MULTI-SEMINAR DAY

We are doing something special for September, offering “2 for 1” on our free technical seminars. We are holding two seminars on one day. You can attend one or both of the seminars. The first seminar is on primary and secondary storage and will be held from 9:00AM – 12Noon. From 1:00PM – 4:00PM we will hold the second seminar on Symantec’s Endpoint Protection (replaces Symantec Corporate Edition). Lunch will be served for both the AM and PM seminars from Noon – 1:00PM.

So, please join us for one or both of these free technical training seminars. The detailed descriptions are below. Please sign up for each session individually if you plan on attending both. If you just come for the afternoon event, please come at 12:30PM so you can join us for lunch.

Morning Session: Strategies for Optimizing Storage and Backup in a Virtualized Server Environment

SAN based primary storage and disk backup with data de-duplication and replication is becoming the new standard for optimized primary and backup storage. Sever virtualization enablement, ease of scalability and management, incredible backup and restore speeds, and remote backup replication for disaster recovery or the reduction of reliance on tape are just a few of the many advantages. Now you can get much more out of your primary storage and retain many more versions of your backups cost effectively on disk locally as well as greatly reduce the bandwidth required to replicate your backup data to a protected off site location.

Join us and two of our strategic storage partners, Compellent and Exagrid, as we dive deep into primary SAN storage and disk based backup with data de-duplication. This technical seminar will cover the following topics:

Overview of current SAN technology and business benefits
Discussion of how Virtualization has impacted storage and backup strategies
Disk-based backup using data de-duplication
1st and 2nd generation de-duplication technologies
Putting the pieces together - choosing the right tool for each job and making them work together efficiently

During this event, you’ll learn how companies have successfully replaced tape and disk-based backup with data de-duplication while drastically reducing storage cost with feature rich, easy to use SAN technology.

"One of the things we wanted out of a disk-based backup system was a 'set it and forget it' type of product. The ExaGrid has more than lived up to our expectations. Each day, we quickly check the ExaGrid to ensure that everything ran smoothly and then double-check the amount of available disk space, and that's it. We're confident in the system and it's taken the hassle out of our backups."

Afternoon Session: Endpoint Protection

Ever-connected IP-based endpoints are exposed to all kinds of potent threats while the data resident on these devices is constantly susceptible to malicious or accidental data breaches. Risks to these devices grow all the time while IT sometimes continues to handle endpoints with the same old status quo mechanisms or processes.

Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) solutions combine Symantec AntiVirus with advanced threat prevention to deliver unmatched defense against malware for laptops, desktops and servers. They seamlessly integrate essential security technologies in a single agent and management console, increasing protection and helping lower total cost of ownership.

If you are already running Symantec Corporate Edition you can upgrade to SEP for free. We will contrast the differences between the older “Corporate Edition” and the new SEP solution as well as discuss what is involved in the upgrade.

Join us along with Symantec engineers as we dive deep into the challenges and solutions surrounding Endpoint Protection. This technical seminar will cover the following topics:

SEP is the next generation of Symantec Corporate Edition AV
SEP product development lifecycle - now stable and ready for “prime time”
Reasons you would want to upgrade from Corporate Edition to SEP
How SEP helps prevent security outbreaks
How SEP lowers TCO for endpoint security
Ways to reduces administrative effort when protecting endpoints

As with all TNS seminars, we will not only explore how this technology reduces costs and makes your job easier, but also how it actually works.

The “M3: Endpoint Protection” training seminar will be held on Wednesday, September 23rd from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. A light lunch will be served before the seminar, sponsored by Symantec. Symantec Engineers will be available to answer all of your technical questions.
