With hundreds of millions of users sharing information about their personal and professional lives and trusting anybody on their "friends" list, it's understandable that most security professionals can't be found on Facebook. Threat developers and attackers use social networks as primary vector to compromise their victims, and organizations are deeply concerned about potential security issues surrounding social networks. But tremendous amounts of information is being shared on social networks, and increasingly, private and public sector organizations are using social applications to communicate with customers, partners, and constituents. So if social networks are more and more "how business gets done," how should security professionals respond? This talk will explore the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with social networks on behalf of the security professional.

As virtual server technology is deployed more and more in production, recovery issues like backup, disaster recovery, and high availability must be addressed. Virtual servers are generally added to environments that still include physical servers, various operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Unix are in use, data is stored in SANs, NAS, or DAS, and this increased complexity presents some real challenges when implementing recovery strategies. This session will discuss the recovery challenges of virtual machine environments as well as a number of next generation recovery technologies which can be used to help meet these requirements.

The next evolutionary step in backup technology has widely been regarded to be deduplication. The benefits are tangible and extremely practical: eliminating duplicate data in secondary storage archives can slash costs, streamline management tasks and minimize the bandwidth required to replicate data. In short, deduplication improves efficiency and saves money.

Many vendors lay claim to having the best approach to Data Deduplication, leaving customers to determine which factors are most important to their business. Companies must consider a number of key factors in order to select a data deduplication solution that actually delivers cost-effective, high-performance and scalable long-term data storage. This technical session aims to assist with this task by showing attendees how to address the principal issues including: assimilating DD technology with current environments; capacity planning; assessing vendor capabilities; and the impact on performance and scalability.

Presented By: EMC
