As continuous data protection (CDP) is integrated into backup environments, implementations with other backup protection programs may become complex. This E-Guide takes an in-depth look at the options available with Continuous Data Protection, and how to best utilize CDP with existing applications. 

As storage capacity needs grow in SMBs, disk is increasingly being used as a backup storage target. In this FAQ, backup expert W. Curtis Preston, discusses the role of disk-based backup in the SMB space. Curtis takes a closer look at the benefits and cost differentiators of moving from tape to disk for data backup. 

According to industry statistics, the majority of a typical company's data doesn't reside on data center storage -- it lives on the "edge." The edge may be desktop PCs, laptops or even smart phones and PDAs. In this transcript, W. Curtis Preston describes the most effective techniques, tools and best practices for protecting edge or mobile data. 

Protecting data that is not in the primary datacenter amplifies all the traditional challenges of backup - either there is not enough bandwidth to accomplish a remote backup in the window available, or the process of handling and shipping tapes is in the hands of non-IT employees. 

Now more than ever, organizations are looking at re-architecting their backup strategy and are learning that deduplication is necessary to consider in ‘next generation’ backup architecture. This presentation transcript explores some deduplication tips and advice on how to streamline your storage costs. 

W. Curtis Preston, executive editor of the Storage Media Group and independent backup expert, discusses the various options available today for backing up virtual machines including VMware's VCB, third-party products, and the ways that backup software products are evolving to ease virtual machine backups. 

Join Paul Kruschwitz, Director of Enterprise Solutions for Falconstor Software, as he discusses best practices for backup optimization. Learn about the benefits of a virtual tape library (VTL), common problems with backup environments, and the latest Falconstor VTL solutions. 

To evaluate the performance of its solutions, FalconStor commissioned Demartek to validate the performance of the FalconStor VTL solution and its deduplication solutions - as they come from the factory, without any special tuning adjustments. The sustained performance of these solutions is impressive and was measured using conservative data. 

This comprehensive Webcast explores new methods for business continuity and walks you through how to approach and manage the various aspects of creating a continuity strategy with snapshot assisted backup and virtualisation tools. View this Webcast to learn more. 

The Storage Decisions Virtual Seminar, "Backing Up Virtual Machines" addresses the challenges in backing up and recovering virtual machines residing in a virtual infrastructure. 

This world of PC/UNIX system integration demands a product available for the newest PC architectures and is easy to use and easy to manage. Applications normally available on expensive UNIX workstations can be readily accessed from enterprise desktops. 

Solid state drives (SSD) are going to play everywhere in the enterprise—at the storage array level, at the server level and in users’ notebook computers. This webcast discusses the issues involved in integrating SSDs at these three junctions in enterprise storage environments.
