Attacks can strike even the best-prepared, making it essential to mitigate the effects of a successful breach. In this webinar, we discuss how the cyber-attacks work and what are the key needs that are crucial to combat these challenges.
Four Technologies You Need to Protect Against Ransomware Ransomware attacks are on the rise, evolving in sophistication and scale, posing a major threat to businesses across industries. Organizations are facing a stark reality: it’s not a matter of if an attack will happen, but when. Cybercriminals continue to refine their tactics, targeting vulnerabilities in data … Read More
At Cloudian, we often tell customers that the secret to maximum performance is parallelism or multi-threading. The reality is that a single TCP stream to an S3 object storage system cannot take full advantage of the available bandwidth between the client and the Hyperstore cluster. While a Hyperstore cluster is capable of efficiently handling a large number of simultaneous uploads, a single upload on its own is far from optimal. In some workflows, it is possible to send multiple objects simultaneously; however, in many instances, users still need a way to optimize the performance of a single file upload or outgoing data stream.
Cloudian today announced that it will offer its enterprise-grade, fully native S3-API compatible object storage software for VMware Cloud Foundation™ with VMware Tanzu™. The integrated solution combines industry-leading VMware HCI platform and Cloudian HyperStore object storage into a single shared-nothing data platform, allowing IT operators to modernize their storage infrastructure, accelerate innovation and improve time to market with enhanced application portability. With this integrated solution, enterprises can run any application in a single storage environment, at any scale, on-prem and in the cloud, while also reducing storage costs by 60% or more.
Flash storage delivers great performance, but it’s expensive. Cloudian now offers an S3-compatible, all-flash solution that cuts cost by 2/3 vs other all-flash storage solutions. Choose from software-defined-storage or pre-configured appliances. Either way, it’s flash storage you can afford.
One of the key features of Kubernetes is the ability to dynamically scale your pods to the workload demand. These Pods are often self contained micro-services that have a specific job to do. But what if you want equally convenient access to similarly isolated storage? That’s just the problem the recently released Cloudian S3 Operator aims to solve!
In this blog, we take a look at an organization’s security considerations, specifically from a CIO’s perspective. Here are three questions every CIO should ask about data storage security.
Did you know that cyberattacks are one of the Top 10 most-likely global risks according to The World Economic Forum*? This includes ransomware attacks which are accelerating in frequency. Cyberhackers are increasingly targeting an organization’s backup data and holding this data hostage in exchange for a ransom payment. Ransomware attacks work by encrypting the user’s data, rendering it useless with an aim to harm the business. Organizations that are attacked and lose access to both primary and backup data stores have had to shut down, unable to operate. News of ransomware attacks also adversely impact organizations’ brand and reputation.
Last month, we announced the launch of Cloudian HyperIQ™, an observability tool for visibility and analysis of your Cloudian storage infrastructure. The reception has been great! In the last 6 weeks, we have worked extremely hard to roll out the features that we couldn’t include in v1.0. Here are 3 reasons why you should upgrade to v1.1.
This blog addresses the topic of the year and, frankly, one that will be with us for the foreseeable future: ransomware protection. Specifically, we will look at some of the misconceptions and myths regarding ransomware protection solutions and how IT departments around the world are implementing such solutions.
