  • Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.

  • The Lazy Attacker: Defending Against Broad-based Cyber Attacks with Unified & Collaborative Defenses

    Advanced Persistent Attacks (APTs) get most of the attention from the cyber security community because, as defenders, we want to be vigilant against the most insidious techniques. However, this unilateral mindset ignores a much less interesting reality. Generally, cyber criminals are as lazy as criminals in the “real world.” What do we mean by lazy? Attackers will use the “lowest common denominator” method against the widest range of IP addresses from the same source set of IP addresses - which means that sharing information about their methods with others, and implementing simple defenses are best practices.

    Adjusting your focus from the “shiny object” of APTs to those broad-based threats can help prioritize your own defenses and optimize your incident response program. Attend this webinar to hear directly from Jaime Blasco, Director of AlienVault Labs, on how you can:

    * Understand the common exploit methods of the “lazy attacker”
    * Review the benefits of a collaborative approach to threat intelligence
    * Prioritize defensive tactics and remediation activities
    * Implement a unified, simplified approach to threat management

  • Software Defined Storage. Is it just another buzzword or can the concept bring meaningful change to the way storage is acquired, implemented and used? As vendors race to jump on the "software defined" bandwagon, Storage Switzerland set out to explain the term, provide users with an understanding of how software defined storage can solve many of their current storage challenges and provide a way to decide which vendors are really delivering a software defined storage future.

  • One of the key benefits of running IT as a business is your ability to provide your users with choices. When it comes to storage, you often face both exploding user demand and low utilization rates.

    This session will discuss the Technology Business Management (TBM) framework, which provides you with a mechanism to understand your storage consumption patterns and fully burdened costs, benchmark your storage costs against your peers, and communicate the value of storage to your users to drive accountability.

    You will walk away with a crisp understanding of how you can improve return on storage assets and make informed decisions to balance storage utilization, demand, and cost.
  • When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.

    The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.

    Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security.
  • Is your organization trying to contain costs as Big Data and other initiatives increase the demand for more storage? As the volumes of data continue to increase, so does the need for organizations to cost-effectively manage all their storage assets. In this webinar we will cover multiple options for managing storage. You will learn about discovery of storage assets across SAN, NAS, and multi-vendor platforms. We will discuss practical ways to use trending analysis, forecasting and optimization to cost-effectively address current and future growth requirements. Our discussion will also include an explanation of how integration with other solutions can lead to greater efficiencies through runbook automation as well as incident and configuration management.

  • Build, Buy or Rent? How to implement your optimal cloud storage solution. Jul 16 2013 3:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    For many companies one of the biggest decisions they will make, or have made, when moving to the cloud will be how they implement their cloud storage infrastructure. Issues around ease of access, uptime, security, redundancy, SLA, maintenance, and total cost of ownership drive the decision to one of three options: build, buy, or rent. This webinar will explore these issues and compare them for the three options helping you optimize your plan for your business needs and growth.

  • Drowning in Data and Starving for Information Recorded: Jan 8 2013 45 mins
    The ability to generate and capture various sensor data, communications, and imagery has grown exponentially, and there does not appear to be any change in sight. To effectively extract the maximum benefit from the deluge of data generated today, analysts need to utilize the new generation of analytical tools and human expertise that is rapidly being developed. When properly utilized, these advances are providing today’s analysts with an unprecedented ability to make real-time data-driven decisions as well as improved options to collaborate and share information. However, effective implementation in the era of hyperscale data depends on the ability to manage conventional system technology, and unpredictable volume requirements. An imbalanced analytics system can result in bottlenecks that reduce the value of analytics tools and the enterprise data warehouses (EDW) that power them. As such, it’s critical for organizations to ensure that at either end of the ingest/egest process they build scalable storage and storage processing technology to complement today’s high-speed data warehousing and data analytics technology. This session will detail how new filing system options and cloud infrastructure can improve the performance of analytics applications utilizing actual benchmark tests, and demonstrate new options to collaborate and share information.
  • Using Big Data Tools to Manage the Deluge of ISR Data Recorded: Oct 19 2012 62 mins

  • Policy-Based Data Management, Integrated Rule Oriented Data Grid (iRODS) Recorded: Oct 12 2012 58 mins
    Higher education institutions around the world are in the process of digitizing, indexing and adding searchable metadata to their digital collections. As these data sets expand to hundreds of millions of immutable objects and petabytes of data, there is a need to consolidate and automate to maximize the value of this capital expenditure.

    The Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System (iRODS) is a popular open source policy-based data management system (application) that enables data sharing, publication and preservation and is also capable of implementing an automated data analysis pipeline. For each type of data management application, policies or rules can be applied that control the execution of procedures that enforce desired collection properties. By evolving the policies, a collection can migrate through the stages of the data life cycle.

    DataDirect Networks - Storage Fusion Architecture is a highly scalable storage platform capable of hosting iRODS in a tightly coupled solution with a RAID controller and parallel file system providing an appliance like solution that can scale to multiple-petabytes in a single name space.
