SNW europe, powering the cloud
Powering the cloud. Multi marketing of course, but what is happening in the storage world? What does it mean for mission critical environments? These are the questions I am hoping to get answered today and tomorrow. Currently three sessions done. 1. Introduction to Data protection by Chriss Sop, 2. Optimizing storage in a cloudy, virtualized world by The 451 Group and 3. Enterprise Tiered Storage by John Locky.
First two sessions were somewhat low quality from a contect perspective. Too basic from on technology and on new innovations. Even for me as a non engineer. The difference between full backup, incrementals and differentials is not the thing we came here for. Although i must say that merging incrementals on the back end to always have full backups available sounds interesting. Curious to see this working in real life. How transprrent will that be? Lets ask Commvault later today. And if i can find them Quest as well. Would be nice to learn a bit on automated restore testing as well. Guaranteeing back ups remains an issue. Especially on tapes.
When i get answers, you’ll probably read more about it on cf.net or twitter.
