A seasoned cyber security professional, Keepit’s new CISO brings experience from a wide range of organizations, including NATO, EU, Verizon, Systematic, as well as a number of industry security boards

Copenhagen, Denmark – April 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Keepit, a global leader in SaaS data backup and recovery, today announced Kim Larsen as new Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). With more than 20 years of leadership experience in IT and cybersecurity from government and the private sector, the new CISO’s areas of expertise include: business driven security; aligning corporate, digital and security strategies; risk management and threat mitigation; developing and implementing security strategies; leading through communication; and coaching.

Kim Larsen is an experienced keynote speaker, negotiator, and board advisor on cyber and general security topics, with experience from a wide range of organizations, including NATO, EU, Verizon, Systematic, and a number of industry security boards.

“It’s a real pleasure to welcome Kim Larsen to the team — his deep government and broad private sector experience is exceptional, and perfectly positions him to bring Keepit’s security advisory capabilities and development of future services to the next level. Our current growth trajectory and go-to-market strategy has us engaging in conversations where his expertise is highly valuable,” says Morten Felsvang, Keepit CEO.

Kim Larsen started his career in the Danish National Police and subsequently spent nine years with Security and Intelligence Service (PET) where he served as delegate for the Danish government in both NATO’s and the EU’s security committees.

Moving into the private sector to act as strategic advisor on government, public and financial sector matters, and developing security organizations and partnerships in companies such as Verizon, Huawei and Systematic, he has served on the information security board of the Danish Industry confederation (DI) and Danish Council for Digital Security for 10 years.

Backup and recovery critical components to cybersecurity
With this background, Kim Larsen has a holistic take on cybersecurity and a profound understanding of what is required and desired in organizations bolstering their IT infrastructures against cyber threats:

“I am very happy to join Keepit: Backup and recovery are critical components of a solid cybersecurity posture, and the unique Keepit solution is the answer to so many compliance and security challenges. It’s a great opportunity to work with organizations on how to retain access to their data in the face of any malign or arbitrary threats to their infrastructure,” says Kim Larsen.

The CISO points to compliance, cyber resilience, and disaster recovery best practices as three of his favorite subjects and reasons for choosing Keepit as his new stomping ground:

“If there’s one thing we can be sure of, it’s this: We don’t know the threats we will be facing in the future. But we can make educated guesses. And based on those, we can make sure to cross the t’s and dot the i’s that we do know about. That’s why the Keepit solution is a future-proof solution: With its vendor-independent tech stack that keeps data physically and logically separate from the production environment, it’s a guarantee that customer data is always available. And with local data centers keeping data in the same regulatory regions as the organization, full compliance is assured. It really is quite unique,” states Kim Larsen.

About Kim Larsen
Kim Larsen is Chief Information Security Officer at Keepit and has more than 20 years of leadership experience in IT and cybersecurity from government and the private sector.

Areas of expertise include business driven security, aligning corporate, digital and security strategies, risk management and threat mitigation adequate to business needs, developing and implementing security strategies, leading through communication, and coaching.

Organizations Can Consolidate Data Silos in the Cloud and Leverage Microsoft AI Assistants with the Nasuni File Data Platform

BOSTON, MA – April 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Nasuni, a leading hybrid cloud storage solution, today released new guides to help customers accelerate integrating Microsoft’s cutting-edge Copilot AI for use with their Nasuni managed data repositories and operational workflows.

Microsoft Copilot is a powerful artificial intelligence assistant integrated across Microsoft’s application portfolio that can understand natural language, analyze data, and provide intelligent responses. Nasuni is educating customers to enable them to create customized Copilot experiences that use a customer’s unstructured data set to unlock further business insights and revenue streams.

Charles Douglass, IT Director at McKim and Creed said, “Nasuni educated us about how we could create custom AI Copilots using our Nasuni data. We have now created an initial Copilot and look forward to continuing to understand how we can refine it to provide natural language interaction to the documents within our business.”

“While Microsoft Copilot is an incredible general-purpose AI assistant, its true enterprise value is realized when it is infused with an organization’s domain-specific data,” said Jim Liddle, Chief Innovation Officer of Nasuni. “File data is typically locked up in siloed environments, making AI impossible. With Nasuni, customers can consolidate their data in the cloud and then leverage AI. We created our own Copilot chatbot that leverages our Nasuni data, called ‘Ask Nasuni’, that is deployed within the Microsoft Teams environment for our employees to interact with. It only makes sense that our customers would want to do something similar to leverage their own corporate information.”

The Nasuni File Data Platform enables companies to consolidate data silos spread across multiple locations to a central cloud. Then, with Nasuni’s guidance, customers can:

• Use Copilot AI with Nasuni managed unstructured data sets.
• Build a custom Copilot by teaching it to use Nasuni data for key workflows such as sales and/or support chatbots.
• Increase employee productivity by leveraging ‘locked-in’ institutional knowledge.
• Deploy secure, private Copilot instances tailored to a company’s needs.

Marco Accardo, Director of Information Technology at RWDI, said: “Using Copilot AI for institutional knowledge is something that we are working towards in RWDI. Nasuni has been helping us as we explore this use case and look to leverage the knowledge within our Nasuni managed data.”

For more information on how enterprises can leverage Nasuni and Microsoft Copilot AI, click here — https://info.nasuni.com/ai-data-intelligence

You can also register for an upcoming webinar on 4/23 with Melody Yin, Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, to discover how AI works within Microsoft’s ecosystem, the basics of Copilot Studio, boosting productivity with external datasets like Nasuni, and more.

About Nasuni
Nasuni is a leading hybrid cloud storage solution that powers business growth with effortless scalability, built-in security, and fast edge performance using a unique cloud-native architecture. The Nasuni File Data Platform delivers operational excellence by consolidating NAS and backup, eliminating data silos, and making management easy and flexible without changes to apps or workflows.

BOSTON and SINGAPORE – April 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Wasabi Technologies, the hot cloud storage company, today announced a strategic partnership with VSTECS Singapore, a leading information and communications technology solutions distributor, to expand access to Wasabi’s predictable, high-performance cloud storage solutions locally.

“As Asia’s appetite for emerging technologies like generative artificial intelligence grows, this will inevitably drive data storage needs and thus, demand for low cost, high-performance object storage services,” said Michael King, Vice President and General Manager, Asia-Pacific and Japan, Wasabi Technologies. “We are excited to take this next step forward in partnering with VSTECS, one of Asia’s top IT distributors, to deliver storage solutions that promise speed, price-accessibility, and performance, to support digital transformation ambitions in Singapore and beyond.”

Following the launch of Wasabi’s first data centre in Singapore in 2022, this announcement marks a transformative moment for Wasabi to bring its hot cloud storage to organizations throughout the country. Building on Wasabi’s expanding footprint in the region with four APAC data centres, the partnership will pave the way for an expanded presence in the region with VSTECS’s expansive reach of 50,000 channel partners across Asia, including emerging Southeast Asian data centre hubs like Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

“Singapore’s dynamic business landscape requires storage solutions that are not just innovative but also finely attuned to the diverse demands of the market that comprises both large enterprises and smaller organisations with niche needs,” said Sebastian Chong, President, VSTECS Singapore. “Our collaboration with Wasabi, complemented by their local data centre, positions us to meet these demands head-on, providing customers with faster, reliable, and locally optimised hot storage solutions that can also cater to neighbouring Southeast Asian markets that are similarly witnessing a spike in storage needs.”

The partnership will simultaneously boost VSTECS Singapore’s ability to meet the diverse needs of the local market through Wasabi’s disruptive price-performance model that provides public cloud storage solutions at prices up to 80 percent less expensive than industry competitors. Wasabi’s cost-effective cloud storage never charges for egress fees or API requests, so customers receive predictable bills. With recent survey estimates pointing toward one in two APAC businesses overspending for cloud services, enhanced access to faster, more price-performant solutions will prove critical for Singapore as the region’s foremost digital hub with an increasing proportion of small and medium enterprises pursuing digital transformation.

About Wasabi Technologies
Recognized as one of the technology industry’s fasting growing companies, Wasabi is on a mission to store the world’s data by making cloud storage affordable, predictable and secure. With Wasabi, visionary companies gain the freedom to use their data whenever they like without being hit with unpredictable fees or vendor lock-in.

Customers and partners all over the world trust Wasabi to help them put their data to work so they can unlock their full potential. Visit wasabi.com to learn more.

With Cohesity’s DataProtect and Data Cloud Solutions, Data Managed by the French Red Cross is Encrypted, Stored, and Protected; Backup Operations Have a 100% Success Rate and the System is Autonomous 95% of the Time

PARIS – April 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info /– Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security and management, has been supporting the French Red Cross (Croix-Rouge française) in migrating, backing up, and protecting its data for almost two years, resulting in increased performance for the entire system and applications, respective backup windows, and better workload management for the IT team.

In 2019, under the guidance of Yves Couturier, head of information system production, and with the help of Cohesity, the French Red Cross undertook a process of modernizing its systems and storage to improve its data management. With more than 66,000 volunteers and 16,000 employees performing 30 different jobs dedicated to helping people, the organization manages more than 120 TB of data, including the personal data of beneficiaries (shared medical records, home care data, nursing services, and meal delivery), as well as its operational management data (emergency doctors and ambulance drivers), and administrative data (payroll, ERP, and business intelligence) of the various services it operates.

For Yves Couturier, “We had two imperatives regarding the management of data backup: that it be as flexible, automated, and reliable as possible, and that costs be predictable in the context of increasing data volumes. Cohesity offered the only modern solution that could meet both of these imperatives.”

Today, Cohesity’s DataProtect and Data Cloud solutions make it possible to encrypt, store, and protect all flows and all data transmitted from the various applications used by healthcare staff, administrators, and emergency doctors. The backup operation, which protects the entire stack, from the bare metal server to files to applications, has a 100% success rate and the system is 95% self-sufficient.

Operating in a cloud environment and on-premise, Olivier Geremy, head of security architecture strategy (SAS) at the French Red Cross, said, “Our long-term goal is to manage our operations as much as possible in the cloud, and the flexibility of the architecture and the security of Cohesity data management solutions allow us to project ourselves all the more confidently as this collaboration continues.”

With drastically reduced backup times, the team can focus on other projects with added value, at the service of its various audiences such as state, departmental, and European partners, private investors, and all the individuals to whom the French Red Cross assists on a daily or occasional basis.

“Organizations face significant challenges in managing and securing their data assets in the cloud and on-premises, with ransomware and data theft being their top concern,” said Olivier Savornin, group vice president EMEA, Cohesity. “We are proud to be able to help protect the French Red Cross’ data and systems through our AI-driven data management and security platform.”

The details of this collaboration between Cohesity and the French Red Cross are available here: https://www.cohesity.com/customers/the-french-red-cross/

Acquisition enables Commvault to solve a critical cyber resilience challenge facing enterprises today – rapidly rebuilding cloud applications after an outage or attack

TINTON FALLS, NJ – April 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced the acquisition of Appranix, a cloud cyber resilience company. Commvault is making this acquisition to help enterprises get up and running even faster after an outage or cyberattack.

According to Statista, the average downtime after a ransomware attack is 24 days. Commvault is helping customers reduce downtime by recovering data rapidly via automation and next-generation cleanroom offerings. But fast data recovery is only part of the equation.

There are dependencies that are necessary to rebuild critical cloud applications, the data those applications rely on, and the cloud infrastructure that runs it all. Dependencies include networking, DNS configuration, application load balancing, security group access, and much more. Appranix automates all of this and can reduce the time it takes to rebuild from days or weeks to, in some cases, hours or minutes.

“We are taking resilience to the next level by marrying Commvault’s extensive risk, readiness, and recovery capabilities with Appranix’s next-generation cloud-native rebuild capabilities,” said Sanjay Mirchandani, President & CEO, Commvault. “We are delighted to welcome Appranix to the Commvault family.”

“Joining the Commvault family is a thrilling and natural next step for Appranix as we jointly change the market,” said Govind Rangasamy, Appranix Founder and CEO. “We share a common vision to go beyond traditional backups and disaster recovery. Our combined technologies will offer comprehensive, unmatched resilience capabilities for businesses globally.”

“Complete cyber resilience is an aspirational goal for most enterprise customers. This acquisition makes cyber resilience-at-speed a reality by extending automated rebuild capabilities to distributed and dynamic cloud applications,” said Archana Venkatraman, Research Director, Cloud Ops and Cloud Data Management, IDC.

The Appranix team will join Commvault imminently and the integration of Appranix’s technology into Commvault’s portfolio is expected to be completed by this summer. In the meantime, customers can leverage Appranix for their cloud application discovery and rebuild requirements, via the AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure marketplaces.

CTERA launches honeypot decoy capabilities to address data extortion and insider threats

NEW YORK, NY – April 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — CTERA, the leader in edge-to-cloud file services, today announced the enhancement of its award-winning ransomware protection engine, CTERA Ransom Protect, with active protection against data exfiltration using honeypot techniques. This addition bolsters enterprises’ defenses against insider threats and the latest extortion tactics employed by ransomware perpetrators.

Double extortion, a tactic that combines data exfiltration and encryption, has become a widespread method used by cybercriminals in ransomware attacks. Threat actors first exfiltrate sensitive information from their targets before launching the ransomware encryption routine, subsequently demanding a ransom payment to regain access to the encrypted assets and threatening to publicly expose the stolen data if the demand is not met promptly.

CTERA Ransom Protect is an AI-powered cyber defense engine integrated into the CTERA global file system, providing zero-day protection against widespread ransomware attacks. The strong demand for Ransom Protect contributed to CTERA’s record-breaking results in 2023, solidifying the company’s position as a leader in Cyberstorage and earning it a leadership position in GigaOm’s Sonar Report for File-Based Primary Storage Ransomware Protection.

Now enhanced with honeypot capabilities, Ransom Protect utilizes the strategic deployment of decoy files within the organization’s file system and enables CTERA to identify and stop unauthorized access or attempts at data theft, effectively neutralizing threats before significant damage can occur.

“Data exfiltration poses a severe risk to organizations, as threat actors can leverage stolen sensitive information for extortion, causing immense financial and reputational damage,” said Oded Nagel, CEO of CTERA. “With our new honeypot functionality as part of CTERA Ransom Protect, we are providing our customers robust active defense against these pernicious attacks, ensuring the protection of their valuable data assets.”

Key features of CTERA Ransom Protect include:

• Data Exfiltration Prevention: Decoy files enable real-time detection and blocking of data exfiltration attacks.
• Real-time AI Detection: Advanced machine learning algorithms identify behavioral anomalies suggesting fraudulent file activity, and block offending users within seconds.
• Zero-Day Protection: Does not rely on traditional signature update services.
• Incident Management: Administrator dashboard enabling real-time attack monitoring, comprehensive incident evidence logging and post-attack forensics.
• Instant Recovery: Near-instant recovery of any affected files from snapshots that are securely stored in an air-gapped, immutable cloud object storage effectively thwarting any manipulation attempts by malicious actors.
• One-Click Deployment: Single-click feature activation on CTERA Edge Filers with latest version release.

“Given the escalating prevalence and severity of data exfiltration attacks, we believe advanced cybersecurity features provide significant value and tight integration into storage systems is a top priority,” said Whit Walters, analyst at GigaOm. “CTERA’s native integration of data exfiltration protection within their edge file services platform represents an important step in this direction. By baking advanced exfiltration defenses directly into their storage architecture, CTERA ensures organizations can proactively safeguard their vital data assets against this insidious threat vector.”

With the introduction of CTERA Ransom Protect with honeypot, CTERA reinforces its commitment to delivering cutting-edge Cyberstorage solutions that address the evolving threats faced by modern enterprises, safeguarding their critical data assets from malicious actors.

Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Data Technology Products and Companies

Marlborough, Mass., April 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — ExaGrid®, the industry’s only Tiered Backup Storage solution with Retention Time-Lock that includes a non-network-facing tier (creating a tiered air gap), delayed deletes and immutability for ransomware recovery, today announced that its Tiered Backup Storage has been selected as winner of the “Data Backup Solution of the Year” award in the 5^th annual Data Breakthrough Awards program conducted by Data Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global data technology market today.

ExaGrid’s breakthrough Tiered Backup Storage provides comprehensive security, ransomware recovery, multiple disaster recovery options, and more. The solution writes backups directly to a disk-cache Landing Zone, avoiding inline processing and ensuring the highest level of backup performance, resulting in a short backup window. Adaptive Deduplication performs deduplication and replication in parallel with backups for a strong recovery point (RPO). As data is being deduplicated to the Repository Tier, it can also be replicated to a second data center site or to the public cloud for disaster recovery (DR). ExaGrid offers the only two-tiered backup storage approach with comprehensive security.

ExaGrid’s scale-out architecture includes full appliances and ensures a fixed-length backup window as data grows. The appliances contain disk, processing power, memory, and bandwidth and additional appliances can be added. The system scales linearly, maintaining a fixed-length backup window and customers only pay for what they need. Data is deduplicated into the non-network-facing Repository Tier with automatic load balancing and global deduplication across all repositories.

Additionally, ExaGrid has recently added three new appliance models to its product line: the EX54, EX84, and EX189, which offer the largest single scale-out system storage capacity for any backup storage on the market, and announced that all ExaGrid appliances are available in 2U models, offering rack space efficiency.

“We’re grateful for this industry recognition in the 2024 Data Breakthrough Awards program. When we realized that no vendor was building storage that optimizes backup, we built our Tiered Backup Storage specifically to improve backup performance, restore performance, and scalability as data grows,” said Bill Andrews, President and CEO of ExaGrid. “The economics of backup are just as important as performance. We’re proud to be the largest independent backup storage vendor and we will continue to innovate our solution with the goal of eliminating all of the challenges that organizations face when it comes to backups.”

The annual Data Breakthrough Awards is the premier awards program founded to recognize the data technology innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the world in a range of categories, including DataOps, Data Analytics, AI, Business Intelligence, Data Privacy, Data Storage and many more. The 5th annual Data Breakthrough Award program attracted thousands of nominations from across the globe.

“ExaGrid Backup Storage delivers fast backup ingest and restore performance, comprehensive security features, a non-network-facing tier and a scale-out architecture along with industry-leading customer support. Organizations face an incredible amount of issues when it comes to backup, including deduplication which so often negatively impacts backup and restore performance,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, Data Breakthrough. “ExaGrid’s unique architecture, its constant innovation, and its dedication to offering the best backup storage solution, sets ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage apart; we’re thrilled to award them with our 2024 ‘Data Backup Solution of the Year!’ designation.”

About ExaGrid
ExaGrid provides Tiered Backup Storage with a unique disk-cache Landing Zone, long-term retention repository, and scale-out architecture. ExaGrid’s Landing Zone provides for the fastest backups, restores, and instant VM recoveries. The Repository Tier offers the lowest cost for long-term retention. ExaGrid’s scale-out architecture includes full appliances and ensures a fixed-length backup window as data grows, eliminating expensive forklift upgrades and product obsolescence. ExaGrid offers the only two-tiered backup storage approach with a non-network-facing tier, delayed deletes, and immutable objects to recover from ransomware attacks.

ExaGrid has physical sales and pre-sales systems engineers in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Benelux, Brazil, Canada, Chile, CIS, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nordics, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, and other regions.

Assured Data Protection Cloud Backup Expert Tips: How Outsourced Disaster Recovery Can Play a Role in Achieving Sustainability Commitments

Sustainability is an issue that all organisations are grappling with and regardless of ever-changing technology landscapes and economic cycles, it has become a constant that needs to be reckoned with. Whether through government regulation, the demands of customers or investor pressure, no organisation is exempt from its direct or indirect impact.

According to the United Nations Environment Program, the technology industry accounts for 2-3 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. It could be argued that it has had an easier ride than other industries to date in terms of accountability, when compared with more obvious carbon emitters such as the energy sector and aviation industries that have been the subject of intense focus. This situation is now changing.

Increasingly, the technology sector is being held to account for its carbon emissions. In response, technology and organisations have made substantial efforts to address the two key emission calcifications over which they have most control: scope one – emissions the organisation is directly responsible for, and scope two – indirect emissions, such as electricity. Many have cut their carbon emissions substantially, allowing them to successfully comply with sustainability directives, as they stand. However, there’s a looming issue that is set to make compliance a much greater challenge.

The challenge of scope three carbon emissions compliance
We’re now starting to see the impact of scope three carbon emissions be felt in the technology sector. That is, all other emissions associated with an organisation’s activities, including its supply chain. While scope three emissions aren’t yet legally enforceable in the US or the UK, they are being widely adopted by large organisations, as legislation is inevitable and there’s a widespread desire to get ahead of the issue. Increasingly the impact of scope three emissions is filtering down to SMEs and SMBs.

Although Disaster Recovery (DR) and backup are only a relatively small part of the overall technology landscape, they are nonetheless important, given that all aspects of IT operations are covered by scope three emissions compliance. Beyond the need to factor them into compliance, many organisations are beginning to realise that in fact DR and backup can actually help them realise their scope three commitments through outsourcing.

Outsourcing disaster recovery managed services
Organisations at the forefront of sustainability are increasingly recognising the value of outsourcing  the DR and backup function to an MSP, which is a very smart and cost effective way to help achieve compliance, because it eliminates the need for data backup via a second site. These sites are costly to operate, don’t always utilise the latest power efficient hardware, and are responsible for significant carbon emissions. Adopting an outsourced approach means scope three compliance is a lot more achievable and manageable.

Some might question whether outsourcing is simply offloading the problem, but that’s not the case. That’s because MSP DR solutions achieve economies of scale by servicing multiple organisations via a shared facility, making them carbon efficient for customers. This approach makes a lot of sense.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is now firmly on the C-level agenda and given the rate at which its scope three component is permeating, it’s very likely we’ll see more organisations adopt outsourced DR services in the near term. Both current and future business for MSPs depends on helping customers and partners achieve ESG compliance. This is an issue that affects everyone and it’s not going away.

Considerations when looking for an MSP
When looking for an MSP capable of delivering a robust DR and backup solution that satisfies ESG and scope three requirements, organisations should place equal value on the technology credentials of the provider. It’s essential to work with a partner who can offer a backup platform that was built from the ground-up with true immutability in mind. Assured Data Protection are experts in the provision of services to a wide variety of organisations across the private and public sectors. Working closely with data security specialists Rubrik, Assured guarantee the rapid restore of data and operations, ensuring the highest levels of DR capability, with the ability to defeat ransomware and other cyber-attacks, which remain an ever-present threat and offer this service in a sustainable way that can help organisations ensure their scope three compliance.

StarWind introduces an affordable backup cloud storage solution for IBM i systems

BEVERLY, MA – April 11, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — StarWind, a leading provider of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) for Enterprise ROBO, SMB, & Edge, introduces an affordable backup cloud storage for IBM i systems. Seamless integration with an existing tape backup infrastructure is achieved by emulating a tape library (VTL), the one IBM i knows how to deal with. StarWind VTL is a complementary, rather than competitive, solution, where the virtual tape provides an additional local backup copy for better resiliency and faster recovery, with an extra copy offloaded to a cost-effective public cloud. This air-gapped “extra” copy of the backup data, stored in an immutable cloud, serves one more purpose – insurance against ransomware. Amazon AWS, Google GCP, and Microsoft Azure are fully supported as backup destinations, including long term storage like AWS Glacier, Google & Azure Archive. In general, any S3-compatible cloud storage will work.

“Love it or hate it, but tapes are here to stay, and we’re dedicated to improving life with them. We’re thrilled to provide IBM i systems with a money-saving cloud storage they deserve. As of now more organizations can achieve greater cost efficiency, better resiliency to ransomware, more of flexibility, and scalability when it comes to their backup strategy,” said Artem Berman, co-founding partner at StarWind.

Over 40,000 companies in the U.S. alone continue to rely on IBM i systems to power critical operations. Various sectors such as finance, banking, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications, logistics, government, and others heavily depend on the non-stop data processing that IBM i systems provide. Traditionally, these environments relied on IBM Backup, Recovery, and Media Services (BRMS) for tape backup processing. Although tapes are rock-solid, deadly-reliable, and provide best bang for the buck, they often present limitations in backup and restore performance. Tapes are evolving over the time, but any StarWind-powered all-flash VTL is always faster in both backup and restore. Cost-efficiency is another consideration, as while tapes are inexpensive, archival object storage in the cloud is even more budget-friendly for long-term data retention. Air-gapped immutability is an important component of ransomware resiliency, a crucial part of a comprehensive ransomware prevention and recovery strategy.

Algenol Biotech chose StarWind VTL because of its reasonable price and required functionality. It was easily integrated into the established backup and archival process of the company without any changes. In addition, StarWind VTL automated and secured offsite backup and archival by eliminating the human process, thereby determining the reliability of the backup process. StarWind VTL provided the much-needed backup solution for the control network of Algenol Biotech’s manufacturing plant, ensuring data protection and integrity, said Tom Ziegler, Network Systems Administrator at Algenol Biotech.

The seamless integration of StarWind VTL into existing BRMS-centric backup infrastructures enables organizations to introduce a disk & flash-based backup tier, which significantly improves backup and, especially, restore performance. Additionally, the built-in cloud storage tier enables the replication of backup and archive data to Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, and other cloud storage providers, allowing to cut down the long-term data retention costs. This approach not only boosts performance and cuts operational expenses but also capitalizes on existing hardware and backup processes, optimizing overall IT efficiency without duplicating efforts.

New locations enable Keepit and partners to guarantee data storage solution that complies with local Swiss laws and regulations

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – April 10, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Keepit, the market leader in cloud backup and recovery and provider of the world’s only vendor-independent cloud for SaaS data protection, today announces the opening of its first two data centers in Switzerland. Keepit is partnering with Equinix – one of the world’s leading green digital infrastructure companies – to operate the data centers. The new locations will enable Keepit to offer a data storage solution that complies with Swiss laws and regulations, for businesses inside and outside Switzerland.

“Our superior data center strategy enables Keepit’s customers to instantly recover lost or compromised data,” says Jakob Østergaard, CTO of Keepit. “Equinix data centers are known worldwide for their excellent security standards. With each site holding full copies of user data – with two mirrored physical locations – our customers can be assured that their data is always available, regardless of the status of their SaaS provider. Through this infrastructure, Keepit can guarantee that all customer data remains in place without transferring middleware to servers outside the regions. We are proud to be the first and only provider that can make this claim.”

As part of the steady growth in the space of Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and data recovery, Keepit has decided to invest in the new Swiss data centers. Due to the exponential increase in data volume – driven by networked technologies and digitalization – the need for secure and data protection-compliant backup solutions is also increasing. Keepit also has data centers in Germany, Denmark, UK, US, Canada and Australia.

The opening of the data centers underscores Keepit’s commitment to providing the fastest, most secure and efficient service to its growing customer base and partner network in Switzerland. The new locations will enable Keepit to offer locally stored seamless, low-latency data backup and recovery services for leading SaaS platforms such as Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Azure DevOps, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce and Zendesk.

Keepit’s unique infrastructure consists of multiple separate, mirrored data centers in each region, with each center operating in active-active mode; this means that data is continuously replicated between centers. In the event of a single system failure, or even in the unlikely event of the loss of an entire data center, the operation of the platform remains unaffected. Keepit customers’ data is therefore always available and can be restored at any time.

Keepit is working with Swiss IT consultancy firm Joker IT on this project. Joker IT considers Keepit’s new data centers a game changer for their Swiss customers who can now store their data locally, in compliance with Swiss regulations.

Yannic Graber, founder of Joker IT and Microsoft MVP, says: “With Keepit’s launch of Swiss data centers and with our expertise, we’re bringing the pinnacle of data privacy and compliance right to the heart of Switzerland. Together, we’re dedicated to empowering our customers with a cutting-edge SaaS backup solution that not only meets but exceeds the Swiss standards for digital workplace security.”

About Keepit
Keepit provides next-level SaaS data protection for companies with data stored in the cloud. Keepit’s vendor-independent cloud dedicated to SaaS data protection is based on a blockchain-verified solution. Keepit protects data in key business applications including Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure AD, Google, and Salesforce. Headquartered in Copenhagen with offices and data centers globally, Keepit is trusted by over ten thousand companies worldwide to protect and manage their cloud data.

The industry’s first searchable active archive leverages AI recognition to bring structure to unstructured data, enabling businesses to put their content to work

BOSTON, MA – April 09, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Wasabi Technologies, the hot cloud storage company, today introduced Wasabi AiR™, the industry’s first AI-enabled intelligent media storage. Wasabi AiR combines Wasabi’s high-performance, low-cost object storage with advanced AI metadata auto-tagging and multilingual searchable speech-to-text transcription. Video files uploaded to Wasabi AiR are immediately analyzed and a second-by-second metadata index is created, enabling users to quickly find what they are looking for. Wasabi AiR greatly reduces the cost of metadata creation: with Wasabi AiR, customers pay only for the storage. There is no additional charge for use of the AI.

In January, Wasabi announced its acquisition of Curio AI, a state-of-the-art AI platform designed specifically to analyze and index large video archives. Now users simply upload their video files to Wasabi AiR storage and the AI automatically goes to work generating a rich second-by-second metadata index. Wasabi AiR uses facial recognition, searchable speech-to-text, multi-lingual translation, speaker recognition, optical text recognition, logo identification, and sounds recognition with unparalleled accuracy. Video archives currently stored on tape can be uploaded to Wasabi AiR storage and formerly “dead” content can become a new source of revenue and user engagement.

Wasabi AiR is purpose-built for use cases including:

• Post-production: Quickly find and assemble video for news packages, highlight reels, social media content and more in real time to enable production teams to focus on creativity without being bogged down searching for content
• Sponsorship and marketing ROI: Find logos for sponsorship attribution with ease for ROI analysis
• Geo-diversity: Tailor content to specifically meet the requirements of geo-diverse audiences

“Wasabi AiR introduces a solution to a persistent 25-year-old challenge, combining AI-driven search capabilities with high-performance cloud storage,” said Dave McCarthy, research vice president at IDC. “This marks a transformative shift in media management, offering efficiency and accessibility for businesses dealing with massive unstructured data. Wasabi AiR represents a significant advancement in tackling the longstanding issue of managing extensive data archives, within a substantial market for intelligent media storage solutions.”

“Why move to the cloud if you still can’t find anything?” said David Friend, co-founder and chief executive officer, Wasabi Technologies. “Object storage without metadata is like a library without a catalog. Wasabi AiR works right out of the box and it’s as simple to use as popular search engines. For example, if it finds a face that it doesn’t recognize, it asks ‘Who is this?’ Using a simple UI, the user can train their own models. You can have tens of thousands of hours of video, and Wasabi AiR will take you right to the moment you are looking for. And you can search as much as you want – we only charge for the storage.”

Transformative Price Predictability and Performance Accuracy
Media organizations are operating under tighter deadlines and narrower profit margins and are looking for ways to speed production workflows while controlling costs. Wasabi AiR’s inexpensive, capacity-based pricing allows users the freedom to work with their content without being penalized with unpredictable fees for AI analysis, egress, or API requests, at a price up to 80% less than competitors. Both source files and metadata are owned exclusively by each customer – Wasabi never uses our customer’s proprietary data to train models that others can use. Files and metadata are secure and protected from ransomware, disasters or accidental deletions by Wasabi’s immutable storage and unique multi-user authentication.

“Wasabi AiR significantly reduces our manual efforts due to its seamless use of AI recognition technology to identify, organize and categorize files,” said Drew Crisp, Senior Vice-President of Digital at Liverpool Football Club. “At the club we handle extensive media content, and so this enhanced efficiency could really help us to locate specific content quickly and accurately within our archive, and create new content streams quickly, empowering our creativity and innovation. Wasabi AiR transcends mere storage; it will become another key to unlocking the full potential of our content.”

• Rubrik Threat Hunting is designed to accelerate safe recovery by determining the initial point, scope, and time of infection

• Rubrik Security Cloud – Government enhancements now include protection of new workloads, advanced access control measures, and additions to Data Threat Analytics

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 10, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — As government agencies increasingly fall victim to catastrophic cyberattacks, Rubrik, the Zero Trust Data Security™ Company, announces Rubrik Threat Hunting is now available to Rubrik Security Cloud – Government customers. Rubrik Threat Hunting empowers federal, state, and educational institutions to prevent malware reinfection with insights into the initial point, scope, and time of infection.

In the event of a malicious cyber event such as ransomware, speed is paramount to recovery and remediation. But as data continues to rapidly surge and sprawl across SaaS, cloud, and on-premises, organizations struggle to identify what systems were first affected before they can surgically and rapidly restore business continuity, without the risk of reinfection.

According to the most recent Rubrik Zero Labs State of Data Security report, 66% of IT and security leaders surveyed believe their organization’s current data growth is outpacing their ability to secure this data and manage risk. This can lead to delays in identifying the chronology of a cyberattack, and further delay overall incident response.

“Imagine recovering from a cyberattack, only to find out that your organization has accidentally reintroduced the malware back into the system. After the costly downtime, psychological impact, and reputational damage — you’re back at square one,” said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. “Pinpointing the point, scope, and time of the infection can be nearly impossible without the ability to analyze the history of data for indicators of compromise. Rubrik Threat Hunting provides this deep level of intelligence, designed to enable federal and state governments to be confident in their cyber recovery.”

Find Malware and Avoid Reinfection with Rubrik Threat Hunting
Now with Rubrik Threat Hunting, government entities can directly scan their backups for indicators of compromise, including ransomware. With this added intelligence, organizations can more accurately identify the last known clean copy of data in order to prevent reinfection during and after recovery. This allows organizations to verify the integrity of backups and other assets before restoration, and thereby adhere to The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s recently updated Cybersecurity Framework guidance as part of its Incident Recovery Plan Execution (RC.RP).

New Workloads and Enhancements to Data Threat Analytics and Data Protection
Rubrik also announces additional enhancements to Rubrik Security Cloud – Government, including:

Data Threat Analytics:

• VM encryption detection: Receive anomaly alerts for VM-level encryption activity, quickly assess the blast radius, and recover from such attacks.
• Anomaly Detection for Nutanix AHV and Microsoft Hyper-V: Assess the cyberattack blast radius and identify malicious activity, now available for two new workloads.

Data Protection:

• Quorum authorization: Enforce the requirement of getting quorum approvals for performing data-modifying actions in Rubrik Security Cloud – Government.
• Granular control over password complexity rules for local users: Set policies in Rubrik Security Cloud – Government that ensure users set strong, complex passwords and prevent password reuse.

Protection of New Workloads:

• IBM Db2 protection: Automatically discover and protect Db2 databases while unifying data protection with Rubrik Security Cloud – Government. Perform restore operations with your existing Db2 tools and processes.
• Microsoft Active Directory: Ensure the data users and applications need to authenticate and enforce access controls are readily available and quickly recoverable. Automatically discover and protect Active Directory data and support recovery of complete domain/domain controllers and individual objects.

Integration:

• Zscaler DLP integration: Discover and classify sensitive data out-of-band from production systems to more effectively prevent the loss of critical business data and double extortion ransomware.

To date, Rubrik Security Cloud – Government has achieved:

• StateRAMP™ certification
• “In Process” FedRAMP® status and attained security attestations for Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy and Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) security conformance

Rubrik has a long history of securing data for federal, state, local governments and educational institutions. Hundreds of state and local governments nationwide rely on Rubrik, including the Lewis County Public Utility District, San Joaquin County, and South Louisiana Community College.

LAB Technologies, an IT company in Tbilisi, Georgia, saves time by 50% and storage space by 56% with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

Sparks, NV – April 10, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — NAKIVO Inc., a fast-growing software company for protecting physical, virtual, and cloud environments, has announced today that LAB Technologies has selected NAKIVO Backup & Replication to protect their environment.

LAB Technologies has been operating in the technology industry for 15 years in Tbilisi, Georgia. The company delivers end-to-end digital transformation solutions for companies across industries.

The infrastructure of LAB Technologies is located on 1 site and is completely virtualized on VMware. It consists of 10 physical servers and 35 virtual machines, which store various applications, software, and demo labs. VM backup and recovery are extremely important as the company stores a large volume of data that belongs to their customers as well as their own product.

Not so long ago, the team at LAB Technologies was using VM snapshots instead of proper backups and were manually copying files. One day, they were shocked to find out that all the data had been scripted, and all the backups disappeared. The task of bringing everything back online and making systems available was daunting. Over four days, their systems were down. This had major repercussions on the company.

After that incident, the IT team decided to investigate dedicated backup solutions for VMware to improve their infrastructure’s resilience and recovery reliability. NAKIVO Backup & Replication was the top choice for the solution’s affordable pricing, user-friendly web interface, and excellent VM backup and recovery performance.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication can be easily deployed in a VMware environment, with the first backup job ready to run within minutes after installation and configuration. The product offers flexible deployment options on NAS devices, on Windows/Linux, as well as a VMware virtual appliance.

“Installation was pretty easy and completed within an hour,” says Archil Ivanishvili, Junior Infrastructure Solution Architect at LAB Technologies. “Firstly, when we started the installation, we did not use or read the user guide because the web interface was simple and user-friendly. Now, we installed NAKIVO Backup & Replication directly on a VM into our servers, and are using a Transporter that is connected to our QNAP NAS storage.”

NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides incremental, application-consistent backups using VMware’s Changed Block Tracking (CBT) technology for faster tracking of changed blocks of data. Moreover, the Global Data Deduplication feature optimizes storage usage and further reduces costs.

“We needed to back up 1.2 TB of data, and the backup took only 30 minutes to complete. We are using incremental backup every day and full backup once a week,” says Archil. “Global data deduplication and compression are also excellent, as the features helped us to save up to 56% of our storage space.”

“NAKIVO Backup & Replication also really helped us save time by using the job scheduler, which is amazing and easy to use. We can schedule incremental backups every day and full backups once a week, as the automation of this process is extremely convenient with NAKIVO,” says Archil.

In terms of recovery, NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers instant VM recovery and instant granular recovery. “We managed to recover all the deleted files at once with ease. It is critical for our company to be able to recover information quickly and reliably, “ says Archil.

NAKIVO Monitoring for VMware is included in the solution and allows LAB technologies to have complete visibility into their infrastructure and optimize performance while resolving issues proactively. The functionality allows customization of alerts, report generation, and metrics monitoring in real time.

“I enjoy VMware monitoring functionality the most as the feature provides all the necessary information I need to proactively monitor the health of our environment. We configure alerts to quickly detect suspicious activities in the environment, and we can also view different kinds of reports,” says Archil.

By selecting NAKIVO Backup & Replication as their preferred VM backup solution, LAB Technologies improved the performance of VM backup, saved storage space, and gained visibility into the health of their infrastructure. The solution also helped automate the process of scheduling and running backup jobs and simplified recovering VMs and individual files.

“NAKIVO Backup & Replication is pretty much our first backup solution, as previously, we were backing up files manually. The software saved time for us by 50%,” says Archil. “The fact that NAKIVO Backup & Replication is user-friendly and easy to use makes the solution perfect in my eyes. Even a non-IT guy can manage backup and recovery jobs without any extra help. The software is reliable and provides amazing support.”

– Further Strengthens Confidence in Secure Cloud Data Storage

– Strategic Collaboration to Reduce Risks for Enterprise Data Posed by Cyber Criminals

SAN JOSE, Calif. – April 09, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security and management, today announced it is collaborating with Intel to bring Intel’s confidential computing capabilities to the Cohesity Data Cloud. Leveraged with Fort Knox, Cohesity’s industry-leading cyber vault service, this data-in-use encryption innovation will be the first of its kind in the data management industry.

Together, Cohesity and Intel are solving one of the most pressing cybersecurity challenges for CIOs. Traditionally, options have been limited for protecting data in use while it is actively processed in memory, which can leave data unencrypted and vulnerable to insider attacks. Confidential computing enabled by Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) will support Cohesity customers to reduce the risk posed by potential bad actors accessing data while it is being processed in main memory. This is especially critical for highly regulated industries like financial institutions, healthcare, and government.

Cohesity’s flagship platform, Cohesity Data Cloud, has long included many proven and cutting-edge technologies to help the world’s largest organizations manage and secure their most critical data from cyber criminals. Cohesity and Intel are joining forces to reduce customers’ risk of cyber threat by:

• Creating a unique solution that will protect encryption keys that secure customer data in a hardware-secured environment leveraging Intel SGX for confidential computing in the cloud.
• This solution dramatically reduces the risk posed by data exfiltration, as the data is not viewable or downloadable by any privileged accounts when the data is being processed in memory as it is encrypted.
• Providing a way for Cohesity customers to verify that their Intel SGX is legitimate by using Intel® Trust Authority, which has the latest patches and only runs the dedicated Cohesity application before extracting the data encryption key.

“We are relentlessly focused on innovation that furthers our mission: To protect, secure, and provide insights into the world’s data. Collaborations with the biggest and most trusted names in tech, like Intel, are the reason why the largest global enterprises rely on us to strengthen their business resilience,” said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and President of Cohesity. “With Intel SGX, Intel Trust Authority, and confidential computing, our customers will benefit from reduced risk and increased security in cloud environments, allowing them to focus on what really matters, their business.”

“Intel is a pioneer and leader in data center confidential computing technologies, enabling customers, especially those handling sensitive or highly regulated data, to address their needs of confidentiality, integrity, and attestation for their workloads,” said Greg Lavender, executive vice president and chief technology officer at Intel Corporation. “Cohesity’s adoption of our technology reflects the growing customer need to protect critical data in the cloud and advances our common goal of delivering a secure computing environment combined with the trust customers expect.”

Cohesity at Intel Vision 2024
As a Bronze sponsor, Cohesity will host Intel Vision 2024 attendees in the Experience Lounge, booth number 110. There, they can learn more about Cohesity’s AI-powered data management and protection and cyber resilience solutions. The booth will feature a demonstration of confidential computing enabled by Intel SGX in the Cohesity Data Cloud. Kit Beall, chief revenue officer, Cohesity, will also participate in a panel discussion: “Intel Edge Platform: Enable Current & Future IoT Infrastructure for Edge AI,” April 9, 2024, 12:30 – 1:00 pm MT, in the Mesquite conference room.

About Cohesity
Cohesity is a leader in AI-powered data security and management. Aided by an extensive ecosystem of partners, Cohesity makes it easier to secure, protect, manage, and get value from data – across the data center, edge, and cloud. Cohesity helps organizations defend against cybersecurity threats with comprehensive data security and management capabilities, including immutable backup snapshots, AI-based threat detection, monitoring for malicious behavior, and rapid recovery at scale. Cohesity solutions can be delivered as a service, self-managed, or provided by a Cohesity-powered partner. Cohesity is headquartered in San Jose, CA, and is trusted by the world’s largest enterprises, including 44 of the Fortune 100.
