The world’s information is doubling every two years. In 2011 the world created a staggering 1.8 zettabytes. By 2020 the world will generate 50 times the amount of information and 75 times the number of "information containers", while IT staff to manage it will grow less than 1.5 times. This session introduces students to various storage networking, & business continuity terminologies.
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”.

What is NetBackup appliance? Is it just NetBackup pre-installed on hardware?
The answer is both yes and no.
Yes, NetBackup appliance is simply backup in a box if you are looking for a solution for your data protection and disaster recovery readiness. That is the business problem you are solving with this turnkey appliance that installs in minutes and reduce your operational costs.
No, NetBackup appliance is more than a backup in box if you are comparing it with rolling your own hardware for NetBackup or if you are comparing it with third party deduplication appliances. Here is why I say this…
NetBackup appliance comes with redundant storage in RAID6 for storing your backups
Symantec worked with Intel to design the hardware for running NetBackup optimally for predictable and consistent performance. Eliminates the guesswork while designing the solution.
Many vendors will talk about various processes running on their devices to perform integrity checks, some solutions even need blackout windows to do those operations. NetBackup appliances include Storage Foundation at no additional cost. The storage is managed by Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) and presented to operating system through Veritas File System. Why is this important? SF is industry-leading storage management infrastructure that powers the most mission-critical applications in the enterprise space. It is built for high-performance and resiliency. NetBackup appliance provides 24/7 protection with data integrity on storage provided by the industry leading technology.
The Linux based operating system, optimized for NetBackup, harden by Symantec eliminates the cost of deploying and maintaining general purpose operating system and associated IT applications.
NetBackup appliances include built-on WAN Optimization driver. Replicate to appliances on remote sites or to the cloud up to 10 times faster on across high latency links.
Your backups need to be protected. Symantec Critical System Protection provides non-signature based Host Intrusion Prevention protection. It protects against zero-day attacks using granular OS hardening policies along with application, user and device controls, all pre-defined for you in NetBackup appliance so that you don’t need to worry about configuring it.
Best of all, reduce your operational expenditure and eliminate complexity! One patch updates everything in this stack! The most holistic data protection solution with the least number of knobs to operate.
Edge computing has been gaining popularity as it defines a model that brings compute and storage closer to where they are consumed by the end-user. By being closer to the end-user a better experience can be provided with a reduction in overall latency, lower bandwidth requirements, lower TCO, more flexible hardware/software model, while also ensuring security and reliability. In this talk, Abhishek discusses aligning Apache CloudStack with this evolving cloud computing model and supporting Edge Zones, which can be also looked upon as lightweight zones, with minimal resources.
Abhishek Kumar is a committer of the Apache CloudStack project and has worked on the notable features such as VM ingestion, CloudStack Kubernetes Service, IPv6 support, etc. He works as a Software Engineer at ShapeBlue.

CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2022 took place on 14th-16th November in Sofia, Bulgaria and virtually. The day saw a hybrid get-together of the global CloudStack community hosting 370 attendees. The event hosted 43 sessions from leading CloudStack experts, users and skilful engineers from the open-source world, which included: technical talks, user stories, new features and integrations presentations and more.
This document discusses information security in the datacenter and whether it is an internal affair. It summarizes key findings from 2010-2012 regarding security in virtualized datacenters. The main risks of virtualization in the datacenter are discussed, including loss of separation of duties, vulnerabilities in privileged software layers, incorrect virtual network configuration exposing isolation, and increased impact of denial of service attacks. The document concludes that just because an organization can consolidate servers virtually does not mean it should without understanding additional security risks and mitigations. It also discusses three styles of securing applications in public and private datacenters: relying on infrastructure security, running own controls inside the datacenter, or requiring all controls separate from the datacenter/cloud.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Why Security-Grade Servers and Storage?

Security Grade
Servers and Storage
The ROI Case
Have you ever heard the term “security grade”?
The answer is probably “No”, because traditionally not much emphasis
has been given to the requirements of servers and server-storage units
(a.k.a. NVR’s) destined for security environments. It’s fairly common for
integrators and end-users to source their server products from large,
well-known computer manufacturers. Perhaps the machine is specified
with higher speed, multi-core processors, powerful graphics cards,
commercial grade hard drives and higher output power supplies than an
application might call for to provide some buffer.
On the surface, and even under the hood, servers
look pretty much alike.
But you have to go not only under the hood, but inside the engine and its processor.
Security grade means that a unit is built and configured for the specific needs of the
security application. With multiple video streams destined for the server or storage
appliance, units are constantly processing and storing information. It’s always on, as
opposed to the environments where most consumer and commercial grade products are
deployed. And, just like in data center environments, throughput matters.

Security Grade Servers and Storage
White Paper | October 1, 2016
So what does a security grade server/storage product look like?
A number of factors come into play, but Proper Product Selection is the essential piece.
Questions to ask:
• What Video Management System (VMS) is being used? They all have various requirements that affect the processor decision.
• How many incoming and outgoing video streams?
• What compression type will be prominent?
• What is the likely bit rate? Will it be set for variable or constant for most cameras?
• Will panoramic cameras be deployed requiring dewarping or stitching?
• What is the retention requirement?
• Is there a preference for Operating System?
• How many client viewing stations are anticipated and what is the likely video display mode on them?
• What is the likelihood of system expansion that might affect this machine?
• Is performance monitoring desired?
• What is the network topology/requirements of the project? Single site, centralized or multiple systems? Multi-sites, multiple systems?
A company offering security grade products will ask these questions and guide the customer to intelligent choices.

Don’t be Afraid of RAID
Most RAID enabled servers come from the factorywith the RAID configuration set, but not completely initialized, costing more unplanned time. Initializa-
tion can take several hours, and best practice suggests that a unit not be entered into service until the build is complete. Knowledgeable manufacturers
will pre-configure the RAID, insuring the build is completed in a non-interrupted fashion. The unit maythen proceed out ofthe box directly into service, with
the userfeeling confident that it will work as planned.
Cameras monitor the scene?
Who’s monitoring the recorder?
Increasingly, security professionals are discovering the value of monitoring
their security infrastructure—network, power, devices and appliances.
When it comes to servers and storage, the key components that can and
should be monitored are:
System level components
• Processor for performance and temperature
• Memory, cooling and power supply
Storage
• Hard drive monitoring for capacity and potential failures
Network
• Utilization and throughput on network ports
Device Monitoring
• Ability to monitor other devices on the network: cameras, switches
• 3rd
party integration from VMS software
Monitoring can identify problems before they have catastrophic effects
and cause needless expense and inconvenience. Security grade involves
having the hooks in place to understand the physical and performance
parameters of critical hardware.

Security Grade Servers and Storage
White Paper | October 1, 2016
The Value of Security Grade
Security grade means spending a little more up front to save in a big way during the lifetime of a unit.
Compare your security investment (extra cost to buy “security grade”) = X with the following areas of cost recovery:
Description Example Savings
Operating system configuration time: 387 mouse clicks @ 15 seconds/click = 1 ½ hours 1.5 hours @ $100/hour = $150.00
VMS installation and configuration time 1 hour @ $100 = $100.00
Reduced out-of-box failures – replacement means delay and an extra service/install visit Cost of truck roll = $500.00
Optimized throughput – 10% performance gain is typical, allowing fewer required units $5000 original cost x 10% = $500.00
Identification of actual system problems
Description Example Savings
Reduced troubleshooting time: 1 hour @ $100 = $100 per occurrence
Reduction in truck rolls due to having proper parts cost of truck roll = $500.00
Identification of impending system problems
Description Example Savings
Pre-emptive maintenance vs. unit replacement Unit cost = $5000
Integrator cost (passed through) to support non-warrantied systems $5000 amortized over 5 years = $1000/year
2 additional truck rolls to pull and replace $500 x 2 = $1000
Effect of out of service unit – lost video, reduced retention time, increased liability
Cost to provision spare or standby units @ $5000
Potential Savings – Priceless
Not all of the above will materialize in an installation, and, in fact, none of these may. However, the total risk exposure may be several times the cost of
the unit. Doesn’t it make sense to pay a small premium for “security grade”?
Going through the thought process of identifying areas of cost recovery vs. the differential to purchase security grade will not only demonstrate a
compelling ROI, but also deliver peace of mind that the security system is that much stronger. And what’s that worth?
