HPE0-V17 information hunger - Creating HPE Data Protection Solutions Updated: 2024

The ProLiant Data Protection Server is essentially a bundle of Microsoft&s Windows Data Protection Manager (DPM) software with a ProLiant server, said Duncan Campbell, vice president of marketing for HP StorageWorks.

Windows DPM performs data snapshots as often as once per hour to provide an almost up-to-date copy of data should some of the information be lost or corrupted.

Rich Baldwin, president and CEO of Nth Generation Computing, a San Diego-based HP solution provider, said while other products offer more features than Windows DPM, the combination with the ProLiant server will be aggressively priced.

Also new from HP, Palo Alto, Calif., is model 6480 of its Virtual Tape Library System, which has capacity of up to 10 Tbytes and a throughput of up to 575 MBps.

Customers have been waiting for the 6840, as the previous model&s capacity was too small, Baldwin said. “This is very good competition to Quantum&s DX100 and Overland Storage&s REO,” he said.

HP also introduced a new managed archiving offering called Electronic Vaulting Services for handling secure, scalable, automated remote backup of data in encrypted format to one of 70 HP Recovery Centers around the world.

In addition, HP unveiled its StorageWorks File Migration agent, which uses policies for migrating inactive data to lower-cost storage devices.

Finally, HP debuted its StorageWorks Reference Information Manager for Database Archiving, based on archiving software from OuterBay, Cupertino, Calif., Campbell said. Like the file migration offering, the product identifies inactive information in a company&s databases and relocates it to less-expensive storage.

Archiving databases is a hard problem to solve, said Baldwin, who is glad to see HP partner with OuterBay. “[Reference Information Manager] seems to be one of the better-known archiving products out there,” he said.

Campbell said the Reference Information Manager software will initially be available for Oracle and SAP databases and will be available for Microsoft and PeopleSoft applications in the future.

The ProLiant bundle and the 6840 Virtual Tape Library System are slated to be available Sept. 26. Prices have yet to be determined. The Electronic Vaulting Services, StorageWorks File Migration agent and StorageWorks Reference Information Manager for Database Archiving all are slated to be available next quarter.

Invited Paper

Abstract - This tutorial paper explores the mechanics of protecting computer-stored information from unauthorized use or modification. It concentrates on those architectural structures—whether hardware or software—that are necessary to support information protection. The paper develops in three main sections. Section I describes desired functions, design principles, and examples of elementary protection and authentication mechanisms. Any reader familiar with computers should find the first section to be reasonably accessible. Section II requires some familiarity with descriptor-based computer architecture. It examines in depth the principles of modern protection architectures and the relation between capability systems and access control list systems, and ends with a brief analysis of protected subsystems and protected objects. The reader who is dismayed by either the prerequisites or the level of detail in the second section may wish to skip to Section III, which reviews the state of the art and current research projects and provides suggestions for further reading.

Glossary

The following glossary provides, for reference, brief definitions for several terms as used in this paper in the context of protecting information in computers.

Access

The ability to make use of information stored in a computer system. Used frequently as a verb, to the horror of grammarians.

Access control list

A list of principals that are authorized to have access to some object.

Authenticate

To verify the identity of a person (or other agent external to the protection system) making a request.

Authorize

To grant a principal access to certain information.

Capability

In a computer system, an unforgeable ticket, which when presented can be taken as incontestable proof that the presenter is authorized to have access to the object named in the ticket.

Certify

To check the accuracy, correctness, and completeness of a security or protection mechanism.

Complete isolation

A protection system that separates principals into compartments between which no flow of information or control is possible.

Confinement

Allowing a borrowed program to have access to data, while ensuring that the program cannot release the information.

Descriptor

A protected value which is (or leads to) the physical address of some protected object.

Discretionary

(In contrast with nondiscretionary.) Controls on access to an object that may be changed by the creator of the object.

Domain

The set of objects that currently may be directly accessed by a principal.

Encipherment

The (usually) reversible scrambling of data according to a secret transformation key, so as to make it safe for transmission or storage in a physically unprotected environment.

Grant

To authorize (q. v.).

Hierarchical control

Referring to ability to change authorization, a scheme in which the record of each authorization is controlled by another authorization, resulting in a hierarchical tree of authorizations.

List-oriented

Used to describe a protection system in which each protected object has a list of authorized principals.

Password

A secret character string used to authenticate the claimed identity of an individual.

Permission

A particular form of allowed access, e.g., permission to READ as contrasted with permission to WRITE.

Prescript

A rule that must be followed before access to an object is permitted, thereby introducing an opportunity for human judgment about the need for access, so that abuse of the access is discouraged.

Principal

The entity in a computer system to which authorizations are granted; thus the unit of accountability in a computer system.

Privacy

The ability of an individual (or organization) to decide whether, when, and to whom personal (or organizational) information is released.

Propagation

When a principal, having been authorized access to some object, in turn authorizes access to another principal.

Protected object

A data structure whose existence is known, but whose internal organization is not accessible, except by invoking the protected subsystem (q.v.) that manages it.

Protected subsystem

A collection of procedures and data objects that is encapsulated in a domain of its own so that the internal structure of a data object is accessible only to the procedures of the protected subsystem and the procedures may be called only at designated domain entry points.

Protection

1) Security (q.v.).
2) Used more narrowly to denote mechanisms and techniques that control the access of executing programs to stored information.

Protection group

A principal that may be used by several different individuals.

Revoke

To take away previously authorized access from some principal.

Security

With respect to information processing systems, used to denote mechanisms and techniques that control who may use or modify the computer or the information stored in it.

Self control

Referring to ability to change authorization, a scheme in which each authorization contains within it the specification of which principals may change it.

Ticket-oriented

Used to describe a protection system in which each principal maintains a list of unforgeable bit patterns, called tickets, one for each object the principal is authorized to have access.

User

Used imprecisely to refer to the individual who is accountable for some identifiable set of activities in a computer system.

The new products are aimed mainly at the enterprise, but some also will be attractive to small and midsize businesses, said Duncan Campbell, vice president of marketing for HP StorageWorks.

The HP ProLiant Data Protection Server bundles Microsoft's Windows Data Protection Manager software with a ProLiant server as a single product, Campbell said.

Windows DPM, introduced earlier this year, does data snapshots as often as once per hour in order to provide an almost up-to-date copy of data in case some of the information is lost or corrupted. It competes with other vendors current or upcoming continuous data protection software, which can take snapshots as often as several per second in order to ensure data is up-to-date.

Also new from HP is a new Virtual Tape Library System, model 6840, a follow-on to model 6105 that was introduced in May. The 6840 has capacity of up to 10 Tbytes and a throughput of up to 575 Mbytes per second, compared to 40 Tbytes and 400 Mbytes per second with the 6105, Duncan said.

HP also introduced a new managed archiving service called HP Electronic Vaulting Services for a secure, scalable, automated remote backup, said Thomas Goepel, business strategy and portfolio manager for HP's business services.

E-Vaulting allows customers to compress and move data in encrypted format to one of 70 HP Recovery Centers around the world, Goepel said. To use the service, customers need a recovery appliance based on an HP server using software from Toronto-based Asigra installed in their data center. A key feature of the appliance is that no agents or client software are installed on the production servers, Goepel said.

The company also unveiled the HP StorageWorks File Migration agent, which uses policies similar to those set up for information lifecycle management schemes for migrating inactive data to lower-cost storage devices, including NAS appliances or HP's Reference Information Storage System (RISS) appliance. HP also introduced the HP StorageWorks Reference Information Manager for Database Archiving.

The Reference Information Manager is based on archiving software from Cupertino, Calif.-based OuterBay. Michael Howard, CEO of OuterBay, said the software identifies inactive information in a company's databases and relocates it to less expensive storage. The move is transparent to users, and enables compliance. It is also resold by EMC under the Database Xtender brand.

Campbell said that the Reference Information Manager software will initially be available for Oracle and SAP databases, and will be available for Microsoft and PeopleSoft applications in the future.

The ProLiant Data Protection Server and the 6840 Virtual Tape Library System are expected to be available Sept. 26. Prices have yet to be determined. The E-Vaulting service. StorageWorks File Migration agent, and Reference Information Manager are expected to be available in the fourth quarter.

Save the Children’s research suggests that income shortages in poorer households, when combined with shocks such as natural disasters or conflict, reinforce poor health and nutrition and thereby lead to higher rates of child deaths.

Hunger also keeps children out of school and limits their ability to concentrate once in school. Studies conducted by Save the Children indicate that learning achievement among children from poor families is systemically lower than their peers.

An increasing number of young people live in a state of poverty, unemployment and/or underemployment. Over one-fourth of young people in the world cannot find a job paying more than $1.25 per day, the international threshold of extreme poverty. Three quarters of young workers ages 15-29 are employed in the informal sector, increasing the possibility of exploitative or hazardous working conditions.

Save the Children’s Household Economy Approach (HEA) outcome analyses have found that the cycle of vulnerability due to chronic hunger and a lack of livelihoods security may lead poorer households and children to pursue unsustainable and dangerous livelihoods opportunities, to withdraw children from school, or to encourage early child marriage or harmful child labor.

Food security, livelihoods protection and strengthening, and poverty alleviation programs are an essential underpinning to ensuring the survival, education and protection of children, such that the intergenerational cycle of poverty can be broken.

To address this, Save the Children:

• Provides food assistance to families following a natural disaster or emergency.
• Builds household and community resilience to food security and economic shocks and stresses.
• Strengthens socio-economic conditions to Improve standards of living and the ability of families to provide for their children.
• Provides youth with the skills and linkages they need to earn and manage a decent income.

Of the 5.9 million children who die each year, poor nutrition plays a role in at least half these deaths. That’s wrong. Hunger isn’t about too many people and too little food. It’s about power, and its roots lie in inequalities in access to resources and opportunities.
