Designing a Bad A$$ Backup Target without Breaking the Bankmarketingunitrends
Backup storage is a critical component of any enterprise data protection. Most people want to throw their backups at the oldest piece of hardware they own, but they quickly see that doesn’t work out very well. So what are the best ways to design a cost-effective backup target?
Data needs are growing exponentially and some of those “on-the-surface” prices from the hyperscale providers such as AWS and Azure are really tempting. But when you add network fees, data retrieval fees, and the compounding cost of data storage for long term retention, your total spending may shock you.

Ransomware: Why Are Backup Vendors Trying To Scare You?marketingunitrends
Ransomware. The very word strikes fear into the hearts of admins, backup specialists, and security pros. Backup software vendors know if all your data is not protected, there is a good chance that if (when?) ransomware hits, you will most likely lose data. But, what should scare you more is less than half of ransomware victims fully recover their data, even with backup. What can you do to make sure you are not on the wrong side of a statistic?
Are you tired of paying the VMware tax? Are you stuck in a Veeam virtual data protection prison? It's time to move beyond these outdated "virtual only" solutions.

Similar to Data Is Evolving. Shouldn’t Your Backup Architecture? (20)
The number one cause of IT downtime is your employees, not an external threat. They inadvertently delete files, click on ransomware bait, hoard data and don’t test new software adequately. Your data backup and recovery solution probably does an okay job of protecting you from external threats but how is it against more common employee issues?
With downtime costs reaching $9,000 per minute, Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is one of the hottest use cases for leveraging the cloud. However, with so many options and a finite budget, it's difficult to find the critical capabilities that will help you sleep at night.
With no moving parts to wear out, top speeds in the 3,000 MB/sec range, and sales expected to hit $229.5 billion in 2022, SSD technology adds yet another component to your ever evolving digital world and you need to know how to protect it.
Some statistics claim that 75-80% of workloads run on virtual servers but most organizations have large numbers of legacy and physical servers that are not virtualized, including some of their most mission critical applications. Many workloads are moving to the cloud. While not all workloads are equal, they do all matter.

Protect the Hype: Backup Best Practices for Converged & Hyperconverged Infras...marketingunitrends
Infrastructure is getting smaller through convergence. Cisco UCS exploded in the market by reducing infrastructure components and footprint. Hyperconverged vendors like Nutanix are taking that concept even further – talking about “invisible infrastructure.” The shifts in delivery of storage, compute, networking and virtualization create huge opportunities to improve delivery and TCO, but they can also make you want to tear your hair out trying to protect it all.
Reports like the new DCIG Backup Appliance Buyers’ Guide cover how you can eliminate the time and effort needed to deploy and manage multiple disjointed products across vendors. But what exactly should you look for in a backup appliance and what features can you not live without?

An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

Thanks
I appreciate you joining today
Hope not to take too much of your time
And if we’re lucky, I’ll have helped you learned some interesting things for organization’s backup and continuity needs
The key question for this webinar topic –
how does your choice of backup solution affect your ransomware situation
This isn’t even a complete view
Missing new storage trends like hyperconverged storage
We even expect a single copy of data to do more
Here we talk about copy data management
CDM: Makes data easier to use while reducing storage consumption

Ransomware is here to stay: $1B
Government: 4000 attacks released daily
Expected to continue and evolve
We even have RaaS
Talk about board level conversation and how it is causing CIOs and CSOs to think a lot more about backup
Plug the eBook
Ransomware targets Windows predominantly
Many folks that were hit by ransomware had their backups impacted as well
This is because many incumbent backup solutions are also Windows based
The new approach is a hardened, locked down, purpose-built backup appliance (often one that is a hybrid cloud appliance)

And that’s where our idea of all-in-one enterprise backup and continuity comes into play.
I like to talk about these from an old world / new world perspective because some of the traditional ways of handling things can have a few extra challenges. So we want to highlight how we’re different.
For example, most solutions today require you to pull together multiple vendors, which adds finger pointing, more setup and a lot of manual tuning to get things just right.
Sometimes that can mean you’re using more products to get the capabilities that you really need.
Additionally, with Windows being the OS used for most backup vendors today, the threat of Ransomware impacting all your backups becomes much higher.
Backup should be your insurance policy. You don’t want to have to fight the same fires with your backups that you do in production.
And ultimately, the old world concept makes it very difficult to support with high customer satisfaction, which hurts confidence.
Contrast that with where we think we play in the New World and the all-in-one approach.
One vendor
Really quick setup and no manual tuning needed because everything is preintegrated.
Really broad capabilities cover you locally, at second sites and in the cloud, with some really advanced automation for recovery that we call recovery assurance. We’ll talk about that more in a bit.
And our solutions are hardened, locked-down, Linux appliances that aren’t as susceptible to attacks as the Windows vendors
And finally….we’ve had a 98% customer satisfaction rating for years. It’s just one support call.
[note: you want to read this slide a bit…normally not good practice, but it is key to set the stage about old vs. new world in order to differentiate]
When you look at backup and DR on the left side, you might have different vendors and products all the way through the stack. And the stack is more complex now with so many people leveraging cloud-based solutions for offsite backup and failover. We bring it all together in a single vendor and interface. The hardware and software comes fully loaded in our Recovery Series appliances and it can optionally integrate with the Unitrends Cloud for offsite storage, long-term compliance and even full failover. That Recovery Assurance piece at the top is pretty unique too. It means we’ll actually do automated testing of your DR plan every month and send you a report of how we did. You don’t have to lift a finger. Which is a big part of how we prove we can legitimately provide a 1-hour SLA in our cloud.
That pretty much how we deliver the benefits on the left side there.
We support a number of cloud options, including AWS, Azure and even Google.
However, we also have our own purpose-built cloud for long-term retention and full DRaaS
Not saying that AWS and Azure are bad, but there can be big limitations with respect to getting any type of SLA for recovery.
Getting bulk data in and out can also be a challenge. They have services for this, but you have to hope your vendor supports these properly.
So you’re back to the whole finger-pointing situation again.
And of course, they aren’t going to act as a partner when it comes to setting up and fulfilling a DR strategy.
In the Unitrends Cloud, you’re back to a single vendor, single interface, since support call.
We cover both physical Windows and virtual machines running in VMware and Hyper-V
We have full recovery assurance, meaning we’ll actually automate testing and prove it all works.
And we back that with a real SLA – not a promise. We give you something in writing.
Of course, we also have a great service for bulk seeding data in and coming back out from the cloud.
Backup solutions can play a bigger part in your anti-ransomware strategy than you might have thought
Some of these steps are covered by most solutions
However, you’ll see some of the best solutions out there handling all of these in a unique way
and I highlighted those in blue
Plus our support is 24x7 as a standard offering. We don’t have a lower level of support. And it’s all 100% US based and co-located with our R&D team to give us the best chance of fixing issues fast. That’s very different than what you see in the old world where a lot of vendors still live.
