Data Protection
The SNIA Data Protection and Capacity Optimization (DPCO) Committee was created to foster the growth and success of the market for data protection and capacity optimization technologies. Data protection means assurance that data is usable and accessible for authorized purposes only, with acceptable performance, and in compliance with applicable requirements. Capacity optimization refers to methods which reduce the consumption of space require to store a data set and its scope and is not limited to secondary storage.
The goals of the DPCO are:
- Educate the vendor and user communities about data protection and efficient data storage technologies
- Perform market outreach that highlights the benefits of relevant technologies and document implementation considerations and best practices
- Advocacy and support of technical work associated with data protection and capacity optimization

Deduplication's Role in Disaster Recovery
Data deduplication can enhance Disaster Recovery (DR) because deduplication significantly reduces the amount of band width required to replicate data.
Learning Objectives
- Review Data Deduplication Concepts.
- Cover the impact of Deduplication on WAN Replication.
- Discuss Deduplication effects on meeting SLAs for DR.

BYOD and photos of my cat
25 March 2013
By Alex McDonald, SNIA Cloud Storage Initiative Chair (NetApp)
First published in SNS Europe - March 2013
BYOD. If that acronym doesnt strike fear into the heart of every chief exec or finance director, it should. Short for Bring Your Own Device, theres been a proliferation of new technology thats take the business world by storm; the tablet. More portable than a laptop, more connected than a mobile phone, these cross-over devices are incredibly popular, and rightly so. The flexibility they provide is truly amazing. Give a presentation, take photographs, jot down notes on the move, browse the internet, use business email and make calls, all from one easily transported device.

Tape is Part of The Next Generation Too
30 October 2012
George Crump, Senior Analyst at Storage Switzerland, writes: This morning at SNW Europe I chaired a series of discussions focused on what the next generation data protection solutions would look like. Opinions were offered by a variety of vendors including Quantum, Spectra Logic, Oracle, SNIA and end user Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, each making recommendations as to what the future of data protection looked like. While each presentation had its own unique suggestions one resounding theme was apparent. Tape, yes TAPE will be a part of the next generation data protection strategy.
