Disaster Recovery and the Cloud: New Solutions for Offsite Data Protection
Traditional DR plans fail to adequately protect against irretrievable data loss be it from natural disaster, software corruption, hardware failure, or simple human error. An examination of current strategies, including tape and disk based solutions, as well as alternatives in the cloud, may help companies understand how best to prepare for catastrophe. Download this white paper and learn how offsite data protection in the cloud can meet your DR needs.
Understanding Security in Cloud Storage
Many businesses that could already be benefiting from cloud storage are holding back due to security concerns. The cloud offers the opportunity to significantly reduce cost while providing reliable, on-demand storage. While no environment is completely secure, cloud storage does not inherently increase security risks to your business. Much of the fear stems from a lack of understanding around cloud security and, simply, peoples’ natural reaction to any new technology. Our aim in this paper is to identify the major risks and to explore the security models that can be used to mitigate them. Download this white paper.
The Gateway to Cloud Storage
Nasuni creates a secure, high-performance link to cloud storage. The technology offers an alternative to present-day IT headaches through unlimited file storage capacity, automatic provisioning, hourly snapshots, fast restore of old files, high-performance caching, and end-to-end encryption of both data and meta-data. The technology encompasses the Nasuni Filer, a downloadable, easy-to-use virtual appliance, and the Nasuni Portal, a broad set of controls and monitoring services that set up and track the links to cloud storage providers.
This paper details how the Nasuni Filer and the Nasuni Portal establish Nasuni as the gateway to cloud storage. Download this white paper.
