Modern data protection challenges demand an assessment of recovery strategies and the maintenance of compliance with those strategies. This could be for regulatory reasons or simply to offer assurance that the business can bounce back quickly in the event of an outage.  If we want to meet recovery objectives in the face of modern challenges such as ransomware, then recovery at scale and in parallel becomes a critical component. Recovering individual VM’s, files or application items is all well and good for ‘everyday’ disasters (like recovering that critical email) but when infrastructure becomes unavailable the impact can be felt broadly.    Read more

Applications are critical to businesses and ensuring their continuity is a top priority. Different applications and workloads carry different levels of criticality and need to be protected differently depending on your specific business needs. With workloads covering more platforms that extend past on-premises data into service provider clouds, the public cloud and SaaS based platforms, it’s important to understand how to protect key workloads no matter where they reside.

Providing data resilience is one of the key competencies required by any IT department. As professionals who have to keep everything up and running, part of that responsibility includes being able to respond and ultimately recover from disaster quickly, securely and reliably. Just five years ago, whenever we talked about outages we would often think about the hypothetical “data center on fire” scenario. However, a lot has changed in the past five years. Read more

Backup is a critical aspect of any data management strategy and is still the primary key to achieving data resilience. Data loss due to hardware failure, cyber-attacks and human error can occur at any time with no warning. Without a reliable backup system, your organization may suffer long-lasting consequences. To minimize your risk of data loss and to ensure reliable data recovery, many organizations are moving away from traditional backup solutions and are embracing object storage as a primary backup target. Object storage is a new type of data storage architecture that is designed to store and retrieve large amounts of unstructured data while being inherently scalable and immutable. Read more
