Data Protection Hub

The data protection hub is the evolution of the NetWorker Hub. What started initially as a blog exploring EMC (now Dell EMC) NetWorker, the data protection hub will explore all things data protection, since data storage protection requires a spectrum of options to meet different service level agreements for data as it moves through its lifecycle. More so, security and privacy considerations need to be adopted as part of holistic data protection strategies.

So after almost 10 years of operation as the NetWorker Hub, we're relaunching with an expanded focus.

Data Protection: Ensuring Data Availability (Second Edition)

Published May 2020, Data Protection: Ensuring Data Availability is the latest data protection title by Preston de Guise.

Updated and expanded from the first edition, this release goes beyond the traditional topics including deduplication, continuous availability, snapshots, replication, backup, and recovery, and explores such additional considerations as legal, privacy, and ethical issues. A new model is presented for understanding and planning the various aspects of data protection, which is essential to developing holistic strategies. The second edition also addresses the cloud and the growing adoption of software and function as a service, as well as effectively planning over the lifespan of a workload: what the best mix of traditional and cloud native data protection services might be. Virtualization continues to present new challenges to data protection, and the impact of containerization is examined.
