Veeam Backup & Replication v8: Designing and planning backup repository performance

Veeam® Backup & Replication™ features a distributed architecture with backup repositories as a target location for backups. This helps to decrease the load of a backup server and speed up backup, restore and replication to remote locations over the network. A proper backup repository design is essential to succeed with any Veeam Backup & Replication project.

VM-Backup: Veeam vs. herkömmliche Backup-Tools

Herkömmliche Backup-Tools werden den heutigen Anforderungen an das Always-On Business™ nicht gerecht. Sie wurden für physische Backups entwickelt und brauchen oft Stunden oder sogar Tage, um Vorgaben für Wiederherstellungszeiten (Recovery Time Objectives, RTOs) und Wiederherstellungspunkte (Recovery Point Objectives, RPOs) zu erfüllen. Veeam® Backup & Replication™ unterstützt Unternehmen unter dem Motto Availability for the Modern Data Center™ dabei, Vorgaben für Wiederherstellungszeiten und -punkte (RTPO™) von weniger als 15 Minuten für ALLE Anwendungen und Daten zu realisieren.

Fuzz Testing Maturity Model

Fuzz testing is an industry-standard technique for locating unknown vulnerabilities in software. Fuzz testing is mandatory portion of many modern secure software development life cycles (SDLCs), such as those used at Adobe, Cisco Systems and Microsoft. This document provides a framework to assess the maturity of your processes, software, systems and devices. At the heart of this document is a vendor-agnostic maturity model for fuzz testing that maps metrics and procedures of effective fuzz testing to maturity levels. The maturity model is a lingua franca for talking about fuzzing, allowing different organizations to communicate effectively about fuzzing without being tied to specific tools.

The Fuzz Testing Maturity Model (FTMM) gives builders and buyers a set of standard levels for communicating about fuzz testing.

Synopsys solutions help deliver a more comprehensive security offering for the SDLC by adding black box testing capabilities, including the Codenomicon Defensics® tool for file and protocol fuzz testing, and the Codenomicon AppCheck™ tool for software composition analysis and vulnerability assessment.

Understanding Verification, Validation and Certification

Cybersecurity and communication robustness have become increasingly bigger concerns as technology has continued to improve and systems have become more complex. Each attempt to expand the networking and communication capabilities of devices have brought new features and convenient solutions for end users, along with new security and robustness challenges.

Synopsys solutions help deliver a more comprehensive security offering for the SDLC by adding black box testing capabilities, including the Codenomicon Defensics® tool for file and protocol fuzz testing, and the Codenomicon AppCheck™ tool for software composition analysis and vulnerability assessment.

What is Fuzzing: The Poet, the Courier, and The Oracle

Fuzzing is well established as an excellent technique for locating vulnerabilities in software. The basic premise is to deliver intentionally malformed input to target software and detect failure. A complete fuzzer has three components. A poet creates the malformed inputs or test cases. A courier delivers test cases to the target software. Finally, an oracle detects if a failure has occurred in the target. Fuzzing is a crucial tool in software vulnerability management, both for organizations that build software as well as organizations that use software.

Five Simple Strategies for Securing Your APIs

APIs empower organizations to integrate applications using Web technology. The API-based approach to integration is exploding in popularity because it builds on well-understood techniques and leverages existing infrastructure.

APIs in Mobile Apps: Delivering the Right Balance Between App Security and Usability

In order to take full advantage of the app opportunity, businesses must open up their traditional boundaries and connect valuable and sensitive data to the outside mobile world—it’s what today’s consumers expect.

From home, the office or on the road, people want the convenience of being able to login to their email, check their credit card balances, buy new clothes, book travel, share links with social networks, copy images into reports, upload files to the cloud and more. While businesses work feverishly to answer the demand, they need to be aware of the extreme security threat involved in enabling these mobile initiatives.

APIs Guide for Extending Your ESB/SOA Environment to Mobile, Cloud and IoT

Every enterprise has a wide variety of IT requirements where integration is needed. The rapid proliferation and adoption of cloud and mobile technologies has accentuated the financial impact of these needs. In response, the integration space has matured to include feature-rich stacks from enterprise integration vendors that provide full, multi-layer platforms in the form of an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) or SOA suite. But with these very broad capabilities comes complexity—multi-layer stacks can be difficult and costly to install, debug, administer and secure.

Driving Business Value from Flash-optimized Storage

Solid- state flash storage is one of today's most important "old yet new" IT technologies. It's old in the sense that some form of solid-state memory has been around since the 1970s. Flash technology arose in the 1980s, and modern flash drives within enterprise storage subsystems arrived on the market back in 2008, with various types of flash-card packaging being the latest turn of the technology crank.

Flash storage is new because the ongoing advances in performance, density, and other factors are still continuing to help flash take over an increasing number of performance-sensitive workloads from conventional spinning-desk arrays.

A Modern Take on the Agile Manifesto

When the Agile Manifesto was published in 2001, our workplace looked very different from how it does today. Despite major changes in how we work, our interpretation of the Manifesto hasn’t changed in over a decade. So what does today’s Agile look like? Do the values of the Manifesto still apply? How can we evolve Agile concepts to tackle today's product-delivery challenges in a new way?

Download this eBook for an opportunity to rethink the Agile Manifesto. View Agile in a new light and deconstruct which concepts were home runs and which still need to evolve.

Die zentrale Bedeutung hardwareoptimierter Plattformen für geschäftskritische Applikationen

Von IT-Abteilungen wird erwartet, mit weniger Ressourcen mehr zu leisten. Sie versuchen, diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, indem sie neuere (und oftmals mit Unterbrechungen verbundene) Technologien einbinden.

In ihrem Streben, den Wandel hin zu datenorientierten Unternehmen zu vollziehen, neuere Technologien einzuführen und aus Wettbewerbsgründen weiterhin in geschäftskritische Applikationen zu investieren, stehen moderne Unternehmen verschiedenen Herausforderungen gegenüber. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht IDC in diesem Whitepaper den Bedarf an hardwareoptimierten Plattformen wie der NetApp FAS8080 EX.

Verbesserung von Datenbankumgebungen mit NetApp Storage

Unternehmen aller Art bauen sowohl bei der Transaktionsverarbeitung (OLTP) als auch bei der Analyse (OLAP) auf ihre relationalen Datenbanken.

Dennoch haben viele von ihnen nach wie vor Probleme, ihre Ziele in Bezug auf Hochverfügbarkeit, Sicherheit und Performance zu erreichen. Unabhängig davon, ob ein großes Upgrade vorhandener Datenbanken geplant oder ein komplett neues Projekt angedacht wird, sollten IT-Lösungsarchitekten sich bewusst sein, dass die Storage-Funktionen von Bedeutung sind. Das NetApp Produktportfolio bietet als Grundlage für ein besseres Betriebsergebnis zahlreiche Vorteile.
