(Source: Arsenal Digital)  Hackers, disgruntled and careless employees, equipment failure, broken pipes, fires, and natural disasters all pose threats to your data. Savvy IT and business managers have recognized that in order to deal with these challenges, they need to deploy a company-wide data protection infrastructure. Unfortunately, traditional data protection strategies that rely on tape backup are often too expensive and too difficult to manage in today's business environment where an increasing amount of data resides in branch offices and on employees' PCs and laptops. To help IT managers conquer their biggest data protection challenges, Arsenal Digital has released "Solving the Distributed Data Problem: The Rise of Remote Data Protection Services." This report discusses: - The changing corporate environment where more and more business-critical information is generated and stored outside of headquarters - The growing need to protect data for compliance, customer assurance, and business continuity reasons - The advantages of using an on-demand, distributed data protection service that automatically, reliably, and securely backs up off-site PCs and servers.

One recent Saturday morning, I woke with one seemingly simple thing in mind: cleaning out and organizing the closets in my bedroom. If my closets were a database system, the contents would be stored as BLOBs (binary large objects) of varying sizes with no defining structure â just a dumping ground for stuff. As I began dragging things out of the closet, I found items as varied as a backpack, a pair of old ski gloves, about 10 square feet of foam padding, and pocket change in three different international currencies (anyone need Thai bahts?). Faced with a mound of the messy detritus of my own life, I did what most people would probably do: I went to the store to buy even more stuff to organize the stuff I already had.

Many corporations today employ multiple techniques to protect against data loss. Unfortunately, the various approaches are often applied and managed in an uncoordinated manner. Ironically, the nightly backup, for some critical classes of applications, becomes almost irrelevant, representing a tertiary, "last ditch" level of data protection.
