In this presentation transcript Brad Blake, IT Director for Boston Medical Group, discusses his organization's rapid growth in storage requirements, relationship with Data Domain, and the benefits achieved from implementing Data Domain systems. 

IBM has created a pair of complementary views to bridge the communication gap between the business and the technical perspectives of security to enable convergence in thought and process. The IBM Security Framework addresses the business view, and the IBM Security Blueprint addresses the technical view. 

This paper provides general information for using Data Domain deduplication storage systems to backup virtual machines deployed with VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3). Topics include an overview of VI3 components and various methods of backing up data in VMDK images and Guest OS files for discrete recovery - either locally or remotely in a DR site. 

This transcript documents a presentation featuring Brad Blake, Director, IT at Boston Medical Center. Mr. Blake will discuss how he initially started working with Data Domain as part of a VMware project. The meat of his presentation focuses on architecting deduplication and virtualisation for best of breed data protection. 

Boston Medical Center details its decision process and successful implementation of Data Domain deduplication storage as well as the economic benefits received by going tapeless for backup and disaster recovery. Brad Blake, IT Director at Boston Medical Center, presented to an audience at Gartner's Data Center Conference. 

This white paper focuses on best practices for implementing an enterprise Active Directory infrastructure using virtualization technology. We will discuss how to perform a full migration of your physical AD infrastructure to a virtualized environment. 

This report covers benchmarked practices within information security and IT audit functions across more than 3,000 organizations that are directly related to better operational and financial outcomes, for managing the integrity of information, compliance with regulatory audit, and business risks related to IT users. 

This whitepaper will provide insight into: a- the communications requirements of three specific industry segments (transportation, energy and the public sector), b- best practices to deliver the services and manage the projects efficiently, and c- innovative solutions and strategies deployed by these industry segments. 

In this paper, Wipro Technologies focuses on the methodology EMC follows for building its Proven Solutions for organizations of all sizes and domains. This paper also demonstrates the methodology using an example of the solution development process for Microsoft Exchange in physical and VMware environments. 

Sun SPARC® Enterprise M4000, M5000, M8000, and M9000 servers are highly reliable, easy to manage, vertically-scalable systems with many of the benefits of traditional mainframes - without the associated cost, complexity, or vendor lock-in. 

New functionality in BIG-IP v10--such as resource provisioning and route domains--coupled with existing administrative domain capabilities enables IT to virtualize application delivery functions across departments. Sharing the investment in a unified application delivery solution across business constituents increases the return on investment. 

Sun's built-in, no-cost Logical Domains (LDoms) virtualization technology allows applications to effectively leverage these processors. This white paper describes how LDoms can be applied in different scenarios to increase application scalability and system utilization.
