Top 10 Trends for 2016 Business Intelligence

Data is changing the conversation—in boardrooms, in the media, and in social media. People are visualizing their data to explore questions, uncover insights, and share stories with both data experts and non-experts alike. As data usage grows, even more people will turn to data with both professional and personal questions. And employers will look for candidates who can think critically with data. Visual analytics will serve as the common language, empowering people to reach insights quickly, collaborate meaningfully, and build a community around data.

Addressing Evolving Database Challenges with New Technologies

More data has been produced in the last 10 years than all previous decades combined. This increase in data volumes has introduced an entirely new set of challenges for DBAs around performance and availability. To better understand these challenges we carried out a survey of IT decision makers in companies with employees of 500 or more. Check out the results of this survey to see what challenges you share.

Reliable Data Protection Designed for Virtualized Environments

Organizations are modernizing their data centers so that they can provision IT services faster, strengthen security and control, and lower operating costs. While building modern data centers, organizations invest in server virtualization, modern storage applications, and cloud-based services. However, businesses are facing new demands from end users, including access to data and applications at all times and systems with no downtime or data loss. In addition, they are facing exponential data growth annually.

Building scalable architectures with Veeam and Cisco UCS C3000 storage servers

This whitepaper is intended for a technical audience that understands how Veeam® Backup & Replication™ works. Additional knowledge about Cisco® UCS® and Cisco Unified Fabric is useful but not required.

Veeam Backup & Replication provides an architecture where different components can be scaled out simply by adding additional components. To maximize backup and restore performance for the entire system, the Veeam Proxy and Repository roles need to be balanced. Doing so allows Veeam to provide availability for the data, ensuring the lowest recovery time and point objectives (RTPO™). A performance-optimized architecture is key to reach that goal. This whitepaper will rely on the following simplified model of a modern data center.

Veeam Backup & Replication v8: Availability for Oracle Environments

Oracle databases are among the most important applications in many environments. Relational databases are used for custom applications developed internally by a company, or as a database backend for commercial applications deployments. In both scenarios, data registered in Oracle databases require a proper design for their availability needs. This involves specific virtualization capabilities like HA, and proper data protection. Availability for BCA is not something that can be applied afterwards as an add-on, but instead a critical component that should be planned for and designed into the overall plan.

A Blueprint for Secure Mobile Workspaces

The concept of “remote work”, or teleworking, has become an increasingly important concept for organizations attempting to become more flexible and agile, while driving down costs. IDC reports that the U.S. mobile worker population will grow at a steady rate over the next five years, increasing from 96.2 million in 2015 to 105.4 million mobile workers in 2020. By the end of the forecast period, IDC expects mobile workers will account for nearly three quarters (72.3%) of the total U.S. workforce.

Window 10 Application Compatibility

One of the biggest reasons why organizations have largely held off on migrating their enterprises to Windows 8 is that operating system migrations are a complex, costly, and risky undertaking. Not only are there costs associated with application compatibility testing and remediation, but there are also potential negative impact to end users and critical business processes.

Application and Data Availability with Veeam and NetApp

In this technical whitepaper, Shawn Lieu and Michael Cade will guide you through three scenarios where Veeam Backup & Replication and NetApp technologies can be leveraged to achieve maximum application and data availability. One of the best ways to protect data and provide availability is to follow the “3-2-1 rule”— keep three copies of your data, stored on two different sets of media, with at least one copy stored off site. Implementing this level of availability can be somewhat challenging and requires planning ahead.
