This document describes the basic concepts and integration guidelines for FalconStor FDS in an EMC NetWorker environment. The document is intended to provide an architectural overview of FalconStor FDS being used with EMC NetWorker and the benefits of a combined solution. 

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. 

Informational applications have become one of the most critical areas of IT activity. How will these challenges be met? This report examines an option -– use of IBM DB2 9.7 as an alternative to Oracle 11g -– that represents a major new opportunity for organizations to meet escalating demand while reducing IT costs. 

The Dell Management Console redefines much of the systems management paradigm, through a holistic, Web browser–based “single pane of glass” approach to managing enterprise-wide IT assets. Read on to learn more. 

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. 

Facing exponential data growth and lengthening backup times, Victaulic Company's tape backup systems could no longer provide the performance or capacity they needed for efficient data protection. For a cost comparable to tape, Victaulic Company implemented a SEPATON S2100-ES2 virtual tape library (VTL) with DeltaStor data deduplication software. 

Tape export is process of moving data from virtual tape to physical tape. Tape stacking allows multiple virtual tapes to be consolidated onto a single physical tape in order to save on tape media consumption. The concept is very simple and also very useful. Please watch this video for examples of how FalconStor VTL functions. 

Welcome to Virtual View, a feature of Xiotech’s Icon Manager that dramatically improves storage management for VMware. Virtual View reduces storage provisioning from dozens of steps to three, enables management from one console instead of three, provisions storage in minutes instead of hours, and reduces time, required expertise, and risk. 

In this very funny though obvious over-dramatization of the weakness of tape as a backup solution, see how tape can end the life of an IT administrator and a 30-minute fix that could be lifesaving. 

This case study outlines how Info Support, a Dutch IT service provider, was able to launch new servers and storage up to 75% faster using virtualization. The challenge was that Info Support wanted to respond to their clients faster by creating an environment where new projects were up and running in a couple of hours. 

Each month many companies, big or small, well known or unknown, experience a data security loss with the potential exposure of thousands to millions of sensitive customer or employee records. This brief examines cryptographic methods, specifically tape data encryption, to combat such security losses.
