  • OCEAN User Group to Host Annual Tech Conference on July 11

    June 5, 2006 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    The OCEAN iSeries and System i5 user group is hosting its annual Technical Conference and Expo at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, California, on July 11, and if you are in the OC and you like the OS/400 platform, then the Orange County Educational Advancement Network wants you to stop by and spend the day at the conference.

    OCEAN is one of the largest and most active OS/400 user groups in the world, and it draws all of the big name experts in the OS/400 community. Malcolm Haines, the minister of System i5 propaganda at IBM, will be giving a presentation. Jon Paris and Susan Gantner of Partner400; George Farr, Alison Butterill, and Doug Mack of IBM; Al Barsa of Barsa Consulting Services; Paul Holm of Planet Java; Craig Pelkie of Bits & Bytes Programming; and John Earl of PowerTech will all be giving presentations at the event. They will even be letting wiseguys like me speak; I will attend the event and sit in on a roundtable event with some of these experts to shoot the breeze about the OS/400 platform. Some three dozen iSeries vendors will also be chatting up attendees at the expo.

    The OCEAN conference costs $175 for members of the COMMON System i5 user group and other user groups, while it costs $225 for non-members if they reserve their space before July 2.

    Comprehensive Data Protection from Focal Point SG

    Your organization needs to be thinking differently about your backup & disaster recovery strategy

    Concerns of the Industry

    • Inefficient manual backup processes
    • Effectively storing data offsite
    • Developing and testing a concrete disaster recovery plan
    • Efficient access to data in a disaster scenario for necessary users
    • Risk of cyber security attack
    • Declining IT staff and resources

    The true cause of the above concerns is an organization’s status quo – 80% of IBM i users currently backup to tape and 40% of companies have no DR plan at all. Don’t wait for a disaster to take action.

    The new way to ensure cost-effective safety

    • Automated cloud backup
    • Two (2) remote sites – redundant storage, power, internet pipe, firewalls, etc.
    • Data encryption at all times – in-flight and at-rest
    • Fully managed remote hardware DR, including remote VPN access for necessary users
    • Regularly simulated phishing tests and cyber security training

    Potential “landmines” in solutions to avoid

    • Single point of storage – no redundancy
    • Misleading data analysis, compression/de-dup ratios, sizing of necessary computer resources for backup and DR
    • Large-scale cloud storage with difficult recovery
    • Inability to meet RTO/RPO

    Don’t get caught like the many organizations we’ve seen with inefficient exposed backup data and no DR plan!

    What VAULT400 has to offer

    Backup

    • Native software agent schedules backups to the Focal Point SG cloud based on your retention scheme
    • Client data is backed up to two data centers in US or two data centers in Canada
    • 256-bit AES encryption in-flight and at rest – only the client has the encryption key
    • Detailed data analysis to ensure proper sizing

    Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

    • Focal Point SG provides “hands-off” DR – fully managed recovery
    • 60 days of remote VPN access available to unlimited users in event of a disaster
    • Documented reports to ensure defined SLAs are met

    Managed Service Cyber Security Training

    • Fully managed phishing tests
    • Detailed reporting of results
    • Fully managed administration of custom online cyber security training

    VAULT400 Cloud Backup & DRaaS is an IBM Server Proven Solution.
