When the first version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 was released in 2016, no one realized how fast Microsoft 365 would grow and how our daily communication and work life would change. New features and software were added to the Microsoft 365 package. Read more

Managing Kubernetes can be challenging, especially when deploying and managing stateful applications that require persistent storage. Enter Helm, a powerful open-source tool that simplifies package management and application deployment for Kubernetes applications. Read more

They say hindsight is 20/20, and often, when looking back at a cyber disaster, it is easy to see how a worst-case scenario could have been avoided with a few simple steps. Namely, using data protection best practices. Data loss isn’t exclusive to any one industry or corporation, it can affect anyone at any time. While celebrating World Backup Day, we wanted to bring your attention to three scary stories from the past and give you some tips to avoid similar situations . Read more

Among the catalogue of cyber resiliency frameworks circulating in the industry, you’ll nearly always find a word on the far right: Recover. The reality is, you can gather up and implement every best practice in the book -- from identity and access management to threat detection -- and still end up facing a successful ransomware attack. Recovery may be your last line of defense. Read more

In today's digital age, Kubernetes has become an indispensable tool for managing and deploying complex software applications at scale. However, with its many moving parts, it's essential that you have a solid backup strategy in place to protect your critical data and configurations in case of unexpected failures, human errors or cyber attacks. Without a reliable backup system and the ability to hit your desired recovery objectives, you risk losing valuable data and facing costly downtime, which can result in lost revenue, decreased productivity and brand damage.

Did you know service providers who deliver Kubernetes management and data protection services will find a fast-growing, addressable market for years to come? The unrelenting application modernization — and the resulting shift toward micro-services — has made containerized architecture the inevitable infrastructure of choice. A growing number of organizations are now leveraging Kubernetes-as-a-Service (KaaS) providers to manage their micro-service architecture, easing the burden on their DevOps and engineering teams, especially given the widespread and deepening shortage of qualified staff.

Bare-metal recovery (BMR) is the process of restoring a fully functioning Windows machine from scratch (including the operating system, applications, settings, and files) to either the same or entirely different hardware. It’s called “bare metal” because the recovery takes place on a system that has no software installed at all — just hardware waiting for a complete rebuild. Read more

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

As cloud-first mandates push more application development, database hosting, compute workloads and more to clouds like Amazon Web Services (AWS), it’s equally important that backup, security and cloud professionals alike ensure that their data is reliably recoverable in the face of any downtime or data loss scenario.
