When setting up your storage architecture, there are lots of considerations. One of the most important is how you will handle backup and restoration. Traditionally, this requires installing some sort of proprietary backup software. However, that isn’t your only option anymore, and it may not be the best option based on your storage performance and storage disaster recovery requirements. We’ll talk about matching the right storage solutions to your backup needs in a moment. First, let’s consider the actual costs of downtime in the data center.
In this article, we examine several techniques and tools used to test storage performance in cloud environments such as AWS, Azure or other cloud environments. These techniques also apply if you are deploying “Software Defined Infrastructure” – or SDx – as part of your enterprise environment.
Storage performance could be one of the single most important factors when it comes to productivity, as well as user experience. Enterprises that are capable of eliminating latency and improving the speed at which users and applications can access vital data are able to maintain a high level of customer satisfaction, worker productivity, and user satisfaction. There are several exciting advances in the realm of storage that make it easier to provide high speed and performance, but getting the most out of your storage does require a little tweaking and adjusting on the part of IT. Here are a few ways to optimize your storage performance.
Preventing a cyber attack should be one of, if not the main goal of your IT department. Your press releases need to focus on things like your outstanding awards, exciting new product lines, and the addition of stellar new industry talent to your roster. You don’t want to be issuing press releases trying to explain how you leaked 1,500 customer identities or allowed other sensitive data to be exposed to the deep recesses of the Dark Web (like the much feared and dreaded Panama Papers) — or worse, published on the searchable Internet at large (Sony and Ashley Madison ring any bells?).
Of all the business cloud storage configurations possible, the hybrid cloud has gained popularity more rapidly than either private or public clouds. The private cloud can be costlier, not just in terms of acquiring the hardware and such, but also in terms of the time and effort it takes to manage and maintain. The public cloud is typically the cheaper and easier option, but may come with questions regarding whether these options comply with industry and/or federal and state regulations and how secure and transparent these cloud services are. That drives businesses to opt for the hybrid cloud solution, which gives you the power to keep your most sensitive and closely-guarded data under your own roof, while taking advantage of the low-cost and convenience of the public cloud for less sensitive and unregulated data. What are some ways to securing your hybrid cloud solution?
