Business Continuity
You can say that I am ever so cautious, but it is important to be aware that if your business office was destroyed completely, replacing physical hardware is a simple procedure. Recovering the data that was stored on those computers however is much more difficult. Ensuring you have up to date backup within your company is essential
Using the traditional backup procedures of Copy, Full, Incremental or Differential and considering the Backup window, Network bandwidth and the size of the data; performing full backup of the entire Data for a company can be time consuming. Also there is point of failure in a restore if any of the backup tapes are missing. With the latest technology of cheaper and faster disks, new storage solutions are available.
What is Disk Base Backup?
Disk Based Backup uses a hard drive rather than another type of storage medium. A disk-based solution typical writes to the same data to a file on a disk volume as it would write to a tape drive. Therefore, when a backup to disk operation is finished a single file the size of the backup will exist on disk that contains all the backed up data.
What is Backup Disk to LAN?
In a Backup Disk to LAN situation, data on the LAN is backed up by Backup Exec software on to a disk (such as NAS appliance, JBOD, or Disk Array) instead of traditional media such as tape or tape library.
New Storage backup solutions that incorporate backup to disk offer significant benefits over traditional backup media such as tape drives and tape libraries. These benefits include:
Faster backup and recovery
Improved media reliability
Reduced IT interventions and management

Network and Security
Business today operates onsite, offsite and offshore by a variety of employees who range from permanent staff to contractors. The PCs used by employees pose ongoing manageability and security challenges. One of the biggest challenges for IT Managers to protect corporate networks is that the threats against what they are defending and the networks that they are protecting are changing at ever increasing rates.
The traditional solution of muilt-tier approach ie using muilt vendors software and hardware is fast becoming outdated. Welcome the next line of defence. Endpoint Client Security.
Key features:
Integrated virus, spyware,adware and PUA (potential unwanted applications)protection.
Block worms, stop hackers and prevents intrusion via a firewall
New level of management and control

Data Center and virtualization
I can remember in the late 1990s “x86 virtualization” was frowned upon and thought of as impractical. But since the mid 2000s there has been a huge jump in the technology’s development and deployment.
Introduction to Virtualization
Virtualization is an abstraction layer that decouples the physical hardware from the operating system to deliver greater IT resource utilization and flexibility. VMware virtualization software enables businesses to lower IT costs through increased efficiency, flexibility and responsiveness
Server Consolidation & Containment
Many organizations face server sprawl as a side effect of business growth without realizing the fully burdened costs of managing these new servers. Server sprawl is costly in terms of not only hardware costs but also costs in maintenance and the resources needed to maintain peak performance. VMware server consolidation and containment solutions allow enterprises to enable workload isolation and granular resource control for all of the system's computing and I/O resources.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
Introduction to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) VDI is a server based PC management solution for enterprise desktop administrators to provide desktop environments as an enterprise hosted service. Unlike thick client PC architectures, all user application, data, and environments are centrally located and managed in the data center. Unlike shared application environments or blade PC solutions, VDI provides a true isolated PC environment while sharing underlying hardware resources. VDI allows administrators to provide PC environments with all the benefits of virtualization: central management, hardware consolidation, and resource flexibility
