A new archiving product from BridgeHead Software helps ease the backup and storage cost problems created by rapidly increasing Microsoft SharePoint data. The BH ShareStore archiving software automatically moves inactive SharePoint data from expensive primary storage systems to a range of secondary media where it is managed and kept accessible to end users. By cutting data volumes held on Tier 1 storage, BH ShareStore helps cut storage hardware spend while permitting faster backups. It also means restores can be completed more quickly in the event of disaster. Read press release (PDF).
Helping event planners get to grips with risk assessment is the aim of two half-day seminars being run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. The Risk Assessment for Event Organisers seminars, which take place on Thursday, August 14, will give an insight into why risk assessment is needed and how it can be practically carried out – without the process being over burdensome. Both seminars follow the same programme, the first running from 9.30am-12.30pm and the second from 1-4pm. Lunch is provided at both sessions, which are being held at RoSPA Headquarters in Birmingham. www.rospa.com/events/riskassessment/
