When to Use Encryption, Replication, or Immutability
Given the importance of an organization’s data, IT must understand when to use encryption, replication, or immutability as part of an overall data resiliency plan. If it is lost because of a disaster, stolen by a rogue employee, or locked up by ransomware, the financial and reputational costs to the business are exorbitant. Knowing how…
5 Reasons for Ransomware Recovery Failure
Ransomware attacks have evolved into one of the leading threats to a business that more often than not, comes with significant financial ramifications. In fact, the average cost of an attack can reach into the millions of dollars, and according to Cybersecurity Ventures, the global annual cost of cybercrime is predicted to reach $8 trillion…
Solving the Pain of NAS Migration
Moving from old network-attached storage (NAS) systems to a new one is an all too frequent project for IT, so solving the pain of NAS migration is a top objective for data center professionals. The NAS migration problem stems from the fact that today, NAS systems are often the primary storage solution for most data…
Overcoming MSP Storage Challenges
To increase their monthly recurring revenue (MRR), Managed Service Providers (MSPs), must focus on overcoming MSP storage challenges. These organizations typically start with a particular area of specialization, such as backup, or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and then try to increase their MRR by offering additional services to those customers while also continuing to onboard…
How to Reduce Storage Complexity
Organizations trying to reduce their storage total cost ownership (TCO) need to figure out how to reduce storage complexity. If organizations only had one workload and that workload didn’t need data protection, then storage management would be very simple. IT would only need to buy and manage one storage system. Organizations, of course, have many…
How Much Flash is Enough Flash?
While vendors are trying to convince them that they need all-flash, IT professionals are trying to understand how much flash is enough flash. Despite all-flash vendor claims, solid-state drives (SSDs) are not less expensive than hard disk drives (HDDs). In actuality, SSDs are about ten times more expensive than HDDs, so keeping all data on…
What is Auto-Tiering?
Auto-tiering is a feature that some storage solutions have which enables moving data automatically from one type of storage to another. It is typically associated with hybrid storage, which moves data from flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) to hard disk drives (HDD). Auto-tiering technology is not limited to moving data between flash and hard disk drives,…
Why StorONE Eliminated Capacity-Based Pricing
Today we’re announcing an entirely new pricing model, and I am excited to share how this revolutionary pricing model came to be. Thanks to incredible technological advancements in storage hardware, it’s no longer a challenge to find a storage solution with the level of performance and capacity you need. The real challenge is enabling organizations…
HDD over NVMe-oF
HDD over NVMe-oF enables organizations move to NVMe (nonvolatile memory express) over fabric (NVMe-oF) architectures, without struggling with how to leverage hard disk drives (HDD) as part of the transition. Vendors present the NVMe-oF infrastructure as an architecture exclusively for All-Flash Arrays, but organizations know that hard disk drives are 10X less expensive than flash…
Backing up to 18TB Hard Disk Drives
IT professionals looking to reduce backup infrastructure costs are looking into backing up to 18TB hard disk drives. Since introducing 20TB hard disk drives, 18TB drives now own the price per TB advantage versus other hard drive densities, making them a compelling choice to use in backup storage targets. IT has to make sure, however,…
