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.

Hybrid Cloud Backup Delivers More for Less

In this technology brief, research firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) shares their perspective on the increasing importance of a hybrid approach which combines on-premise and cloud capabilities to meet today's data protection requirements.

Cloud Storage is strategically inevitable

Cloud computing can deliver storage services more effectively while saving both time and cost - but only if an organization first establishes an efficient data storage infrastructure. IBM can help by providing efficiency, automation and optimization capabilities.

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.

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.

IDC: Real-time Compression Advances Storage Optimization

It should come as no surprise that storage budgets are constantly under pressure from opposing forces: On one hand, economic forces are pushing budgets to either stay flat or, in many cases, shrink as a percentage of a company's revenue. On the other hand, the infrastructure struggles to keep up with the pace of data growth, pressured by many variables, both social and economic. Businesses have no choice but to acclimate their storage infrastructure to the unprecedented levels at which data is growing.
