Backup & Recovery and DR for Next Generation Infrastructure
Watch now
Nigel Tozer, Director, CommVault
With many organisations modernising their infrastructure, it’s easy to think that the new systems will be catered for by existing data protection tools, or even that data protection is ‘built in’. In most cases, neither is true. Out of the box these solutions stacks (and others like them) don’t provide the VM and application recovery options and DR that you need in our ‘always on’ world. And if you don’t modernise your backup and recovery processes, you could be missing some game-changing technology.
Modern approaches to protect data on systems such as FlexPod, flash arrays, converged and hyper-converged systems can provide VM and Application aware protection that can increase your ability to recover critical data, simplify recovery and DR processes and help you leverage cloud without the need for separate tools or cloud gateways. It also allows you to streamline dev and test operations and leverage commodity hardware for secondary storage to reduce your costs.
The session will cover:
• Why data protection is important flash and hyper-converged and converged systems
• The value of modernising: expanding your recovery options
• Modern Disaster Recovery for your modern infrastructure
Many organisations have their data protection fragmented between different systems, based on virtual, legacy, cloud and hardware specific tools; choosing modern solutions for your new infrastructure could be the first step to unifying these systems to reduce costs and do more with your data.

Protect Your Software Defined Data Centre Leveraging Public Cloud DR Services
Nigel Tozer – Product Marketing Director, EMEA. Matjaz Sobocan – Solution Specialist, EMEA
Recorded:
Jun 16 2016
33 mins
Join Commvault experts to understand the best practice considerations of leveraging public cloud disaster recovery services when protecting your Software-Defined Data Centre (SDDC).
As awareness of the potential benefits of a Software Defined Data Centre has begun to resonate around CxO’s, the value and importance of disaster recovery provisioning has been challenged by the notion that clustering and high availability could be sufficient to accommodate the recovery needs (i.e. no DR provisioning is required).
In this webinar we'll look at the significant risks and pitfalls that a 'non DR' strategy can pose and learn about the five step programme to optimise your chances of recovery when working with Public Cloud providers.- BrightTALK

Feb 18 2016
42 mins
Cloud was initially pitched as a way to reduce waste and boost agility, but for many, agility has been the main gain. The boost to budgets is often only felt initially by shifting the spend from CAPEX to OPEX, but without careful management those utility bills can become crippling. This session looks a number of ways that are proven to reduce costs with some real-world examples. Even if cost saving isn’t on your agenda, the same tools and processes will also help you to scale quicker and efficiently extend your service catalogue.
The 5 topics we will cover will help you to:
Reduce your spending on infrastructure and licenses
Help you to reduce your Opex cloud billing
Simplify hybrid provisioning processes
Enable new cloud use-cases to keep LOB owners happy
We look forward to seeing you at the session!- BrightTALK

The Five Principles for Data Protection in a Software Defined Data Centre
Nigel Tozer – Product Marketing Director, EMEA. Andrew Tomkins – Solution Specialist, EMEA
Recorded:
Nov 18 2015
45 mins
Server Virtualisation has rapidly become an integral part of the IT landscape for most organisations, with upsides for both the business and the IT department. But, what’s next when it comes to managing your data?
One likely destination is the Software-Defined Data Centre (SDDC). Whilst the definition of the SDDC varies, and analysts debate how close to reality they really are, the consistent theme is the need for a high degree of virtualisation and process automation, driven by software, to deliver infrastructure as a service, in order to deliver benefit to the business.
A software-defined data centre (SDDC) is a data storage facility in which all elements of the infrastructure -- networking, storage, CPU and security – are virtualized and delivered as a service. Deployment, provisioning, configuration and operation of the entire infrastructure is abstracted from hardware and implemented through software.
Understanding the ramifications of the emergence of the SDDC, as well as the benefits, is central to gaining buy-in across an organisation. Join Commvault on the first of a series of webinars: “The Top 5 Principles of Backup Service Optimisation in a Software-Defined Data Centre”. Hosted by experts in the field of information and data management, you’ll increase your knowledge through valuable insights to aid in your transformational planning.- BrightTALK

Orchestrating Harmony: A Practical Guide to Hybrid Cloud
Nigel Tozer, Product Marketing Director EMEA
Recorded:
Jun 18 2015
45 mins
As Cloud use continues to accelerate, IT’s control is becoming more fragmented, with multiple hypervisors and distributed workloads over multiple clouds adding layers of complexity. This leaves the Ops teams with multiple interfaces and difficulty tracking what is going on, with little chance of automating everything that they need to. Due to these issues, data growth and VM sprawl are just as much an issue in public clouds as they are in private clouds; sucking your Opex budget and pushing up costs.
Join Nigel Tozer as he explores how to manage VM lifecycles in a Hybrid cloud; how to leverage automation for DR and Dev & Test functions in the Cloud; why you need to keep tabs on data in the cloud; and the importance of dashboards and reporting.- BrightTALK

Snapshots: Can you keep the beauty but lose the beast?
Nigel Tozer, EMEA Product Marketing Director
Recorded:
Apr 28 2015
38 mins
Let’s be straight about this: snapshots are real beast to tame. Snapshots can devour space, make recovery harder, make protection riskier and lock you into hardware platforms that will drain your budget. It’s the reason why you probably only rely on them for a few critical systems today. But it doesn’t’ have to be this way; they could form the cornerstone of your modern IT data protection.
Reverting to a previous snapshot after a terminal data corruption is a beautiful thing. Near instant, from an almost impact free protection operation. In a perfect world, modern IT would rely on array based snapshots and integrated copy/replication as the only protection method.
In this session, Nigel Tozer will discuss the reality, and show you how to:
- Significantly reduce the cost of array snapshots
- Dramatically simplify the recovery of tier 1 & 2 applications
- De-risk the protection of high workload VMs
- Remove the risk and cost of scripting to manage snapshot integration
- Break disk vendor lock-in
- Enable Cloud DR and Dev & Test- BrightTALK

Meet Your Recovery SLA’s with Automation & Array Snapshots
Nigel Tozer, Director, Commvault
Recorded:
Feb 19 2015
40 mins
As your virtual estate grows and you add critical applications to the environment, a ‘one size fits all’ approach to vm protection is no longer an option. Core applications need to be treated differently to tier 2 or 3 systems, and simple manual tasks in a modest environment become impossible to manage in a growing virtual estate. Automation is also a key component if you are planning to move to a private cloud model.
This session will show you how to:
· Meet Protection/Recovery SLA’s with Automation
· Leverage automation to control vm sprawl
· Improve RPO/RTO with VM & App aware snapshots
· Effectively protect high workload VM’s- BrightTALK
