The decision to support Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server Continuation of our series on InMage’s support of Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server. Part 1: InMage Scout protects Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007, but document management is not new to InMage Part 2: InMage uses two agents to support the confluence in Document Management systems The decision to support Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server continuous data protection was very challenging in prior versions. Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 was a short lived document management/basic content services system based on Microsoft’s Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) used by Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft SharePoint Portal Sever 2003 was a reworked version of the 2001 edition and required Microsoft SQL instead of ESE. The downside was that SharePoint Portal Server 2003 didn’t support snapshots or any type of recovery other than whole system recovery. SharePoint Portal Sever was generally unprotected from 2003 through 2007 and couldn’t be effectively supported in a disaster recovery/business continuity scenario. Thankfully Microsoft resolved that issue in SharePoint Portal Server 2007 by releasing a VSS writer for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server. Earlier this year I explained what a VSS Writer did and how VSS works in a two part series Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) for Continuous Data Protectio (Part 1) and Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) for Continuous Data Protectio (Part 2). From Part 1 Microsoft’s VSS works by using three pieces a requester, writer and provider. If you have heard about this, then skip to the last paragraph and wait for part 2 due later this week. The requester is your traditional backup solution. Requester’s send collection inquiries to the application you want to protect. This application must understand the collection inquiry sent to it by the requester and needs a writer designed to support the application data and data types. The writer is written by the application developers, not the backup vendor, to ensure the most stable and consistent recoveries. InMage immediately supports the application because of the VSS writer included with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007. The VSS framework makes it very easy for a VSS requester to support virtually all new VSS writers without issue. InMage supports the requester framework. InMage, using the previous knowledge of document management, identified the confluence of VX Agent volume replication, FX Agent file replication, FX Agent scheduling and VSS requester/writer support to deliver a comprehensive Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007 solution as of the third quarter of 2007. Rajeev Atluri, CTO of InMage, told me that the development and product management team moved from an internal Wiki to SharePoint Portal Server in an attempt to better understand the day to day underpinnings of SharePoint Portal Server. Such a great move for a great company to use the products they develop..

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS, PARTNERS AND EMPLOYEES: It is a humbling experience to write this letter to you as only the third CEO in Microsoft’s history. As I said when I took this role, I originally joined Microsoft to have an opportunity to change the world through technology and empower people to do amazing things. Many companies aspire to change the world, but very few have the talent, resources and perseverance of Microsoft. I believe this is a landmark moment for the company and for our industry as a whole. Cloud and mobile technologies are redefining how people work and play. Three billion people will soon be connected to Internet-enabled devices; 212 billion sensors will come online in a few short years; trillions will be spent in consumer and business technologies. But it’s not about technology for technology’s sake! It’s our mission to enable the use of technology to realize the true potential of people, teams and organizations. As I shared in my email to employees in July, we will be the productivity and platform company for this mobile-first and cloud-first world. We will empower every person and every organization on the planet to do more and achieve more. And we will accomplish this by building incredible Digital Work and Life Experiences, supported by our Cloud Operating System, the Device Operating System and Hardware platforms. In the same way that we aspired to and achieved our original vision of a PC on every desk and in every home, we will reinvent productivity. This clarity of purpose and boldness of our aspiration inspires me and all of us at Microsoft.

Azure Site Recovery: Automated VM Provisioning and Failover
White Paper Azure Site Recovery: Automated VM Provisioning and Failover Sponsored by: Microsoft Peter Rutten Al Gillen March 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Data is the currency of modern business, and vigorously protecting this data is imperative, regardless of industry or company size — from small and medium-sized business (SMB) to enterprise to hosted service provider (HSP). The penalty for prolonged downtime or data loss can be severe. In the 3rd Platform era, in which mobile, big data, cloud, and social networking are transforming IT, data of systems of record is being joined by a tsunami of data from systems of engagement, and together they form the basis for data of insight from which competitive advantage is obtained. In this evolving environment, data protection means ensuring that the infrastructure — whether onsite or in the cloud — that captures and processes data cannot go down (high availability, or HA); ensuring that if there is an infrastructure problem, no data is lost (disaster recovery, or DR); and guaranteeing that if data is lost, the most recent copies possible of that data exist somewhere, can be retrieved, and can be brought online instantly to maintain uninterrupted business continuity (backup and recovery). The majority of mission-critical workloads are running on x86 systems today, and classic availability software that has been used in the past primarily on RISC-based Unix servers can be costly to acquire and complex to implement on x86 servers. Further, implementation of classic HA software often required built-in application awareness. These complexities caused enough financial and resource burden that medium-sized firms, and even some branch offices or remote sites of larger organizations, elected to avoid the expense and live dangerously — without an availability solution.
