It’s becoming increasingly common for ransomware authors to directly attack high-value targets like schools. Following a success­ful attack, an attacker may demand millions of dollars in ransom money. Even if paying the ransom was an option, doing that doesn’t guarantee that data can be recovered. The best way that an organi­zation can protect itself against ransomware attacks is to implement a backup system that guarantees the recoverability of data. Read now

Increasingly, state and local governments find themselves targeted by malicious cyberattackers who sneak into their information technology systems, encrypt critical data and other files, and then demand millions in ransom payments to restore access. When governments find themselves being ransomed, their choices are typically to pay, which will undercut their ability to deliver key services to their communities due to budget restrictions, or not pay, resulting in the immediate inability to serve their communities and the loss of key data that will inevitably plague them for years afterwards.

10 Azure backup best practices from two Microsoft MVPs!

As the public cloud started to gain mainstream acceptance, people quickly realized that they had to adopt two different ways of doing things. One set of best practices – and tools – applied to resources that were running on-premises, and an entirely different set applied to cloud resources. Now the industry is starting to get back to the point where a common set of best practices can be applied regardless of where an organization's IT resources physically reside.

As production servers are being consolidated with virtual environments at a rapid rate, data protection via backups is as important as ever. Because of this, virtual infrastructures are becoming the standard.

In this white paper learn more on how Veeam’s latest plug-in for FUJITSU ETERNUS AF and DX series storage and Veeam Backup & Replication will:

• Provide options to perform virtual machine backups which were only possible with Virtual Volumes (VV0L)
• Improve performance of business critical applications
• Leverage Fujitsu’s storage snapshots between the backup for better Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)

Like server and network virtualization, software-defined storage is fundamentally changing how enterprises are designing data center architectures by incorporating commodity servers that are more agile and less costly than traditional purpose-built hardware. Integrated with VMware vSphere, vSAN enables management of compute and storage across a broad ecosystem of server OEMs and public clouds. But the tolerance for downtime, IT failures or lack of business continuity doesn’t change with the adoption of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). 

Veeam® Availability Suite™ provides unique backup and recovery options for VMware vSAN, allowing customers to deploy an integrated, highly efficient and cost-effective availability solution. Leveraging Veeam solutions with vSAN hyper-converged infrastructure empowers customers to provision and manage storage while leveraging the administration and storage policies of vSphere, no matter where their data resides.
