Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers
Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy
Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to “bare metal.” After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Bare Metal Recovery
Any open-source recommendations for Bare-Metal recovery? I'm familiar with HP's ignite, and IBM's MKSYSB for their unix variants, but I'm not aware of a native tool or open-source tool.
Windows restore point does
Windows restore point does not even touch your user files and is basically an emergency tool when you get a virus or a driver blows the world up. Restore point does not = backup. This is truly a backup and since all your settings are stored in dot files in your home directly, your settings are backed up. In other words you write over a document on accident, just recover from an hour ago. This was so fast it almost seemed like it is using lvm tricks.
Ehh..
Did I see this correctly? Did he just configure the app to save snapshots of the user directory (which includes the documents directory) in the documents directory? Or am I missing something here?
Yes, but
I did save to a Documents folder, but for me that's an NFS mounted server. Also, you can back up to a local folder inside the snapshot area, you just tell it not to back up the backup files. :)

ehh
sudo apt-get install foo might be better
hehe
I take it the real gag is "who needs backups"!
Nice....
it seems nice but it isn't going to save the setting and backup files like "windows restore point"
????
tell it to? so hard, check
tell it to? so hard, check /etc for settings backup, check /var/log for log files. Damn, this is too difficult, I demand refund! :O
