How to plan your future strategy for efficient, cost-saving datamanagement
Businesses have historically treated data protection as anafterthought, as simply making an occasional copy of data thatcould be used in the future. Today, this attitude is changingrapidly. The ever-increasing amount of data, along with theemphasis on continuous availability, necessitates changes in theapproach to data integrity, which results in management andprotection becoming much more closely aligned. Digital DataIntegrity throws light on the data integrity landscape of thefuture. It provides the reader with a brief overview of thehistorical methods and subsequent evolution of data protection. Thetext shows how the whole subject of data integrity is changing anddescribes and positions many of the new, enhanced, more intelligentprotection technologies and methods.
Digital Data Integrity:
* Takes a unique, forward look at data protection and management,highlighting the paradigm shift from simple backup and recovery tototal data management.
* Details recent developments in compliance regulations in anaccessible manner.
* Covers enhanced protection technologies such as advancedintelligent synthetic backups, data reduction methods, and datagrowth - online protection using continuous dataprotection.
* Explains data life cycle management and data storage, usingmanagement, quality of service products and tools to achieve betterdata management, intelligent allocation of storage, and compliancewith regulations.
* Contains information on quality control, looking at SLA(Service Level Agreements), protection by business unit andbilling/charge back.
* Unique insight into hot topics such as next generation baremetal recovery and true system provisioning.
This invaluable text will provide system administrators, anddatabase administrators, as well as senior IT managers and decisionmakers with a thorough understanding of data management andprotection.
With contributions from Ray Schafer and Paul Mayer.
