The movement towards laptop computers has fueled an unprecedented number of data breaches. For IT and Information Security, encryption and training has proven ineffective against careless users and insider threats. This paper discusses these limitations and explains how endpoint security allows remote deletion of sensitive data, tracking of computers outside the network and the physical recovery of missing computers. Learn how you can ensure mobile data protection regardless of end-user interference.

The powerful tape technology can address data security with tape encryption as well as long term data protection.
Discover what disk and tape really cost -- and which solution provides lower total cost of ownership and optimizes energy use for your organization
The Clipper Group explores the truth behind the myths of tape, digging into the misconceptions in the disk vs. tape debate.
Over two thirds of disk-only users look to add tape back into storage infrastructure according to recent survey.
A storage start-up called Fusion-io that claims it can deliver speeds 1,000 times faster than a single disk drive is making its first product generally available on April 7 and has secured $19 million in venture capital. (Compare storage products.)
Fusion-io, which launched at Network World’s DEMOfall 07, claims to deliver the power of a storage-area network (SAN) at a fraction of the power and cost with its silicon-based product called the ioDrive that fits into a PCIe slot.
Initially available in sizes ranging from 80Gb to 320Gb, Fusion-io says the PCIe card delivers 100,000 IOPS (input/output operations per second). A single disk drive typically delivers about 100 IOPS, so one ioDrive card delivers speed that’s equivalent to 1,000 disk drives aggregated in a SAN, Fusion-io officials say.
“It’s an interesting approach,” says analyst Deni Connor of Storage Strategies NOW, and author of Network World's Storage newsletter. “I don’t necessarily believe they’re going to replace SANs. It’s a good approach for giving new life to servers for running transaction-intensive operations.” (Compare server products.)
Fusion-io’s technology is analogous to EMC’s recently introduced flash-based solid state disk product dubbed “tier zero,” Connor says. The Fusion-io PCIe card would be useful for SQL Server or Oracle databases, and also allows customers to extend use of direct-attached storage in servers, she says.
While Fusion-io says it is targeting enterprises, Connor says that SAN will remain the technology of choice for very large transaction-intensive environments such as CRM applications and customer-facing Web applications. Enterprises may choose to use both Fusion-io technology and disk drives, she says.
Fusion-io, founded in 2006 and based in Salt Lake City, raised $19 million in a funding round led by New Enterprise Associates, the company announced Monday. Fusion-io was founded by CEO Don Basile, CTO David Flynn, and chief marketing officer Rick White.
Fusion-io has more than 60 paying customers already, mainly large Internet properties and financial institutions, according to Basile, who previously held positions with several cable and Internet start-ups, and worked in venture capital.
