ExaGrid – secure and immutable backup storage

ExaGrid works exclusively on secure, fast backup storage appliances. The goal is that your backup data is available whenever you need it.

Security 1.91 Backup and Recovery 2.14

HPE VM Essentials – Part 2

Part 1 covered where VME stood in mid-February. A few weeks on, a fair amount has changed, and we built a three-node VME cluster in our lab.

Virtualization 1.42

HPE VM Essentials – Part 1

HPE's own hypervisor, HPE VM Essentials, has been available in Europe since mid-February. Through the Morpheus Data acquisition, HPE has a proven KVM-based hypervisor.

Virtualization 1.42

Scality ARTESCA

ARTESCA from Scality is scalable, secure object storage delivered as a software-defined storage solution.

Backup and Recovery 2.14

Storage performance testing with vdbench

IOmeter is quick, but its data patterns do not suit a modern storage array. vdbench is the better tool, and this is how to configure it.

Storage 2.36

Infrastructure assessment with HPE CloudPhysics

Replacing your virtual infrastructure and unsure which resources are actually being used, and therefore needed next time round? CloudPhysics ends the guessing.

Monitoring 2.44

Storage performance testing with IOmeter

Every successful storage project ends with a storage performance test during system acceptance, checking the array, the storage area network and the hosts.

Storage 2.36

iTernity iCAS FS

iCAS FS from iTernity is a software-defined storage solution for secure, reliable, fast and scalable file, object and archive storage.

Backup and Recovery 2.14

Backup data is generally treated as the last line of defence, which makes protecting it properly that much more important.

Backup and Recovery 2.14

Veeam and S3 storage with ARTESCA

Ransomware attacks have become a persistent nuisance. Beyond securing network, servers and clients, the backup data has to be protected from tampering as the last line of defence.

Backup and Recovery 2.14

Securing your data with Veeam SureBackup

How secure is your backup? Have you ever asked yourself if your daily backups really deliver what they promise?
