SAV: Apple and Asus in tte of the most reliable computers

Technology – According to a tude carries out by a technical socit spcialise in lassistance, Apple and Asus gnreraient less returns of matriels.

Apple and left in tte D `a classification
the most reliable computers. It has T tabli by Rescuecom, socit spcialise
in the customer support which has compuls 11.560 calls reus during the deuxime

It thus comes out from it qu `Apple and Asus is the two marks having
suscit less requtes. A performance that Rescuecom allots
qualit of the components and the software intgrs in these machines.

Dell the trane

Lenovo,
Toshiba and are respectively classified numro 3, numro 4 and numro 5.

Rescuecom known as to have
reu more D `calls for (22,1% of the calls) and HP which are both
leaders of the march amricain. A rsultat qu `one needs however pondrer because it
do not mean that the two marks produce bad machines.

Theirs
more important volumes of sale as well, it is rather logical as the frquence
technical breakdowns and concern is raised more.

For proof, this survey is

LexisNexis dduplic its give to hold its fentre of safeguard

tude of case – Confronts an increase in volumes in give and the saturation of its robots of safeguard on tape, LexisNexis has dploy appliances of dduplication. First profit: the drastic rduction of the disk space utilis.

Division of the group anglo-nerlandais Reed Elsevier (31 500 salaris in the world), LexisNexis S `is spcialis in information and the legal dition (JurisClasseur and Litec in France), but also conomic information, the formations and the confrences. In the Hexagon, LexisNexis employs 600 people rparties out of three sites (Paris, Orlans and Toulouse).

Confronts as D `other companies a volumtric inflation of its give, LexisNexis sees its fentre of safeguard called into question. Jusqu `prsent, throughout the week, the safeguard of give TAIT made of manire incrmentale. Then Monday, a TAIT ralise (the bands are finally externalises auprs D `a third as the law Sarbanes-Oxley imposes it which is subjected undertaken it).

Of the dduplication before rplication to limit the consumption of band-width

« This tche TAIT carries out grce two bookshops Overland LTO-2, each one quipe of two readers. However because of the increase in volume give to record on the tapes, the files D `waiting taient frquemment encumber. By consquent, we N `tions more able to respect the fentre of safeguard, which thus could dborder over Tuesday » , explains David Boughanim, person in charge systmes and rseaux for LexisNexis.

For rpondre this problmatique, the group chooses a solution then combining safeguard on discs and, via two appliances of. The algorithms of dduplication are appliqus on a premire bay, with an average compression ratio of 50%.

the second bay (with dduplication activates), connects via a rseau gigabit, east exploits to carry out asynchronous rplication on a site of help of give dduplic. Give so much dj compresses, the requirements in band-width for the rplication remain modrs.

204 Go of give transport ramens 5 Go

« The rates of dduplication are trs variable and corrls with the types of give. For our Oracle bases, the profit D `space is intressant. With regard to give galement. We are thus passs of 204 Go only 5 Go. On the other hand, as regards for example the images waiters, the dduplication prsente less D `intrt. But as a whole, the profit east empty. The 5,7 To of give have T ramens 58 Go, in incrmental » apprcie David Boughanim.

For a rglementaire question, the safeguard about tapes and their externalisation continue. However, allows it dsormais to respect again dlais them of safeguard. More prone bookshops N `so much saturation, LexisNexis has dcid not to preserve qu `only one of its two robotics LTP. The interruption of maintenance on the deuxime robot thus allowed gnrer of the conomies in terms of cot D `exploitation.

This architecture bases D `appliances S `avre easy D `use, which conceals one of our critres of choice. In terms of restoration, the tests which we have lie have gift of the correct rsultats. With …
