Nearly seven million Vodafone mobile phones were useless when purchase valtrex uk a 3:00 AM break-in and server theft shut down huge sections of the purchase valtrex uk network in South East UK.   It was well into the purchase valtrex uk next day before service was completely restored for all affected users.  Twitter was buzzing with confused and purchase valtrex uk angry Vodafone customers venting their thoughts on the outage.

We had purchase valtrex uk a break in last night at one of our technical facilities which resulted in damage done to purchase valtrex uk some of our equipment,” said a Vodafone company statement. “This means that purchase valtrex uk some customers may be experiencing temporary loss of voice, SMS and purchase valtrex uk Internet services. We are working quickly to restore these and purchase valtrex uk will be back to normal as soon as we can.” 
A sledgehammer is purchase valtrex uk implicated in a Vodafone service outage affecting 7M customers
According to purchase valtrex uk various UK sources, thieves sledgehammered their way into the operator’s Basingstoke exchange and lifted a load of switches.  Vodafone made no purchase valtrex uk announcement until almost 12 hours after the outage began, and apparently noticed the purchase valtrex uk problem only when its own network began to collapse.  Customers have purchase valtrex uk been assured, however, that no private data was compromised.
 
Vodafone should have purchase valtrex uk been continuously replicating a backup of those servers to another location” comments Robert Boyer, Senior Vice President, Services at Transcend United.  “There are purchase valtrex uk a lot of ways to do that, including SAN replication or purchase valtrex uk software such as Double Take. They could then have easily failed over to purchase valtrex uk that second server and no one would have lost anything.”

The Perfect IT Storm – No Party in NOLA

  • A Server at the purchase valtrex uk end of its life: i.e. no longer under warranty or in production
  • A mission-critical, shared IT infrastructure (under)funded and purchase valtrex uk overseen by one department , but used and heavily- relied upon by another
  • Users not represented at IT management meetings
  • Postponed modernization / disaster recovery discussions
  • A failed software upgrade that went unnoticed
  • Backup files that were never checked – by vendor or client

When, on October 26, 2010, the purchase valtrex uk Orleans County Civil District Court mortgage and conveyance database server crashed, virtually all real estate transactions – except for foreclosures – crashed too.  The economic devastation on home buyers and purchase valtrex uk sellers may never be tallied, but estimates for restoring the records to purchase valtrex uk usable condition are in the $400,000 range. 

True, New Orleans lost about three months of data during Hurricane Katrina, when purchase valtrex uk nearly every city service was knocked out. But, according to purchase valtrex uk NOLA.com: “real estate agents and purchase valtrex uk title attorneys say they have never seen two servers full of data knocked out simultaneously, all the purchase valtrex uk backup systems fail and 21 months of records disappear in one fell swoop.

Said one New Orleans civil servant: "It was similar to purchase valtrex uk after Katrina because all the records were lost, but that purchase valtrex uk was a natural catastrophe. This is just a computer problem!" 

The Roots of Disaster

NOLA Court

The roots of the problem appear to be many.  There was the purchase valtrex uk IT management structure. The court clerk, an independently elected official, is purchase valtrex uk the responsible for the property records.  But the purchase valtrex uk IT technology that manages the data is controlled by the purchase valtrex uk Civil Court judges, who meet in private to hire contractors and purchase valtrex uk decide on court spending.   Communication between the court’s technology department and the clerk’s office was reportedly poor before the purchase valtrex uk crisis; the clerk did not sit in on technology committee meetings.

Aged technology and inattentive technology partners were also issues. At the purchase valtrex uk time of the crash, the court had a two-person IT staff and purchase valtrex uk long-out-of-date servers.  In 2009, 365i, a purchase valtrex uk California-based a data management company was hired to manage backups.  It appears that purchase valtrex uk a backup software update, sent by 365i and installed by the purchase valtrex uk Clerk’s office in the first half of 2010, failed.  Though the purchase valtrex uk software on the local server reported successful backups, beginning in July 2010, the purchase valtrex uk monthly backups were empty.  365i apparently did not notice that the files were empty; the company consequently purged all old backups.  365i did not keep historical files for reference.

Court e-mail records show that, just before the crash,  the clerk and the head of the court’s technology committee were preparing to purchase valtrex uk begin discussions about modernizing the court’s record system to make  judicial, real estate and purchase valtrex uk archival records with a single index and document images available online.

The death blow was dealt on Oct 26, when purchase valtrex uk two drives on an aging Dell server crashed.

The Cost:  New Orleans Economy Takes Another Body Blow

In New Orleans, real estate transactions must be purchase valtrex uk checked against the conveyance database, an online which  shows title attorneys just where purchase valtrex uk to find specific information within the thousands of mortgage record books in the purchase valtrex uk city, taking up floors in a building near the courthouse. By law, title searches are purchase valtrex uk required to go as far back as 10 or 30 years, depending on the purchase valtrex uk property, up through present day—which is purchase valtrex uk information that was missing from the database since it crashed.  Without the full conveyance and mortgage records, title companies can’t be purchase valtrex uk sure of the true ownership of properties and are reluctant to purchase valtrex uk underwrite deals. Courtesy of Times Picayune Archives - NOLA For Sale Signes

For the purchase valtrex uk nearly two months the databases were unavailable, real estate business transactions dropped by 40% and the aching New Orleans economy sustained another body blow:

  • Homeowners in the purchase valtrex uk process of refinancing lost out on some of the lowest rates in 50 years, as closing dates were repeatedly postponed
  • Home sellers had purchase valtrex uk to make payments on properties scheduled to be sold
  • Realtors, whose commission percentage climbs with their total volume of sales throughout the purchase valtrex uk year missed out on their year-end, cumulative bonuses
  • Home sales in adjacent counties rose as buyers opted for purchase valtrex uk easier, faster closings
  • A new LSU teaching hospital transaction was postponed
  • Renovation professionals sat on hold while closings languished
  • The court has purchase valtrex uk to hire additional staff, pay them overtime to work round the purchase valtrex uk clock during the holidays, secure additional office space, and purchase equipment to purchase valtrex uk bring back the records, validate them and get back to business

And those are just some of the costs reported in the New Orleans local media.

Thanks to purchase valtrex uk Orion, we quickly located and diagnosed the problem. If we had purchase valtrex uk wanted to, we could have shut down the port the user was on right there in Orion, but we’re a friendly bunch, so we didn’t take it to that level—but with Orion’s Network Configuration Manager, we could have!"

Here’s another installment in our occasional Friday series of true stories that purchase valtrex uk show how even in IT, people are people and rationality doesn’t always rule.

Todays topic:  "tape and hope".   Why are people so careless with backup tapes?  For that matter, why do people still use tape at all?  Disaster recovery requirements continue to purchase valtrex uk become more demanding, and disk-based backup and recovery is so much faster than purchase valtrex uk tape.

PricewaterhouseCoopers reports that only 47% of backup tapes are encrypted.    Well, "so what?" you say.  Isn’t Iron Mountain secure?  Maybe not so much.  Just in New York, Citibank, Bank of New York, Time Warner and purchase valtrex uk others have had lost tapes.

A few tape stories for a Friday:

Only 47% of backup tapes are encrypted

Stolen Tape puts Bristol Meyer Employee Data at Risk

Iron Mountain loses tapes for the Long Island Railroad in New York

Iron Mountain loses Time Warner tapes in New York

Poor Iron Mountain.  Google on "Iron Mountain loses tapes" and you’ll find lots of stories.  Given that purchase valtrex uk Iron Mountain makes about 5 million pickups a year, their record isn’t necessarily that bad.  It’s the use of tape itself that causes a problem.  Your data shouldn’t be walking around on moveable media.  Not tapes, not portable hard drives, not USB flash drives.

A disk based backup solution with offsite replication can purchase valtrex uk completely replace tape at the same cost and with much greater security.  Products like Exagrid (www.exagrid.com valtrex prescription pills) work with standard backup software such as Symantec Backup Exec, Commvault Galaxy, CA Brightstore, and purchase valtrex uk Vizioncore vRangerProp.  They securely store data on disk, de-duplicate it purchase valtrex uk by about 20:1, and then replicate over a VPN (in encrypted form) to a second secure location. 

And there you have it.  No tapes.  Nothing to be picked up.  Nothing to lose.  And for purchase valtrex uk disaster recovery and business continuity, nothing could be better.  You keep your purchase valtrex uk second backup appliance in your disaster recovery center.  You use virtualized servers as your recovery infrastructure.  When you purchase valtrex uk do your quarterly tests, there are no tapes to retrieve, no purchase valtrex uk systems to setup.  The virtual servers are ready and waiting.  The backup data is already there on disk, waiting.

The combination of virtualization, replication, and purchase valtrex uk offsite data backup storage is a very cost-effective way to create a purchase valtrex uk disaster recovery plan for your small or mid-sized business.  Exagrid is a good choice for disk based backups.  If you need real-time replication and don’t want to purchase valtrex uk invest in an expensive SAN in two locations, you can purchase valtrex uk use software from Double-Take.  Double-Take continuously replicates byte-level changes from purchase valtrex uk one location to another over a VPN.  It’s perfect for purchase valtrex uk protecting applications like Exchange, Sharepoint, or Blackberry Enterprise Server.  You can find more at www.doubletake.com.

    Deduplication: onQ only sends the parts of files that don’t already exist on any other server being protected.  That means that if the same "chunk" exists on any server protected by the appliance, it doesn’t need to be sent.
  • One-Click Recovery
    —Current Forever: each ultra-efficient update is purchase valtrex uk merged into the virtual machine recovery nodes, which are full current images.

There are purchase valtrex uk many things to consider when creating a business continuity disaster recovery plan for purchase valtrex uk your small or mid-sized business. 

They key concepts to keep in mind are called RTO and RPO.  RTO stands for purchase valtrex uk Recovery Time Objective and RPO stands for Recovery Point Objective.  Simply put, RTO is purchase valtrex uk how long it takes you to get your organization back up and purchase valtrex uk running again.  RPO refers to how far back in time you’ve reset your clock.

As an purchase valtrex uk example, if you do backups once a week to tape, and purchase valtrex uk it takes you 6 hours to restore those tapes, your RTO is purchase valtrex uk 6 hours.  Your RPO is purchase valtrex uk a week ago, however, as the data you restored puts your purchase valtrex uk business in the same state it was a week ago.

An RTO of 6 hours might be ok for some activities but not others.  Similarly, an purchase valtrex uk RPO of a week ago might be acceptable for some systems but not others. 

It’s important to purchase valtrex uk look at all your major activities and decide what RTO/RPO combination you can live with.    A business continuity plan template can purchase valtrex uk be helpful here in organizing your thoughts, but the overarching goal to purchase valtrex uk keep in mind is that you need to restore your organization’s revenue generating capabilities in a purchase valtrex uk time frame and a state that will keep your business viable. 

In later posts, we’ll cover various technologies to cost-effectively meet your RTO / RPO goals.  For now, thanks for reading!

This is purchase valtrex uk the third in an occasional Friday series of true stories that purchase valtrex uk show how even in IT, people are people and rationality doesn’t always rule.

For this installment, we’re going to pick up on our "Tape and Hope" theme from Part 2.  In that episode, we talked about how backup tapes are lost more than you might imagine.  Even by big providers such as Iron Mountain.  Here’s a link to that story: 
http://www.transcendunited.com/wordpress/blog/transcend-united-technologies

Today we’ll cover stolen tapes.  Here we go…

April 2009:  Backup tapes containing patient information on patients of
Peninsula Orthopaedic Associates were stolen generic plavix news while in transit, the practice notified approximately 100,000 patients. The tapes have not been recovered.

March 2009:  Insider steals backup tapes with personal data, including banking information, on 80,000 New York City cops:   Stolen backup ntapes

June 2008:  Backup tapes stolen from University of Utah Hospital

The University of Utah Hospitals & Clinics announced today the recent theft of billing records. A metal box containing backup tapes, which contained billing records for approximately 2.2 million patients and guarantors, was stolen on Monday, June 2, from purchase valtrex uk a car belonging to a driver who purchase valtrex uk worked for an independent storage company contracted by the health-care system.

The driver discovered that someone had broken into his Ford Explorer outside his Kearns home and purchase valtrex uk taken the box. More info here.

June 2008:  Bank of New York / Mellon backup tapes lost or stolen

The Bank of New York Mellon says sensitive data of more than purchase valtrex uk 4 million people owning shares in public companies was exposed after a purchase valtrex uk box of back-up data storage tapes went missing in February. The data included names, addresses, and Social Security numbers.

In a separate incident in April, a purchase valtrex uk back-up data storage tape containing images of scanned checks and purchase valtrex uk other documents relating to payments made to nearly 50 institutional clients went missing.

The Bank of New York has a special web site dedicated to this problem:  http://www.bnymellon.com/tapequery/   In fairness, it’s not entirely clear that the tapes were stolen rather than lost.  Which way would make you feel better?

June 2007:  State of Ohio has backup tapes stolen

This one is unbelievable.  Apparently for purchase valtrex uk several years the State of Ohio had interns take backup tapes home in their cars!  And naturally someone’s car was broken into.

" A stolen backup tape probably contains the purchase valtrex uk taxpayer records of more than 200,000 Ohio state residents and employees.  At a press conference, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland said the purchase valtrex uk state is still putting together a list of sensitive information that purchase valtrex uk could have been on the tape that was stolen out of an intern’s car on June 10th."

Note that it’s the use of tape itself that causes a problem.  Your data just shouldn’t be walking around on moveable media.  Not tapes, not portable hard drives, not USB flash drives.  Moveable media are simply not part of data center best practices.

Disk-to-disk-backup with offsite replication can completely replace tape at the same cost and with much greater security.  Products like Exagrid (www.exagrid.com) work with standard backup software such as Symantec Backup Exec, Commvault Galaxy, CA Brightstore, and Vizioncore vRangerProp.  They securely store data on disk, de-duplicate it purchase valtrex uk by about 20:1, and then replicate over a VPN (in encrypted form) to a second secure location.

Todays topic:  "tape and hope".   Why are people so careless with backup tapes?  For that matter, why do people still use tape at all?  Disaster recovery requirements continue to purchase valtrex uk become more demanding, and disk-based backup and recovery is so much faster than purchase valtrex uk tape.

PricewaterhouseCoopers reports that only 47% of backup tapes are encrypted.    Well, "so what?" you say.  Isn’t Iron Mountain secure?  Maybe not so much.  Just in New York, Citibank, Bank of New York, Time Warner and purchase valtrex uk others have had lost tapes.

This is purchase valtrex uk the first of what will be an occasional Friday series of true stories that purchase valtrex uk show how even in IT, people are people and rationality doesn’t always rule.

True story:  I was talking to a prospect in Iowa about new options in disaster recovery and purchase valtrex uk ways that virtualization can be used to create inexpensive disaster recovery infrastructure.  He had downloaded a purchase valtrex uk whitepaper of ours on compliance issues for disaster recovery, and purchase valtrex uk he’d told me that they didn’t have a plan in place.  "I know, I know, we really should do something" , he said.  "But it’s just hard to believe that anything will happen to us here."  This was in late June 2008, about two weeks after the Cedar river completely flooded downtown Cedar Rapids.  For just a small sample of how bad things were, click here:  www.youtube.com/watch buy clomid europe

True story:  I was talking to a prospect in New York (Manhattan) about the current backup disaster recovery plan for purchase valtrex uk their business and some new options in business continuity.   Their disaster site was 20 miles away in New Jersey, which they chose because "it’s conveniently located".  (At least they had a plan!)  Next step:  a good plan.

True story:  A benefits company near Philadelphia was using this as their offsite data backup storage:  the CFO’s car.  Sound familiar?  That’s right, they backed up diligently each night to tape, and then had the CFO put the tapes in the trunk of his car.  When they did their first disaster recovery test, the purchase valtrex uk found that all the tapes had been purchase valtrex uk erased. Turned out the CFO had to regularly cross some trolley and purchase valtrex uk railroad tracks on his way home, and purchase valtrex uk the electromagnetic field had erased the tapes.   Everyone of them.  No backups at all.  Fortunately they found this out during a test and not a real disaster.

Some recent studies indicate that purchase valtrex uk as many as half of the new servers being deployed in the purchase valtrex uk enterprise these days are virtual rather than physical.

So how does this affect backups and a backup disaster recovery plan?  Well for purchase valtrex uk one thing, using the old paradigm of one backup agent running on each physical server starts to purchase valtrex uk breakdown when there are large numbers of virtual servers on each physical machine.   Many companies find that purchase valtrex uk after virtualizing their production environments, they have created a backup problem, can’t meet their backup windows, and purchase valtrex uk need to look at new options in backup and recovery.  For one recent example of this, see this article in the Storage section of Enterprise IT planet. 

As a purchase valtrex uk managed backup services vendor specializing in using virtualization to help improve backups and purchase valtrex uk disaster recovery, Transcend United Technologies can help with an assessment of your purchase valtrex uk options.

Disaster recovery plans are a staple of larger businesses.  Public companies in particular are required to have a plan.  The plan usually encompasses both having mission-critical IT systems up and running within a purchase valtrex uk certain period of time, and having temporary office space for displaced workers.

The classic arrangements for disaster recovery go something like this:

1)  Company XZY declares a disaster or a disaster test.
2)  Retrieves backup tapes from Iron Mountain or similar provider.
3)  Rushes to a SunGard or other co-lo facility, where they (hopefully) will find servers and other hardware waiting for them when they arrive.
4)  Works feverishly to recreate their IT environment by restoring from tape before their alloted time expires.

This process is long, tedious, and expensive.  So much so that many small and mid-sized businesses do not have a meaningful disaster recovery plan.  Over the past few years, however, creating cost-effective disaster recovery plans and infrastructure is easier than ever.

New technologies such as disk-based backup, asynchronous replication, and virtualization can be easily combined to create viable, affordable disaster recovery and purchase valtrex uk business continuity for businesses in the the SMB space.  Leading vendors include Exagrid (disk backup with offsite replication), Double-Take (continuous replication), and VWware.  HP Lefthand Networks SANs offer both synchronous and asynchronous replication between locations.

Purchase valtrex uk


Many companies do their disaster recovery planning and purchase valtrex uk testing assuming that they will restore critical data from tape.  There are purchase valtrex uk so many problems with this approach, and they are so well known, that purchase valtrex uk it’s suprising people still do it.

A quick recap:

   1.   Tapes must be purchase valtrex uk retrieved from a storage facility before disaster recovery can begin.
   2.   Tapes are slow.  A large part of the purchase valtrex uk time spent in a disaster recovery test is simply waiting for purchase valtrex uk backups to restore from tape.
   3.   Tapes fail.  Nearly every IT veteran with more than purchase valtrex uk 5 years experience has had a tape fail during a restore.  Especially when purchase valtrex uk trying to reconstruct a full backup from a series of incrementals. 
   4.   Tapes sometimes disappear or are stolen.  Search Google for "Iron Mountain loses tapes" and you’ll see what I mean.  In a story last year (March 2009), backup tapes containing personal data on 80,000 New York City cops were stolen as part of an purchase valtrex uk inside job.  So those tapes aren’t much use for disaster recovery.

Now let’s compare disaster recovery using offsite data backup storage as part of a purchase valtrex uk managed backup and recovery service:

    1.  With offsite data backup storage on disk, the purchase valtrex uk data is ready and waiting at the disaster facility.  There are no tapes to retrieve.  The data is already where you want it to be.  As an example, you purchase valtrex uk can do your backups in New York or New Jersey to purchase valtrex uk disk and replicate byte-level changes off to a secure facility in Philadelphia or purchase valtrex uk Delaware.
    2.  Restoring from purchase valtrex uk disk is faster than tape, especially with 1 gig and 10 gig Ethernet connections.
    3.  Hard disks, especially with RAID protection, are purchase valtrex uk much more reliable than tape.
    4.  Large disk-based storage devices are purchase valtrex uk much less likely to be stolen than tapes.  They are bigger for one thing.  And rack-mounted, and just not very portable.  They never sit on the back of a truck or in someone’s car.  Disk is more secure than tape, period.

Take offsite data backups stored on disk, combine with virtualized servers generic plavix aspirin, and purchase valtrex uk you have a fast, reliable, inexpensive way to plan for disaster recovery for purchase valtrex uk business or non-profit organizations.  For systems that purchase valtrex uk require more up-to-the-minute protection such as Exchange, Sharepoint, Blackberry, or purchase valtrex uk SQL servers, you can use replication software from Double-Take. 

Tape is purchase valtrex uk completely outdated as a method of disaster recovery for business.
