With total enterprise data volumes projected to exceed 2.02 petabytes by 2022, smart safeguards must be implemented to keep it protected. Those strategies themselves are changing in lockstep industry trends. Now that hybrid and full-cloud deployments are dominant, multiple external variables can impact how data is stored and preserved. Additionally, over one quarter of Cloud Vision 2020’s survey respondents could shift 95% of critical workloads cloudward by 2025. Read more

In part one we looked at the characteristics that make up the cloud object storage offerings of the main three cloud providers (Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services/AWS, Google Cloud Platform/GCP). Now that we understand what to look for from our cloud providers and the features they have available, we’ll look at what information we need to gather to build our own cost and performance estimates to implement object storage ourselves.

So far in 2021 we have seen a surge of ransomware attacks that have targeted even large enterprises like Colonial Pipeline which supply 45% of the East Coast's supply of diesel, petrol and jet fuel and ended up paying 5 million for getting back access to their data. The latest statistics show that there is a ransomware attack every 11 seconds, where the attackers utilize different attack vectors to try to get access. So how can we protect ourselves or at least reduce the risk from these types of attacks? Read more
