- Backup and IT Transformation – What Lies Ahead
-
Yes, folks, we’ve reached an inflection point! Maybe it was sparked by Apple’s iCloud announcement earlier this summer or the more predictable or natural effect of technology adoption as explained by Roger’s diffusion of innovations theory, or a combination thereof. It doesn’t really matter. The important thing is we are starting to think and talk ... Continue Reading » - The Backup Revolution: Sound and Fury, or Real Change?
-
“Everybody keeps telling me about the huge changes that are taking place in the backup market, but it feels like I’m doing exactly the same things in exactly the same way as I was 10 years ago. Where’s the revolution?” When a backup administrator first said this to me, I was floored. After all, in ... Continue Reading » - PBBA – A New Twist on a Popular Backup Approach
-
A recent market analysis report from IDC shines a bright spotlight on the rapidly growing PBBA market. And while PBBA doesn’t roll off the tongue like PB&J quite yet, it has all the signs of becoming just as much a popular favorite – well, at least among IT folks. Just consider the IDC stats/projections about ... Continue Reading » - Understanding the Paradigm Shift in Backup Approaches for Virtual Environments
-
It goes without saying that virtualization has become the new standard and foundation for delivering IT applications. So, if your organization hasn’t gone through this type of paradigm shift yet, consider this fair warning. Organizations of all sizes from SMBs to large enterprises are looking to cut IT-related OPEX costs while at the same time ... Continue Reading » - Inside Avamar: Global Client Deduplication
-
I spend a lot of time talking to people about Avamar. I think it is a great application that pretty radically reinvents backup architectures. It does so many things well, and has consistently been ahead of the curve in terms of delivering advanced backup technologies. For example, Avamar was one of the first to market ...

One of the things I truly love about my job is the interaction I get to have with customers. Whether it’s at a hands-on lab at industry events like VMworld, an EMC Executive Briefing Center or some other locale, being able to talk with customers about their environments — hearing firsthand what’s working and what’s ...

As any good wife would do, my wife has been dragging me to yoga classes over the last year and a half. Of course, she is doing this because she is concerned about my health and well-being like any good wife would be. At first I was okay with this. I mean, how bad it ...

-
I have been spending a lot of time with TSM accounts lately, so I thought I would take the opportunity to discuss some of the gotchas and lessons learned from these environments, as they moved from a tape-centric backup environment to a disk based backup environment using EMC Data Domain technology. The first and ... Continue Reading » - The Next Step Forward For Mainframe Virtual Tape: DLm6000
-
Mainframe tape is a funny thing. Or at least it can look funny to a person that doesn’t work with mainframes. Funny because mainframe tape does a bunch of things. In the open systems world, life is simple by comparison. Tape does (or did!) basically one thing: backup. Yes, you could argue that it was ...

-
Over the last little while, we have become used to seeing discussions of data and storage for Big Data.
