Cloudian’s S3 Object Lock Solution Wins 2020 NAB Show Product of the Year Award

Cloudian’s object storage-based Object Lock solution protects against the rapidly growing ransomware threat by enabling media and entertainment organizations to create immutable backups of content that are then invulnerable to hacker encryption or deletion. This immutability ensures availability of an uninfected copy of the content for reliable recovery in the event of a ransomware attack, eliminating the need to pay ransom.

Unlike offline tape storage which requires manual management and can entail significant recovery time, Object Lock can be fully automated using on-premises disk-based storage for trouble-free, lights-out operation.

Tape: Does it Measure Up?

An Insider’s Guide to Data Center Modernization

Historically, media and entertainment organizations have relied on LTO tape as the most economical option for long-term data archiving and backup — but that is beginning to change.

This insider’s guide touches upon various aspects of modernizing your data center, starting from the drawbacks of tape to alternatives like on-prem cloud storage, and what it takes to move from legacy, tape-based storage to an object storage platform such as Cloudian HyperStore.
