SIOS looks to boost SAP HANA automated replication – TechTarget

SIOS Technology's latest release aims to maintain high availability for SAP HANA databases, even when backup database clusters are out of commission.

LifeKeeper for Linux version 9.7, the latest update of the companys high availability software for database on Linux, adds multitarget replication capabilities of up to four nodes for SAP HANA databases. LifeKeeper previously offered support for multitarget replication of up to three nodes. Other databases supported by LifeKeeper include SAPs MaxDB, Microsofts SQL Server and Oracle Database. The new version of LifeKeeper is now generally available.

Uptime through high availability failover and recovery applications is paramount to avoid downtime for enterprise applications built on SAP HANA, an in-memory database, said Peter Rutten, a research vice president at IDC.

These databases tend to be mission critical for the enterprises that run them. If it goes down, the business is severely affected, he said. It became too complicated to a point as a lot of [disaster recovery features] are built in. SIOS is one of the few [vendors] that deliver high availability both on premises and in the cloud. SIOS is building atop the high availability within SAP HANA.

Existing SAP HANA recovery services assume the user is willing to connect their databases to a cloud service for managed recovery or engage with a more complicated preparation phase using scripting and open-source software, Rutten said. SIOS Technology brings automation to the scripting process.

The expansion to four nodes for multitarget replication through the new HANA multitarget feature enables high availability of increasingly complex systems of servers and storage to maintain HANA databases, according to SIOS spokespeople.

SIOS LifeKeeper provides automated synchronous and asynchronous replication across databases along with no need to set up or implement failover scripts for disaster recovery, primarily using SAP HANAs own takeover with handshake feature. Other capabilities include monitoring tools for the health of the SAP HANA instance stack.

The update also expands the softwares supported OSes to include IBM WebSphere MQ v9.3 and IBM Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v9.0; SAP HANA on RHEL 8 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4; and S/4HANA 2022.

The software is sold with a perpetual or subscription license. Future updates for the software will include a web console for management, improvement integration of more public and private cloud vendors, and providing additional insights into the health and operations of customer clusters, according to SIOS.

Both SUSE and Red Hat have offered their own open-source variants of high availability for SAP HANA for years, Rutten said. But open source requires more IT intervention in setup and use over the automated capabilities sold by SIOS.

Standard data backup and disaster recovery factor in varying amounts of downtime as services are restored at another location, which can result in some extended outages, according to Krista Macomber, an analyst at Evaluator Group. High availability, however, demands more technology resources as a separate third data copy needs to be replicated simultaneously to another location alongside the primary and backup data stores through clustering.

Those quick recovery requirements and replication demands mean only pivotal databases are given the status. This means that enterprises typically have to be selective in choosing the applications they implement high availability for, Macomber said.

IT staff simply don't have the budget or, especially these days, the time, she said. Another big challenge is that many implementations use a shared SAN to keep the backup and replica data copies up-to-date -- this means potentially a single point of failure.

Aryaka has been recognized as a Sample Vendor by Gartner in the Emerging Tech report: Leverage Cloud Connect Infrastructure to Improve Connectivity…

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Aryaka, the leader in SD-WAN and SASE solutions, was named by Gartner in the latest Emerging Technologies report.

Aryaka (PRNewsfoto/Aryaka)

The research, titled 'Emerging Tech: Leverage Cloud Connect Infrastructure to Improve Connectivity Experience of Cloud Workloads for SASE Solutions', highlights the importance of user-to-cloud workload connectivity and the implications for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions.

Anchored on 40+ cloud-connected, globally distributed PoPs, Aryaka's zero trust WAN enables enterprises to simply 'plug-in' to a modern SASE solution built for the cloud.

The report, authored by Evan Zeng and Jonathan Forest, describes the continued shift to cloud workloads and the impact on the enterprise connectivity experience. According to the report, "In 2024 and beyond, cloud workloads will become the most funded workload type in enterprises, and therefore they must be the priority focus for SASE solutions."Gartner forecasts almost 60% of IT spending on application software will be directed toward cloud technologies by 2024.

Said Matt Carter, CEO of Aryaka. "Performance matters. But the legacy way of connecting and securing users to their workloads delivers a bad user experience. Enterprises that look to the internet for answers are even worse off. SASE is turning this market upside down and we are ecstatic to be at the leading edge of this transformation."

A phrase first coined by Gartner in 2019, SASE converges a traditionally siloed network and security architecture to both simplify operations and provide a better user experience. Demand for SASE solutions has skyrocketed as enterprises have shifted to remote and hybrid work models and widespread cloud and SaaS adoption. The combination of a highly distributed workforce with workloads that now sit in multiple clouds magnify the limitations of traditional solutions.

Gartner notes that, "Connecting users to multi-cloud environments is an important area for SASE solutions because 80% of enterprises that are in the cloud are already in multiple clouds. This includes not only cloud workloads hosting in a single cloud, but also those hosting in multiple clouds. For example, SaaS workloads are increasingly multi-cloud hosted."

Story continues

"SASE is a paradigm shift for how enterprises think about network security given how they operate from the cloud," said Carter. "I think we'll see transformation in this space akin to what occurred with both the SaaS and PaaS markets in a fraction of the time."

Aryaka believes that their recognition in the report validates the company's innovative 'single-pass' Unified SASE architecture that tightly integrates connectivity and security as part of a managed service. Recently announced capabilities include a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and Firewall as-a-Service (FWaaS) for the hybrid edge, offering employees common security policies, application performance, and agility whether they are on-premises or remote.

With seamless integration with all major VMS providersinside of Wasabi Surveillance Cloud, Scale Computing is now able to expand to organizations' needs for critical video surveillance at the edge to the cloud.

Key benefits include:

Easy Management: Moving "cold video files" to the cloud from Scale Computing Platform with minimal admin effort and no impact on users or applications. With Wasabi Surveillance Cloud, 80 percent or more of an organization's video files, on average, can be off-loaded from on-site storage to lower-cost Wasabi cloud storage, freeing up capacity for additional video data.

Cost savings: Every terabyte of video removed from existing primary storage generates real savings by delaying the substantial cost of adding additional on-site storage. This includes not just the cost of the hardware, but also the licensing and maintenance costs, network costs, energy costs, and data center costs.

Flexibility: Whether a company needs disaster recovery, an extension of their storage, or a combination of both.

Dedicated video surveillance infrastructure and storage: Running VMS software on top of hyperconverged infrastructure such as SC//HyperCore provides even greater benefits including high availability failover, data redundancy, rolling upgrades for infrastructure maintenance and the ability to scale out compute and storage capacity of the overall system as needs inevitably change.

"We're seeing a lot of security organizations and businesses beginning to adopt cloud storage as a way to reduce video storage complexity and costs. As they do so, one of the main obstacles that they face is converting the file-based format to a cloud object storage format," said Scott Loughmiller, Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Scale Computing. "Organizations can now combine on-premises Scale Computing clusters and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, allowing recent video to be stored locally at the edge until it's moved to the cloud where it can be kept for as long as the organization needs it."

Platforms segment to hold the largest market size during the forecast period

A cloud native application is made of discrete, reusable components called microservices that can be integrated into any cloud environment. Microservices serve as building blocks and are frequently packaged in containers. Microservices work together to form an application as a whole, but each can be independently scaled, continuously improved, and rapidly iterated via automation and orchestration processes. Each microservice's flexibility contributes to the agility and continuous improvement of cloud-native applications. Cloud native is a method of developing and running applications that takes advantage of the benefits of the cloud computing delivery model. Companies that build and operate applications using a cloud native architecture bring new ideas to market faster and respond to customer demands more quickly. While public cloud has changed the way people think about infrastructure investment in almost every industry, cloud-like delivery isn't limited to public environments. Cloud native development is appropriate for both public and private clouds; it is about how applications are created and deployed rather than where they are created and deployed. More importantly, the ability to provide developers with on-demand access to computing power as well as modern data and application services is critical. Cloud native development combines DevOps, continuous delivery, microservices, and containers. A cloud-native platform is built, optimized, and run entirely in the cloud. Cloud-based tools are fast and scalable because the platform is built in the cloud. This technology provides reliable functionality, seamless interconnectivity, and enhanced business continuity. Cloud-native systems are built entirely in the cloud and provide developers with new and advanced deployment tools for the rapid evolution of the enterprise's overall architecture. They simplify the design and administration of complex infrastructure. Cloud hosting technology refers to cloud technologies that provide cloud processing and storage. The service provider manages the cloud-based infrastructure, software, and tools. The cost is variable and dependent on the user's requirements.

Healthcare & life sciences vertical to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period

By accelerating the digital transformation, healthcare companies are adapting and innovating faster than ever before to improve their healthcare services. This technology is gaining traction, allowing for better care delivery while also improving financial and operational outcomes. Cloud-native helps healthcare by easing onboarding and reducing the use of internal resources. Healthcare organizations that are already using cloud services and migrating to cloud-native platforms will find the process easier because the majority of the hardware and software requirements will be met. Because such cloud-native technology is flexible and scalable, healthcare ideas and plans can be easily brought to market and respond to customer needs more quickly. Connected devices continuously transmit data, and the amount of unstructured and structured data generated by the healthcare industry is massive. A single platform system for data collection, preservation, access, and compilation is now required, and health professionals are increasingly aware of the need for such systems. The use of cloud computing in healthcare allows for real-time data analysis, which improves accessibility and workflows, resulting in more proactive healthcare. When migrating from legacy systems to cloud platforms, privacy and security are of the utmost importance. Cloud-native platforms are an excellent solution to these issues. The use of cloud-native platforms can shift the emphasis away from the software, hardware, and infrastructure burden. It protects against data breaches and security breaches while also ensuring compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (GDPR).

The Future of Colocation Hosting and How it is Evolving to Meet … – Robotics and Automation News

Colocation is a type of hosting where the hosting firm rents out space in its data center. You have the space you need in the data centers to manage your needs and keep your server.

Even though they wont be in control of the hardware and software the server colocation hosting provider assumes full responsibility for keeping a secure server environment.

Unlike cloud hosting, server colocation hosting necessitates that customers supply their own hardware. They look for a place that will accommodate their gear and software. When you choose cloud hosting in contrast your supplier includes both the hardware and the hosting space.

In a server colocation facility hosting for servers is very different from managed hosting. While the latter is in charge of managing and maintaining the servers the former is only responsible for retaining your server by providing the best hosting space.

Colocation hosting is the best solution for businesses that are in control of their hardware and software resources.

Your colocation hosting provider makes the necessary conditions for your resources to be kept in the defined area. Space is allotted in accordance with the plan you bought.

These server colocation hosting companies accept the need to deliver the greatest server environment possible through first-rate server administration. However, the colocation clients are responsible for handling any resource-based needs or expansions that arise within.

As a result, server colocation is the ideal solution for clients that lack the specialized server management and experience required to meet their expanding server requirements. The colocation service provider for servers stays out of the way of expanding demands and server operations.

Colocation hosting has been developing quickly to accommodate the changing needs of businesses. It is a sort of data center service that enables companies to rent physical space, power, cooling, and connectivity for their servers and other IT equipment. The followings are some of the trends and advancements influencing colocation hosting in the future:

Businesses are increasingly opting for colocation hosting services that offer better flexibility and scalability as a result of the rise of cloud computing. In response colocation providers are providing flexible contract periods and the option to add or remove equipment as necessary.

As environmental consciousness increases, businesses are looking for colocation providers who promote sustainability. This has led to an increase in the usage of energy-efficient technology, such as green electricity energy-saving cooling systems, and the use of recycled materials in data center construction.

Security has emerged as a top concern for businesses due to the increasingly complex and pervasive nature of cyber attacks. To safeguard their clients sensitive data and IT systems colocation providers are investing in cutting-edge security features like biometric access control round-the-clock monitoring, and multi-layer firewalls.

Edge computing, a technology that analyses data closer to the source of data generation, is becoming more and more popular as the volume of data generated by a lot of devices keeps growing.

Colocation providers are investing in edge data centers to give businesses the option of processing and storing data closer to the source reducing latency and improving performance.

Businesses want quicker and more dependable connectivity as cloud computing and other data-intensive technologies become increasingly popular.

To accommodate this demand colocation service providers are making investments in fast fiber optic networks and other cutting-edge connectivity technologies.

Today, many firms combine on-premises private cloud and public cloud solutions. In response to this trend, colocation providers are providing multi-cloud solutions that let companies store their data across many platforms and locations.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are being used by colocation providers to increase the effectiveness and dependability of their data centers. AI-powered systems, for instance, may monitor and anticipate equipment problems, improve cooling and power usage, and decrease downtime.

In conclusion, uk colo hosting is evolving to better meet the changing needs of businesses by offering more flexibility, sustainability, security, edge computing capabilities, and high-speed connectivity.

As businesses rely more and more on IT to support their operations, colocation hosting will remain crucial in helping them manage and protect their data and IT systems.

As long as organizations continue to demand more efficient, secure, and environmentally friendly data center solutions colocation hosting has a bright future.

As technology advances, colocation service providers will continue to invest in new goods and services to meet the changing demands of their clients.

8 Basic Server Types Used in Computer Networking – MUO – MakeUseOf

In modern programming, the prevailing architecture relies on client-server communication. A client computer requests data from a server. The server receives the request and responds to it with the data or an error of some sort.

The word server can refer to both computer hardware and software that provides functionality for other programs.

Servers play a vital role in the consumption of goods and services and many types are used in computer networking. Learn what they are, their use cases, and how they differ.

An origin server listens to and responds to incoming internet requests. It's typically used in conjunction with edge and caching servers. Origin servers consist of one or more programs delivering web content to clients.

It's commonly used to serve clients like a website with data. Origin servers can be slow. This is because speed depends on the distance between the client and the server. The server has to process clients' requests and responses, which delays loading.

You can reduce the latency of origin servers using a Content Delivery Network (CDN). A CDN consists of distributed servers that cache content close to the client. This reduces the distance between an origin server and a client, reducing latency.

CDNs easily transfer internet assets like HTML pages, JavaScript files, images, and videos. These assets assist in the transfer of internet content.

A Proxy server is an application that acts as an intermediary between a client and a server. They process a request on behalf of the client and mask its identity. They deliver the response from the source server.

Proxy servers act as content control software. They filter encrypted data, log, access services, and boost security in the network. Proxy servers use different types of protocols to get work done.

You can create your own Proxy server to help hide the identity of your devices on the web. This can lessen the chance of you suffering an attack. Organizations use proxy servers to restrict the type of web content available on their network. They work together with origin servers to reduce latency and improve security.

A web server is both software and hardware that processes requests over the web. Web servers use network protocols to process content. These protocols include HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), and FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

Web servers work to display website content. They process, store, and deliver content through the web, to users. The web server hardware connects and exchanges data with connected devices.

The software controls how a user accesses the data. You can use web servers in web hosting or hosting data for web-based applications.

Database servers manage databases containing data or information. They can be any server that maintains files in a database application. They control access to the database for authorized users.

Programmers create databases on database servers using scripting languages like SQL. Applications have to connect to the database server to access the database.

Database servers keep backup data in a central location. They allow authorized users and applications on the network to access the data. Organizations use database servers to filter client requests and protect data.

One database can have several servers, and several databases can have one server. Examples of database servers include Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle.

A cloud server is a centralized server hosted remotely by a cloud service provider. Clients can access the server via an internet connection. Like physical servers, cloud servers can store, process and deliver data. Cloud servers provide services to clients remotely regardless of location.

Cloud servers are physical servers delivered through the internet. This happens through a process called virtualization. When a hypervisor abstracts physical servers, it creates a virtual resource. The virtual resource is then automated and delivered to clients through the internet.

Clients that use cloud servers don't own or manage their own physical servers. Instead, a third-party organization provides server services. This is the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) model.

It's a form of cloud computing that provides virtual services over the internet. Clients pay to use cloud servers to store and manage resources and scale whenever they want. Clients can share a public cloud or have a private or hybrid cloud(on-premise and virtual). Examples of cloud server providers include Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.

Mail servers control the sending and receiving of mail over a network. Receives mail from clients and delivers mail to other mail servers and clients. Mail servers handle and deliver email over a network like the internet.

A mail server powers email services. It receives an email from a client and delivers it to another mail server. A client can be any computing software, for example, a desktop or mobile device. Mail servers use SMTP to process and deliver information. Gmail provides a free SMTP server that you can use to send emails from your app or website. Examples of clients that use mail servers include Gmail, Yahoo, etc.

A DNS (Domain Name Service) server translates domain names to corresponding IP addresses. Your browser references a DNS server when you type a domain name into your browser. In a computer network, all devices have an identifying IP address. They use the IP address to identify themselves when connecting to the internet.

A DNS server lets you avoid memorizing IP addresses. Instead, typing in a domain name translates into the IP address and finds the resource you seek. There are dynamic DNS servers and static DNS servers. You can either do it manually or use a free dynamic DNS provider.

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Communication Protocol) server configures the network settings of client computers. It dynamically allocates IP addresses to computers in a LAN network. Without a DHCP server, you would have to configure IP addresses for each device in your network manually.

Servers exist to facilitate the provision of data to users. They can manage a network, share programs, host databases and web pages, and transfer e-mail.

There are many other types of servers used in computer networking. Others like FTP servers, application servers, DHCP, and file servers are equally important. Each server has specific functions and use cases.

It's important to know how servers function if you work in tech. Understanding servers helps you to maximize their capabilities on physical and virtual platforms.

Scale Computing Expands Edge to Cloud Video Surveillance with … – PR Newswire

INDIANAPOLIS, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Scale Computing, the market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, today announced its edge video surveillance solutions have been extended to include cloud video surveillance storage with Wasabi Surveillance Cloud and theIntel NUC Enterprise Edge Compute Built with Scale Computing. Together, Scale Computing and Wasabi deliver an edge to cloud surveillance solution that is easy to use, minimizes disruption, and allows access to video as usual, and when paired with the Intel EEC customers have a bottomless-storage, edge to cloud appliance. The company also announced its participation at ISC West in Las Vegas this week.

"Video and AI are going through a massive transformation, creating an opportunity for the industry to leverage edge technologies from companies like Scale Computing and Wasabi that enable better performance, agility, choice, and cost," said Kasia Hanson, Global Director, Video, Safety & Security Sales at Intel. "As the video surveillance and security markets continue to grow rapidly, shifting from analog video cameras, CCTV, and proprietary recording appliances to digital IP-based cameras, the demand for near real-time response is driving this need for computing power at the edge of a network. By combining the power of Intel NUC EEC with the simplicity and reliability of Scale Computing HyperCore software, organizations have an efficient, scalable, and comprehensive edge computing solution."

"Organizations are making significant technology investments in video surveillance, and Wasabi Surveillance Cloud is a first-of-its-kind solution offered by a cloud provider that enables these organizations to offload video surveillance footage from their local storage environment directly to the cloud without ever running out of capacity," said David Boland, VP of Cloud Strategy at Wasabi. "This 'bottomless' approach to video storage, combined with Scale Computing, is vital for the surveillance industry as it struggles to manage enormous amounts of video in high resolution environments and increasingly large file sizes tied to surveillance."

Scale Computing and Wasabi combine industry-leading, on-premises edge computing with easy-to-use cloud data retention and archival to create the agile, hybrid-cloud environment needed today. With seamless integration with all major VMS providersinside of Wasabi Surveillance Cloud, Scale Computing is now able to expand to organizations' needs for critical video surveillance at the edge to the cloud.

Key benefits include:

"We're seeing a lot of security organizations and businesses beginning to adopt cloud storage as a way to reduce video storage complexity and costs. As they do so, one of the main obstacles that they face is converting the file-based format to a cloud object storage format," said Scott Loughmiller, Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Scale Computing. "Organizations can now combine on-premises Scale Computing clusters and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, allowing recent video to be stored locally at the edge until it's moved to the cloud where it can be kept for as long as the organization needs it."

To learn more about edge to cloud video surveillance, please visit the Scale Computing team at Wasabi booth #2077 at ISC West (March 28 - 30). Scale Computing is also hosting a Partner Power Hour at 2pm PT on Wednesday, March 29, inside Booth #2077.

Microsofts CEO said he never expected to land the top jobthis is his best piece of career advice – Yahoo Finance

When Satya Nadella walked through the doors of Microsoft's Washington offices in 1992 he told himself, "This is the greatest job on earth. I don't need anything more."

Twenty-two years later, he was named CEO of the company.

Speaking to LinkedIn's CEO Ryan Roslansky as part of its The Path video series, Nadella revealed that when he was growing up his focus wasn't on his studies, but on cricket. His parents, his father a civil servant and his mother a Sanskrit professor, gave him the "room and confidence" to become his own person.

He went to university in India before studying in Wisconsin, landing a job with Silicon Valley stalwart Sun Microsystems after he graduated in 1990. It was a couple of years later in 1992 that he was offered a job at Microsoft.

Nadella, who has led the company since 2014, said he chose the Bill Gatesfounded brand because it reflected a feeling of empowerment. Nadella said he remembered using a computer for the first time as a child: "The malleability of software was the thing that got me hooked. I won't say I was one of those people who took it and said 'That's my future,' but it was there, it was latent."

Years later, Nadella says Microsoft offered echoes of the potential of computing he'd recognized as a child: "It's that feeling of empowerment. I felt that I wanted to make sure that everyone else can feel that because of computing, that freedom you get to express yourself."

Now a board member for the likes of Starbucks and the University of Chicago, as well as the chairman of the Business Council U.S., Nadella said there "was never a time where I thought the job I was doingall throughout my 30 years at Microsoftthat somehow I was doing that as a way to some other job.

"I felt the job I was doing there was the most important thing, I genuinely felt it. And then of course it helped me get my next job."

That feeling led Nadella to his best piece of career advice: "Don't wait for your next job to do your best work. I think sometimes we define our jobs narrowly. One of the managers I worked for said: 'Hey, what if you did a thought experiment and thought of your job not as your job but as my job, and what would you do?'"

As a result, he said, he started taking on some of the burden that was on his manager so that he was expanding his own role without having to wait for a promotion.

Nadella, who was born in southern India, steadily worked his way up the ladder at Microsoft courtesy of this attitude. Having started out working on the development of Microsoft Windows NT, he then turned his talent to the organization's business solutions team. In 2007 he was elevated to the role of senior vice president in research and development, before getting another boost five years later to become president of the server and tools businessworth $19 billion in revenue.

Among Nadella's other achievements is acting as executive vice president for Microsoft's cloud computing platform, which provided the infrastructure bedrock for services such as the Xbox Live gaming network, search engine Bing, and the subscription model for Office 365.

As CEO, Nadella was lauded for his attention on company culture. However, the business has faced criticism this year for announcing 10,000 layoffs the day after hosting a private Sting concert for its executives at Davos.

"Leadership is such a privilege," he said. "Whenever you're leading someone you don't think of it as an entitlement, you should think of it as a privilege. The question is: How do you earn it?"

Leaders must always aim to bring clarity to confusing or ambiguous situations, Nadella said: "However smart you are, if you come in and create more confusion at an already uncertain time, that's not leadership."

His second tip for bosses is to create energy so that people leaving conversations feel buoyed by the interaction they just had. And lastly, he said there's no time for a perfect pitch or ideal conditions to perform in, explaining that it was the task of managers and the CEO to unconstrained teams and allow them to perform. He added no one was the "perfect" leader, but those questioning how they could have brought more clarity, energy, or freedom to their employees will always improve.
