Data Center Down - 18 stories, you have to see it to believe it.
Deepak Mohan | 10 Oct 2012 | 0 comments

Watch this behind to scenes to see how Symantec put our high availability and disaster recovery technology to the ultimate test. We loaded a server rack with a multi-tier application stack including an Oracle database on Solaris and the application layer on Red Hat Enterprise Linux as primary data center. A disaster recovery site was set up on a second rack, our failover data center. The applications were clustered using Veritas Cluster Server. Veritas Replicator was set up to do data replication between the sites. And then the fun started, as we took our two "data centers" 18 stories up on a building in the heart of Silicon Valley and we dropped the primary rack off the roof. See how it seamlessly failed over to a recovery site.

Hear from Red Hat and ESG Analysts as they discuss the critical nature of high availability and disaster recovery for data centers running Linux.

Data Center Down
DLamorena | 04 Oct 2012 | 0 comments

What happens if your data center goes down? Businesses need 24/7 availability of their data and applications to keep their operations running smoothly and their customers happy.  And if they do go down, they need to recover – fast.

In this video, we put our high availability and disaster recovery technology to the ultimate test. We loaded a server rack with a multi-tier application stack including an Oracle database on Solaris and the application layer on Red Hat Enterprise Linux as primary data center. A disaster recovery site was set up on a second rack, our failover data center. The applications were clustered using Veritas Cluster Server. Veritas Replicator was set up to do data replication between the sites. And then the fun started, as we took our two “data centers” 18 stories up on a building in the heart of Silicon Valley and we dropped the primary rack off the roof.

What happened when this data center went down? First, it made a really...

New Release: Introducing Veritas Cluster Server and Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing for VMware
Mike Reynolds PMM | 04 Sep 2012 | 3 comments

 

Virtualization is everywhere, but IT organizations are still looking for ways to cut costs.  One way to do that, is to…  virtualize even more applications!  However, the easy stuff has been done.  File and print servers, cafeteria menus and the company picnic blog have been virtualized.  The next step is to move up the chain and virtualize business and mission critical applications.  But the risks of virtualization are still there.  How do I monitor and protect my application and business services in the event of a failure, or even a site wide disaster?  What happens to the performance or availability of my data when a path connecting a virtual machine to the storage fails?  These are the roadblocks that are preventing IT organizations from virtualizing more of their business critical services and applications.  The good news is Symantec can help!  

Symantec is announcing a new version of...

All the Hype around Big Data Analytics Weighing you Down?
Fahima | 13 Aug 2012 | 0 comments

You've heard the buzz word. So what's behind the hype? Big data can translate into big business when you can mine for the relevant insights. But where do you start? Running Hadoop Analytics is not a plug and play game. But now, Cluster File System users can plug our Hadoop Connector into the Hadoop stack, and run the analytics on our trusted file system, with all the benefits that Cluster File System delivers. 

We just made available a Connector for Hadoop based on Cluster File System technology that enables you to run Big Data analytics on your existing infrastructure, running on tools that you are already familiar with. Working closely with Hortonworks, we launched Symantec Enterprise Solution for Hadoop to make Hadoop enterprise-ready, and fully supported. 

What does this mean?

Big Data Storage - Conversation with CTO of Storage and Availability Management Group
Rags Srinivasan | 06 Jun 2012 | 0 comments

What does Big Data mean to enterprises?

How does this change their storage architecture?

Does the need for taking advantage of Big Data analytics mean a cluster of 1000s of compute nodes?

The answers create lot more confusion than clarity and it depends on who you ask. In an attempt to add clarity to the conversation I sat down with  V.R.Satish, CTO of Storage and Availability Management Group at Symantec to get his thoughts on how enterprises should approach the Big Data storage problem.

Here are some excerpts from my conversation.

Rags: Satish, we keep hearing about the data deluge, growth and variety. How do you think enterprises must approach Big Data?

Satish: As always with any business decision, start with the problem we are trying to solve, focus on the value realization and how it will help you better serve your internal and external customers. How you approach the problem and...
