Move over cloud, big data is here
With all the talk about cloud and big data, it’s hard to tell which comes first; but it just might be a cloud foundation that enables big data applications.
Quantum enhances data protection and management lineup for enterprises
Quantum Corp., provider of data protection and big data management, announced this week general availability of three new products targeted at the enterprise customer backup, archive and management challenges. Enterprise environments are characterized by large, fast-growing data volumes requiring high-capacity storage, extensive scalability, and high performance from their backup and archive solutions. They also need an integrated approach to monitor and manage processes across sites and tiers of storage.

9 Top eDiscovery Trends for 2012
So many people come out with end of the year “Trends” articles that I sometimes skip it. However, there is so much rapid morphing in the eDiscovery industry that if I didn’t share my 2012 trends I’d be a slacker. We can’t have that. The following 9 points are some of the trends you need to know about the complex field of eDiscovery coming into 2012.

Transforming Data Protection with vDPAS: A Paradigm Shift
Traditional data protection approach is challenged by a new breed of vendors with a more effective approach to data protection and availability. It protects multiple systems, environments (physical, virtual and cloud) and applications in a single, highly efficient, virtualized storage pool – the fountain of life conceptualized by Taneja Group over five years ago.
This new approach to data protection and data availability is so radically different from the choices available in the marketplace today that it warrants its own category. Taneja Group calls the new category Virtualized Data Protection and Availability Storage (vDPAS), which enables SLA-driven data protection and data management across the entire production environment – regardless of application, system or deployment model.

HP IBRIX X9730 Storage – Unleashing High Value Archives
Future-proofed archives on scale-out architectures
The IT organization has long been challenged to come up with effective strategies storing important data and content. This is fast becoming much more critical as data evolves into having more value in on-going analysis, future reference, and monetizable reuse, while simultaneously becoming increasingly surrounded by compliance and regulatory requirements. Yet each aspect of data value comes with an even bigger challenge for IT: delivering effective strategies to achieve sufficient and lasting preservation and access, over a longer period of time than ever before.
Unfortunately, it’s more common to see a revolving door process of temporary solutions that must be replaced every few years. These “solutions” are in direct opposition to crafting long-term strategies, and are also responsible for a web of complexity that creates one of the greatest management and operational costs in today’s enterprise data center. Worse yet, the data management practices that are the result of this revolving door storage approach also limit the accessibility and use of growing and aging data. In the age of increasingly critical and value laden data sets, broken storage strategies stand to break the business.
In this technology profile, we’ll look at the consequences of this broken approach in the face of a monumental shift in the value of data and content. We will consider the challenges facing an organization trying to position itself for better long-term storage and meaningful reuse of large amounts of data. We’ll examine one solution that clearly stands out in the face of these challenges – the HP IBRIX X9730 Storage, which has big data storage and high-value archiving directly in its crosshairs.
