The Next Great Disruptor to the Data Protection Status Quo

Is backup really like car insurance?

Imagine being responsible for paying only a very small “insurance premium” for backup/recovery protection. In other words, imagine a process similar to the old methods but significantly cheaper, i.e., paying a marginal amount of money to cover the data being backed up. If you later experience an event that results in the need for recovery, then you pay an additional deductible matched to the level of calamity you experienced.

Why should we pay so much for all the capacity that we back up, when what we really want to focus on is how much we will need to recover?

Linux and AIX Bare-Metal Recovery Webinar

When severe weather, a natural disaster, or any other catastrophe occurs, your first thoughts will not be about recovering and restoring your company’s critical data, which is why you want to be prepared for the unexpected. When it comes to preparing your business for catastrophe, your professional emergency kit should include a solid bare-metal restore and disaster recovery (DR) plan. Unlike AIX, Linux distributions do not come with a bare-metal recovery utility. In this webinar David Huffman, president/CEO of Storix, shares his knowledge on disaster recovery, and how to improve your existing strategies for better disaster preparedness.

What you need to know about cloud backup

The impact of a data loss event can be significant. Real-time data is essential to remaining competitive. Many companies can no longer afford to rely on a truck arriving each day to take backup tapes offsite. For most companies, a cloud backup and recovery solution will eliminate, or significantly reduce, IT resources related to the mundane task of backup and allow your resources to be redeployed to more strategic projects. The cloud – can now be comfortable for you - with 100% recovery from anywhere all the time.

The end user security jigsaw

Risk management is not about absolutes or certainty; it’s about playing the odds. This principle is particularly relevant when it comes to securing end user computing activity.

We have no shortage of solutions available to us in this area. Indeed looking at what’s available on the market, it’s clear that many options exist for tackling the same or similar requirements. The problem, however, is that none of them are 100% effective at what they are supposed to do. But even if they were, the complexity of the environment along with the dynamic nature of the problem means no single technology or service is ever going to be enough. Minimising your exposure is about mixing the right cocktail of solutions and approaches to achieve an ‘acceptable’ level of protection for your organisation and the situations that arise within it.

In an attempt to understand what this translates to in practice, we conducted an online research study during June and July 2013 in which data was gathered from 977 IT and business professionals. In terms of scope, the questionnaire used was one of the broadest we have ever developed at Freeform Dynamics, and our thanks go out to all of those who had the patience to work through it. The exercise was well worth it, however, as we ended up with a good holistic view of the things that really matter.

Before getting into solutions and approaches, however, it’s important to understand the problem. So let’s start out by looking at the nature of the end user security challenge.
