(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.

Some years ago, I got a job doing network support for the District Attorneyâs office in a large city that shall remain nameless. When I arrived, the network was a mess! Malware was rampant, Internet and WAN connections were saturated, and users were constantly complaining about slow computers and network performance. Even so, my attempts to enforce a mindful security policy were met with fierce resistance. The attitude among the legal staff was, âThis is my computer and my network; youâre just a computer janitor.â

In this new post on the Northclick blog, Soenke talks about the stream wrappers included in PHP and some of the magic that can happen when they're applied correctly. In this case, it's an application of the ssh2 library (by Sara Golemon).   The new system must be very stable with a strict error checking and has to support several ways of file transports (FTP, SCP/SFTP). SCP is faster then FTP and secure by nature. It's going to be the standard way for deployment.   After finding and loading the extension, things flowed along swimmingly - the code shows a simple transfer method of transfer over a secure ftp connection, complete with a few performance stats at the end.

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.
