Griffith University in Queensland has set up a virtualised, tiered storage architecture to cut the cost of deploying a disaster recovery system.
Storage companies are betting a technology once reserved for businesses will appeal to consumers dealing with large files shared by multiple PCs and a need for data protection.
Most companies will not survive an unplanned outage of critical systems exceeding four days, but leave themselves vulnerable due to a lack of planning.
With storage capacities growing by leaps and bounds, the need for effective backup is even more important. We look at your options.
When faced with high-priced options from vendors, one IT team decided to develop its own high-speed backup network. Find out how they did it.
Storage is a serious business, but when things screw up in a chronic manner, sometimes all you can do is cackle louder than Jeanne Little and then get on with cleaning up the mess.
Shoving everything into a hosted environment effectively creates a quick and dirty disaster recovery strategy.
If you think two-thirds of your IT is mission-critical, you're either running an incredibly lean and efficient operation or you haven't got a clue how many applications you have and which ones you need to manage.
There are lots of fiddly little rules surrounding backup and disaster recovery, but some of them are, to be frank, blindingly obvious. At the top of my personal list would be this one: don't check your notebook PC as hold luggage when you get on a plane.
New research suggests that IT managers aren't spending a lot of time stressing over their storage systems, but a little reflection suggests that they probably should be.
We discuss virtualisation and the storage strategies that can transform your disaster recovery plan.
On any list of businesses that can't afford downtime or system failure, power companies have to be close to the top. So when New Zealand electricity and gas generator and retailer Genesis Energy experienced a series of flaws in its backup and recovery systems, it had to act.
In 2004, a study showed backups and recoveries took too long, and the processes consumed too many human resources. To hopefully overcome this issue, ZDNet Australia has compiled a guide for IT managers.
Relying solely on tape backups can give you a false sense of security. Here are some other things you should keep in mind.
Most companies will not survive an unplanned outage of critical systems exceeding four days, but leave themselves vulnerable due to a lack of planning.
With storage capacities growing by leaps and bounds, the need for effective backup is even more important. We look at your options.
Everyone needs backups, but how do you recover a server quickly? We look at some of the options available for snapshot backup and other disaster recovery techniques.
The HP EVA4400 is a Storage Area Network (SAN) system that provides data storage and security on a much larger scale than a simple RAID or NAS system. We found it to be a reliable and scalable high-end data system.
Storage maker Quantum has unveiled two disk-based backup appliances designed as tape replacements for Australian mid-sized office and datacentre use.
GoVault Data Protection removable disk drive from Quantum is a simple solution for small companies wishing to secure their data.
