Webcast If managing data is part of your world, some things never change. There’s always more information coming at you, automation trumps good intentions, and the network data management protocol (NDMP) seem to have been designed to make your life … difficult.
Data pros have been cursing NDMP's shortcomings since it first appeared in the 1990s, whether it’s the performance bottlenecks, its tendency to tilt you into vendor lock-in, or the slow restore times given it was designed with tape in mind.
But some things do change: organisations have to deal with ever more unstructured data, and a shift to the cloud. All of which has only emphasized the shortcomings of legacy approaches when it comes to backing up NAS.
If that feels like a lot of information to take in, well you can probably appreciate how a straining backup device feels. But sympathy doesn’t mean you want aging technology at the center of your data protection strategy.
Luckily, you can find out what your options are by tuning into our upcoming webcast, [1]Protect and Recover your NAS and Unstructured Data , on February 18.
El Reg ’s broadcast supremo, Tim Phillips, a renowned bottleneck opener in his own right, will be joined by Rubrik’s Pierre-Francois Guglielmi, to talk about how he and his colleagues are working to rework backup.
Tim and Pierre-Francois will unpick the challenges of NAS backup in general, and the particular issues brought up by unstructured data. They’ll also work through the battling business objectives when it comes to backup, including overall performance as well as RPO and RTO.
And they’ll show you what a NDMP-free modern approach to backup looks like, highlighting just how simple and automated it can be, and how Rubrik’s recent acquisition of NAS and unstructured data specialist Ignaeous is going to benefit … well, you.
There’s no bottlenecks to squeeze through to join this session. Just drop your [2]info in here , and we’ll make sure you’re reminded on the day. And, if you’re lucky, that’s the last reminder you’ll need when it comes to data protection.
