As customers and service providers begin to consolidate more and more applications and workloads onto shared storage infrastructures, it becomes increasingly difficult to coordinate outages for planned downtime for things, such as hardware refreshes. This difficulty is because many users, groups, or customers might be using the shared storage infrastructure at the same time. Users expect these infrastructures to be available 24/7, so it is imperative that service outages that are required for storage life-cycle management, cost/service-level optimization, and any other planned downtime do not disturb the availability of the always-on infrastructure. In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we introduce you to the business value of Data Motion and its features. Storage and system administrators, data center managers, and IT as a service (ITaaS) providers will benefit from reading this book. In this publication, we assume that you have a basic knowledge of N series storage systems and Data ONTAP®, SnapMirror®, MultiStore®, and Provisioning Manager. A complete understanding of all Provisioning Manager features is not necessary. Also, basic knowledge of host and vFiler management from Provisioning Manager is sufficient. Data Motion significantly improves the availability of shared storage infrastructure by avoiding the service outages that are associated with planned activities, such as storage life-cycle management and cost/service-level optimization, thus helping you to enable an always-on IT environment. The business values of Data Motion are: - No planned downtime for: - Storage capacity expansion - Scheduled maintenance outages - Technology refresh - Improved SLA flexibility: - On-demand load balancing - Adjustable storage tiers - Application transparency: - No performance impact - Transaction integrity
This IBM® Redbooks® publication presents an overview of implementing N series SnapMirror Async technology, with step-by-step configuration examples and recommendations to assist the reader in designing an optimal SnapMirror solution. There are several approaches to increasing data availability in the face of hardware, software, or even site failures. Backups provide a way to recover lost data from an archival medium (tape or disk). Redundant hardware technologies also help mitigate the damage caused by hardware issues or failures. Mirroring provides a third mechanism to facilitate data availability and minimize downtime. SnapMirror offers a fast and flexible enterprise solution for mirroring or replicating data over local area, wide area, and Fibre Channel (FC) networks. SnapMirror can be a key component in implementing enterprise data protection strategies. If a disaster occurs at a source site, businesses can access mission-critical data from a replica on a remote N series storage system for uninterrupted operation.
IBM® System Storage® N series technology enables companies to extend their virtual infrastructures to include the benefits of advanced storage virtualization. The N series offers unified storage solutions that provide industry-leading technologies in the areas of storage efficiencies, instantaneous virtual machine and datastore cloning for virtual servers and virtual desktops, and virtual data center backup and business continuance solutions. This IBM Redbooks® publication reviews the best practices for anyone who is implementing VMware® vSphere with N series unified storage arrays.

Contrary to common intuition that all digits should occur randomly with equal chances in real data, empirical examinations consistently show that not all digits are created equal, but rather that low digits such as {1, 2, 3} occur much more frequently than high digits such as {7, 8, 9} in almost all data types, such as those relating to geology, chemistry, astronomy, physics, and engineering, as well as in accounting, financial, econometrics, and demographics data sets. This intriguing digital phenomenon is known as Benford's Law.This book gives a comprehensive and in-depth account of all the theoretical aspects, results, causes and explanations of Benford's Law, with a strong emphasis on the connection to real-life data and the physical manifestation of the law. In addition to such a bird's eye view of the digital phenomenon, the conceptual distinctions between digits, numbers, and quantities are explored; leading to the key finding that the phenomenon is actually quantitative in nature; originating from the fact that in extreme generality, nature creates many small quantities but very few big quantities, corroborating the motto 'small is beautiful', and that therefore all this is applicable just as well to data written in the ancient Roman, Mayan, Egyptian, and other digit-less civilizations.Fraudsters are typically not aware of this digital pattern and tend to invent numbers with approximately equal digital frequencies. The digital analyst can easily check reported data for compliance with this digital law, enabling the detection of tax evasion, Ponzi schemes, and other financial scams. The forensic fraud detection section in this book is written in a very concise and reader-friendly style; gathering all known methods and standards in the accounting and auditing industry; summarizing and fusing them into a singular coherent whole; and can be understood without deep knowledge in statistical theory or advanced mathematics. In addition, a digital algorithm is presented, enabling the auditor to detect fraud even when the sophisticated cheater is aware of the law and invents numbers accordingly. The algorithm employs a subtle inner digital pattern within the Benford's pattern itself. This newly discovered pattern is deemed to be nearly universal, being even more prevalent than the Benford phenomenon, as it is found in all random data sets, Benford as well as non-Benford types.
