Join Doug Frith, Solutions Architect with Scalar, as he explores remote backup technologies and solutions. Tape has been the “go-to” technology for decades when it comes to remote and offsite backups. As technology has improved, networks have become faster and data centre architectures have changed, so there are now more compelling options available.  Whether you have a current solution, are planning a solution, or have no plan at all, this session will explore the latest technology and solutions, as well as the technical drivers behind remote backup, to help you better understand the options.

TGIF@ScalarLabs is an interactive monthly session for a technical audience.

By attending you will learn about how the combination of technologies can make your life easier:

• snapshot and replication tools can increase your productivity and empower end users
• virtualization will enable you to better serve your user and business stakeholders
• squeeze the most performance out of the WAN bandwidth you already have
• getting more storage bang for your buck
• using 10GB and converged networks to reduce your cabling headache
• getting the most out of the network you are stuck with
• why using multiple tools for backup recovery archiving and dedupe isn't the only option
• figuring out where your security issues are.

As a systems, networking or storage professional, you are obligated to meet rapidly increasing capacity and reliability requirements, while minimizing complexity, and simplifying management. And you must do so in a business environment where shrinking IT budgets are forcing you to do more with less.

By attending these sessions you will see how your peers are solving their toughest issues while saving time and money.
