is added or how much an application is tuned. Organizations need a way to manage this growth effectively.
Over the past few years, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) has promoted the concept of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) as a means of better aligning the business value of data with the most appropriate and cost-effective IT infrastructure—from the time information is added to the database until it can be destroyed. However, the SNIA does not recommend specifi c tools to get the job done or how best to use tools to implement ILM.
This white paper describes why data archiving provides a highly effective application ILM solution and how to implement such an archiving solution to most effectively manage data throughout its
life cycle.
Data-Ed Online: Approaching Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Â
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of high quality. Determining how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing Data Quality management effectively in support of business strategy. This, in turn, allows for speedy identification of business problems, the delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues. Organizations must realize what it means to utilize Data Quality engineering in support of business strategy. This webinar will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges often can trace the root of the problem to poor Data Quality. Showing how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This, in turn, allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from re-occurring.
Learning Objectives:
Help you understand foundational Data Quality concepts based on the DAMA Guide to Data Management Book of Knowledge (DAMA DMBoK), as well as guiding principles, best practices, and steps for improving Data Quality at your organization
Demonstrate how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in poor Data Quality

Container-based technology has experienced a recent revival and is becoming adopted at an explosive rate. For those that are new to the conversation, containers offer a way to virtualize an operating system. This virtualization isolates processes, providing limited visibility and resource utilization to each, such that the processes appear to be running on separate machines. In short, allowing more applications to run on a single machine. Here is a brief timeline of key moments in container history.

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).

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.
