De-duplicate
data to slash your backup storage needs
John Hope-Bailie, Technical
Director, Demand Data |
| |
Data de-duplication is an emerging
category within the data protection ecosystem that has the potential
to change the entire landscape. It minimises the disk and/or
bandwidth capacities required to store and move data used for
protection purposes. This can significantly reduce direct and
indirect storage costs. But there are numerous choices available and
decisions to be made when taking on this technology. This
presentation seeks to identify and explain these topics as well as
provide insights into making the correct choices. An overview of the
current state of the art is also provided. |

Doing less with less
[ Johannesburg, 9 Feb 2010 ] - The recession has forced most CIOs to
stretch their budgets. But blind acceptance of the 'do more with less'
concept is a recipe for failure. Instead, companies should understand
what thoughtful cost management is, and learn how to do less with less. |
Surviving the 2010 IT budget
[ Johannesburg, 27 Jan 2010 ] - Just about every CIO survived 2009 by
cutting costs to make IT more efficient. However, to remain competitive
in 2010, enterprises will need more than just cost cutting to survive. |
Conference tackles efficiency challenges
[
Johannesburg, 18 Jan 2010 ] - Daryl
Plummer, managing vice-president and chief Gartner fellow, says: "For
many organisations, the economic and budgetary challenges of 2009 drove
important changes in the general governance of IT investment decisions,
accelerating the trend toward greater accountability and transparency. |
