Data Domain Customers to Present at VMWorld Las Vegas 2008
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SANTA CLARA, CA, September 12 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Data Domain (NASDAQ: DDUP), the leading
provider of deduplication storage systems, announced that Data Domain
customers will be presenting in three sessions at the upcoming VMWorld Las
Vegas 2008. Each session highlights the benefits of combining data
deduplication and virtualization to advance disaster recovery and business
continuity capabilities.
A special customer-focused panel will be moderated by Ron Ogelsby, service
director for virtualization at GlassHouse Technologies, Inc. Mr. Ogelsby
will guide a discussion with VMware/Data Domain customers which will
include participation from subject matter experts from Data Domain. The
second session features Dan Lewis, manager of network services at The USC
Marshall School of Business. Lewis will discuss his experiences
implementing both Data Domain deduplication storage systems and VMware
virtualization technologies in a case study-style format. The third session
is centered on the U.S. Air Force's "Project Bonfire" infrastructure
redesign for the Hill Air Force Base. Doug Babb, Chief IT Architect of Hill
Air Force Base for Systems Implementers, will present with additional
project leaders and discuss the role of data deduplication as one of the
technologies used in the project.
Session #1 Title: Re-architecting Data Protection Processes with Data
Deduplication and Virtualization Technologies
Date/Time/Location: Tuesday, September 16, 4:00-5:00 pm PT, Zeno 4708
Panel Moderator: Ron Oglesby, Service Director - Virtualization, GlassHouse
Technologies, Inc.
Customers: Carlos Gonzales, Enterprise Systems & Security Manager,
Thornburg Mortgage and Dan Lewis, Manager of Network Services, USC Marshall
School of Business
Data Domain Spokespeople: Shane Jackson, Director, Channel Product
Marketing and Daniel Budiansky, Principal Systems Engineer
Session Description: Both conceptually and in terms of tangible benefits,
data deduplication and server virtualization technologies share many common
threads. With respective benefits that can include cost reduction,
improved asset utilization, reduced management and reduction of footprint,
power and cooling requirements, it's no wonder why data deduplication and
virtualization are amongst the top technologies on IT managers' lists for
implementation. This session explores the changes in storage requirements
that are an outgrowth of server virtualization implementations, and the
efficiencies that can be achieved by deployment of both technologies as it
relates to enterprise level backup and DR practices.
Session #2 Title: Achieving Next Generation Disaster Recovery Capabilities
Today
Speaker: Dan Lewis, Manager of Network Services, USC Marshall School of
Business
Date/Time/Location: Wednesday, September 17 at 11:30-12:00 pm PT, Solutions
Exchange Theater
Session Description: Exponential data growth and increasing compliance
requirements are forcing users everywhere to re-evaluate their approach to
Disaster Recovery. Many users have turned to either data deduplication
technology or server virtualization individually to help address the
challenges. But it's becoming increasing clear that, where users
virtualize, they should also "dedupe" to enhance their disaster recovery
capabilities. This case study-style session features a user who has
deployed both VMware and Data Domain technologies and will discuss the
synergies between the two technologies as related to DR.
Session #3 Title: Project Bonfire -- Igniting Change
Speaker: Doug Babb, Chief IT Architect of Hill Air Force Base for Systems
Implementers
Date/Time: Thursday, September 18 at 10:30-11:30 am PT
Session Description: This session reviews the methodology at the
foundation of Project Bonfire's success, along with new methods and
procedures around security and performance that have been forged. Also
discussed are the pitfalls and lessons learned in migrating to low cost,
open, virtualized, highly available grid computing. Project Bonfire started
as a quick "scorched earth" Oracle database and Web infrastructure
re-design and deployment while performing a storage area network refresh
and server consolidation effort at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. Phase-1 of
Project Bonfire was less than 2% of the cost of the large UNIX environment
it replaced and is achieving better performance and higher availability
levels. Phase-1 established the foundation for Phase-2 of migrating the
Datacenter to VMware.
