Meeting Demand of High Availability with Advanced Data Protection

IBM delivers scalable, cost-effective solutions for data protection that help organizations support both high-availability applications and traditional workloads. With a single vendor, organizations can meet the demands of always-on applications, while containing cost and complexity.

Master data management: The key to leveraging big data

This white paper explores how MDM’s well-defined approach augments the value of big data by giving it structure and meaning, and how InfoSphere MDM and big-data analytics tools help companies analyze big data, match it to master data and derive actionable information to inform decisions and extract insights.

Data protection for big data environments

The rapidly increasing volume, variety and velocity of data are driving the immediate need for data protection. With 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created every day, organizations cannot wait to establish business-driven protection policies for keeping data safe. The rising volume of data and the growing number of analytics systems storing sensitive data exponentially increases the risk of breaches. IBM® InfoSphere® has evolved information integration and governance to help organizations create and enforce real-time data security and privacy policies to keep data safe.

As organizations plan big data projects, business and IT leaders must recognize that data security cannot simply be added later - it must be built into big data implementations from the start. This ebook walks through the requirements of big data security.

Information Governance Best Practices: Adopt a Use Case Approach

When should you implement integration governance? According to this Gartner research note, you should start now if you are an IT professional considering an initiative like master data management (MDM), e-discovery, information archiving or cloud migration. The need for governance is prompted by a combination of massive data growth, litigation, new data types, scrutiny from a regulatory perspective and new information privacy risks.

Integrating and governing big data

While the term “big data” has only recently come into vogue, IBM has designed solutions capable of handling very large quantities of data for decades, leading the way with data integration, management, security and analytics solutions known for their reliability, flexibility and scalability. The end-to-end information integration capabilities of IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server are designed to help organizations understand, cleanse, monitor, transform and deliver data—as well as collaborate to bridge the gap between business and IT.

6 Reasons to Upgrade Your Database

In an era of big data, you must accommodate a rapidly increasing volume, variety and velocity of data while extracting actionable business insight from that data, faster than ever before. These needs create a daunting array of workload challenges and place tremendous demands on your underlying IT infrastructure and database systems. In many cases, these systems are no longer up to the task—so it’s time to make a decision: use more staff to keep up with the fixes, patches, add-ons and continual tuning required to make your existing systems meet performance goals, or move to a new database solution so you can assign your staff to new, innovative projects that move your business forward. Read the ebook to find out if the time to change your database is now. Register now.

Understanding big data so you can act with confidence

A solid information integration and governance program should include automated discovery, profiling and understanding of diverse data sets. IBM InfoSphere is designed to do all of these things by evolving information integration and governance to meet the challenges presented by big data.

How next-gen DBMS technology is essential to big data

Few organizations have the money to rip out their existing infrastructure to replace it with one that can handle the new load. This solution guide explores how to tackle these challenges, while keeping up with the need for increasingly complex analytics.

Integrating and governing Big Data: Does Big data spell big trouble for integration?

While the term “big data” has only recently come into vogue, IBM has designed solutions capable of handling very large quantities of data for decades. IBM InfoSphere Information Server is designed to help organizations understand, cleanse, monitor, transform and deliver data.

What is this “File Sync” Thing and Why Should I Care About It?

Not so long ago, the office was the only place you could work. But when smartphones and tablets came along, the only thing holding us back from getting work done anywhere, any time was having access to our data. That led to the creation of a whole new class of solutions designed to keep files current across our rapidly proliferating fleets of devices — through a technology known as ‘sync.’ All of a sudden, getting a file from your work laptop to your iPad became as simple as clicking “Save.” So it’s no surprise that 55% of information workers in North America and Europe who use a tablet at work are using file sync and share tools.

The Keys to Securing Data in a Collaborative Workplace

Losing data is costly. According to the Ponemon Institute, the average data breach costs US organizations an estimated $200 per record, or $5.4 million total per breach. And apparently these breaches are equally likely to be from criminal attack as from employee or contractor negligence. It makes sense then that surveys point to data loss via unsecured file sync and share solutions as one of IT’s biggest concerns. IT professionals have spent years learning how to protect their organizations from hackers, but how do you ward off both external and internal threats when employees are seeking ways to collaborate more and more?

Evaluating File Sync and Share Solutions: 12 Questions to Ask about Security

File sync and share can increase productivity, but how do you pick a solution that works for you? There will likely be a number of factors guiding your decision, and if you’re like most businesses, security is high on the list. Download to learn some important questions to ask file sync and share vendors about security.

Symantec and VMware: Virtualizing Business Critical Applications with Confidence

Business-critical applications and the systems they run on must be highly available. A common way to increase application availability in a physical environment is to deploy a traditional high-availability clustering solution. IT administrators can move applications for server maintenance with zero downtime and no data loss. The operating-system isolation that VMware virtualization natively provides makes it simple for a small set of highly consolidated servers to provide very high uptime at reduced administrative cost.
