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.

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.

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.

Datensicherung virtueller Maschinen mit HP StoreEverBandbibliotheken

Viele Unternehmen suchen nach Lösungen zur Reduzierung des Energieverbrauchs, der Kühlanforderungen und des Serverstellplatzes. Auch die Speicherkapazität ist heutzutage ein wichtiger Aspekt. Der Wechsel zu einer virtualisierten Umgebung entschärft dieses Thema, da er eine Möglichkeit zur Konsolidierung des Rechenzentrums eröffnet. Eine weitere Strategie, die zu diesem Ziel beiträgt, ist die Speicherung der Daten auf preiswerteren bandbasierten Lösungen anstatt auf teuren Festplatten-basierten Speichermedien.

Toad™ for Oracle® Tips and Tricks

I have used Toad™ for 10 years, since I made the leap from Access® to Oracle®. Most of my time is spent in the editor, writing new code or opening and running one of the many snippets I have saved there over the years. Toad makes me more efficient, the latest version reminds me of errors before I even hit compile. Using code review, there is an instructor standing over my shoulder every time I hit format.

Deliver Better Applications Using Database Development Best Practices

Delivering properly functioning, easily maintainable, bugfree code really is harder than it used to be. Not only do development teams have to deal with frequently changing requirements and tight project timelines, they also must find ways to work effectively in distributed project teams, and with larger, more complex database environments than even just a few years ago.

The resulting challenges include:

• Ensuring that the code works properly

• Ensuring that the application functions not only today, but also years into the future

• Dealing with everyday setbacks, such as coding errors and rework, in the most effective way

• Making sure development projects are versioned properly
