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…
A Cure for Ransomware Overload
The recent Log4j vulnerability is triggering a whole new round of “Get Ready for Ransomware” webinars and blogs, to the point that IT needs a cure for ransomware overload. While being ready for ransomware is critical, focusing on it exclusively is as dangerous as ignoring it. IT professionals will need to recover from ransomware at…
How to Recover From Log4Shell Exploits
While many articles explain how to fix the Log4j zero-day flaw, very few guide you through the process of recovering from a Log4Shell exploit if it is successful. If a bad actor can exploit this vulnerability, they can extract sensitive data, upload files to the server (like malware), jump to other servers, and delete data…
The Viability of All-Flash Backup
To address backup storage shortcomings, vendors are trying to convince IT of the viability of All-Flash Backup. All-flash does help organizations improve their recovery point objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) but is the cost of the improvement worth it?

Eliminate The Ransomware Threat With Modern Backup Storage
IT can complete its recovery strategy and eliminate the ransomware threat with modern backup storage. While most modern backup-server software provides the capabilities to make ransomware a minor annoyance instead of a significant disruption, legacy backup storage won’t enable it to deliver its full potential. Backup storage needs modernization to keep pace with the innovations…
Understanding Instant Recovery Performance
While many vendors offer an instant recovery type of feature, understanding instant recovery performance is critical to elevating backup into business continuity. The truth is that none of the backup-server software vendors that offer a recovery-in-place feature, provide truly instant recovery. The recovery is fast but it is seldom instant and the backup-storage software makes…
Elevate Backup into Business Continuity
Backup software capabilities like block-level incremental backup and instant recovery mean you can elevate backup into business continuity. For the backup process to replace standalone HA solutions and provide business continuance, it needs more than backup software innovation. We’ve also seen innovation in backup hardware, like lower cost, high-density drives. The missing link is that…
