SIP Trunking has drawn a lot of attention as an exciting new service offering that can reduce operating expenses for telephone services across a wide range of businesses.

This paper discusses 10 important issues that any business should know before making a decision about bringing SIP Trunking into their current infrastructure.

eBook: The Definitive Guide to Windows Application and Server Backup 2.0 – Chapters 1-3
AppAssure
10/20/2009 4:01:01 PM
Are you still making backups the old-fashioned way? Whether you back up Windows, Exchange Server, SharePoint, SQL Server, or virtualization servers, the old-school backup mentality may not be serving your actual needs. IT author and Microsoft MVP Don Jones explores the “Backup 1.0? mentality and its shortcomings, and proposes a new “Backup 2.0? way of thinking. He examines the true business needs behind backup (namely, quick recovery and as little lost work as possible), and proposes new techniques – using leading-edge technologies that are available today – that do a better job of meeting today’s business and technology needs. With special chapters devoted to Exchange Server, SQL Server, virtualization, and SharePoint, you’ll learn about new techniques and technologies designed to take backups out of the 1960’s and into the 21st century.

Whether a business is small, medium or large business, it must have a well-written plan for backing up the servers. Planning a backup strategy up-front and documenting not only the backup process but also the restore process, will save you a ton of time in the end. Because of its value to the company and the sensitive nature of it, the classification of data must be carefully considered in the planning stage.

Deduplication: Effectively Reducing the Cost of Backup and Storage
AppAssure
10/20/2009 3:47:07 PM
Reducing the cost of backup and storage starts with reducing the amount of data that is backed up and stored. Data deduplication ensures that the same, unchanged files are not repeatedly backed up during nightly processes. Reducing storage capacity alone is a strong argument for implementing data deduplication, but when integrated with server-based backup processes that also include data compression, the combined backup and storage savings are compelling.

Two Paths to Service Class Packet Optical
ECI Telecom
10/12/2009 2:45:45 PM
Service providers are taking two paths to this new infrastructure. One path focuses on resolving high bandwidth connectivity utilizing ROADM-based optical networks to create dynamic optical networks that efficiently manage higher bandwidth pipes. The alternative path focuses on packet efficiency by the creation of a network based upon direct interconnection of routers and switches. While there are advantages to both paths, ECI Telecom believes that the ideal solution allows a service provider to begin with either path and then evolve to a converged service class packet optical feeder and distribution infrastructure.
