Druva Data Protection for VMware Cloud on AWS

Solution Brief

On-demand cloud compute and storage services have grown steadily as companies continue their digital transformation journey. As businesses look to reduce costs, increase agility and improve the efficiency of their data center operations, they are selectively moving workloads to the cloud. The result has been the creation of a new business model known as hybrid cloud.

The goal of the hybrid cloud is to bring portability and consistent operations to on-premises and cloud environments. VMware Cloud on AWS is a joint development effort between AWS and VMware to deliver such an integrated cloud solution.

Learn how, with VMware Cloud on AWS, customers can:

• Reduce operational overhead and get to the cloud faster by leveraging existing
skills, tools, and processes familiar to IT personnel
• Align costs to business needs with flexible consumption options and
investment protection
• Get a single inventory view of both on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS
resources using vCenter server technology

Building a cloud-native, hybrid-multicloud infrastructure with Intel and Red Hat

Transform your business and get ready for hybrid-multicloud databases, artificial intelligence, and machine-learning workloads with Red Hat and Intel.

Cloud has evolved. Are your security tools keeping pace?

Why Threat Stack customers are switching to Lacework

Organizations that bought early cloud security products are finding that those tools aren’t keeping up with dynamic environments ruled by APIs and microservices on containers, and server instances that constantly scale up and down.

More than 20 customers migrated from Threat Stack to Lacework last quarter. Without a major investment in time or security expertise, they gained new insight into their environment, decreased time spent on compliance programs, and reduced alert fatigue.

Are you ready to experience the difference?

Next-Gen Privileged Access Management Solutions

Before there were privileged access management (PAM) solutions, it seemed that everyone was given access to privileged accounts with little regard for who had access, when they had access and what they did with that access. As security breaches started to rise and compliance regulations were written, it was obvious that manual processes and home-grown approaches to privileged access management solutions weren’t enough.

Why make the investment to next-gen PAM? After we briefly cover the history of first-gen and next-gen PAM solutions, we will give you five reasons to consider purchasing next-gen PAM solutions:

• Reason 1: Easy to deploy
• Reason 2: Transparent and frictionless
• Reason 3: Operations- and automation-ready
• Reason 4: Scale and transform with your business
• Reason 5: An identity-centered approach to PAM.

Standardizing your IT infrastructure on Red Hat’s software stack can help you optimize your SAP environment while preparing you for the future.

Balance Cost and Performance when Migrating On-premises Oracle Databases to the Cloud

Although the cloud may have once looked like a fad, predictions of a $266.4 billion—and growing—market in public cloud services1 suggest the fad has become a business reality. The new frontier is to strike the right cost-performance balance so that cloud computing actually does save more money than it costs.

Shortly after you join the growing number of database administrators tasked with migrating on-premises Oracle databases to the cloud, you’ll confront several questions:

Which cloud service is the best fit for your organization?

Which of your Oracle databases is best suited for a migration to the cloud?

How will you minimize downtime and avoid data loss during the migration?

How will you monitor database performance and ensure scalability without blowing your budget?

Do you have the tools to replicate Oracle data between on-premises infrastructure and the cloud?

Perhaps most important, will you really lower your Oracle licensing costs and avoid platform lock-in to any single cloud provider?

This solution brief is designed to guide DBAs through the process of migrating an on-premises Oracle database to a cloud service such as Amazon Web Services (AWS)2, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Zero impact database migration

Migrating data from one platform to another requires a lot of planning. Some traditional migration methods are easy to use, but they only work for migrations on the same platform. Quest® SharePlex® can replicate data across platforms, from Oracle to SQL Server, with next to no downtime, offering a flexible, low- cost alternative.

The SharePlex architecture is composed of a series of queues and processes running on the database servers that move data rapidly from the source database to the target database, without using Oracle’s processes or memory structures. This architecture facilitates the fault tolerance capability in SharePlex, which avoids data loss if there is a break in the replication stream.

Download this solution brief to learn how businesses can count on high availability, migrate data with zero organizational risk, and integrate data in near real-time for reporting and insights.

SharePlex® Data Replication: Staying Afloat After Oracle Streams (formerly Meeting Your Data-Sharing Needs Now that Oracle Streams is Deprecated)

Now that Oracle has deprecated Streams, Oracle Database Advanced Replication and Change Data Capture in Oracle Database 12c, they want you to buy Oracle GoldenGate. But this replacement is extremely expensive and leaves you vulnerable to downtime.

What if you could replace Streams with an affordable alternative that doesn’t expose you to risk? With SharePlex® data replication, you get even more functionality to avoid downtime and data loss than GoldenGate provides – all for a fraction of the price. See how you can achieve high availability, improve database performance and more with a more powerful and cost-effective replacement for Streams.

SideScanning™ – How the Engine that Powers Orca Security Works

With no on-prem environments to protect, Orca was free to create a cloud-native security platform without the constraints of agents and network scanners.

Delivered as SaaS, Orca’s SideScanning™ technology reads your cloud configuration and workloads’ runtime block storage out-of-band, giving you workload-level security across AWS, Azure, and GCP － without the gaps in coverage and operational costs of agents.

But how does this radical new approach work? Download this technical brief to gain a better understanding of:

Traditional methods such as agent-based, authenticated, and unauthenticated scanning, as well as cloud security posture managers (CSPMs)

SideScanningTM – How the Engine that Powers Orca Security Works

Every organization is searching for effective ways to scan its cloud estate to look for risks. These include vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, malware, improper segmentation, and customer data at risk. They’re also seeking to verify compliance with security frameworks and government/industry regulations.

Orca Security introduces an innovative approach that secures the entire cloud estate without disrupting business operations in live environments—and with absolutely no need for agents or network scanners that fail to account for everything.

Solution brief: Logging Modernization

Logging Modernization is a holistic approach that unlocks the value of machine generated data by using a comprehensive streaming platform. This platform should include everything from real-time data ingestion, edge processing, transformation, and routing through to descriptive, prescriptive and predictive analytics. All of which should be securely shared across on- premises, public, or hybrid cloud environments.
