This paper describes how continuous data protection (CDP) technology can bridge various DR methodologies to help organizations overcome the challenges of tape and achieve maximum benefits from their IT investments. 

This whitepaper explores the limitations of tape and traditional disk-based approaches to disaster recovery. It highlights the advantages of deduplication technology in disk-to-disk backup and wide area network (WAN) replication. It also discusses the positive implications of deduplication for remote office backup and tape consolidation. 

Quantum's Encryption Key Manager (Q-EKM) is a centralized key manager application that manages the encryption keys used as part of the LTO Ultrium 4 (LTO-4) drive-based data encryption process. 

Data backup is still the No. 1 pain point for storage administrators. The tips in this guide will help you simplify your backup process and put together a reliable backup and recovery plan. 

This paper is intended to help simplify the process of starting a disaster recovery plan so as not to be so overwhelming. Through some basic steps, businesses can better protect themselves against data loss while working toward a more complete business continuity plan. 

Data deduplication is rapidly becoming a core fundamental of any storage system, and the implications go far beyond backup applications. Take this opportunity to learn the key differences between deduplication technologies available today.

This document is a 7-step guide for making the move from tape to disk backup with deduplication. Within these steps, the Guide provides a concise summary of the downsides of tape backup, and then examines the superiority and economy of second-generation disk backup with data deduplication. 

Though the technological reasons to protect Exchange systems are obvious, there are quantifiable fiscal reasons to protect it as well. Learn how to protect and recover business critical data and applications relevant to your Exchange system. 

Disk-based backup systems fundamentally change the way we do backup and recovery. But the key is to treat disk as disk and not as tape. Solutions need to recognize the intelligent features of disk and take advantage of those features. This webcast explores how to leverage the advantages of disk for best possible backup performance and maximum ROI. 

This bulletin reviews new storage technologies against the value of retaining, or upgrading, your current tape environment. To do this, it establishes a framework of comparison - using a backup/recovery and archive scenario - between the latest disk technologies and the latest iteration of tape storage, LTO-4 technology. 

With companies storing data for longer periods of time to meet compliance regulations and business best practices, the inherent risk of a data breach is growing significantly. Organizations should develop sound encryption key management processes to minimize administrative overhead and maximize the value of data encryption. 

The company’s previous tape system wasn’t meeting Cornerstone’s needs, particularly with 50 percent annual data growth. Cornerstone selected the Quantum Scalar i500 intelligent tape library platform due to its modularity, speed and the ability to move to LTO-4 tapes.
