The Gorilla Guide to Modern Data Protection
Welcome to The Gorilla Guide To…® Modern Data Protection.
In an age where people go online for everything from dog toys to paying utility bills, continuity of online presence and uninterrupted access to an organization’s data are of vital importance. So is protecting that data from unwanted and unauthorized access and alteration.
This guide aims to provide executives, business and organization stakeholders, and IT managers and technical leads with the information they need to make sense of modern data protection. It also explores the key roles that storage solutions, software, and programmable APIs play in providing cloud-friendly, flexible, and adaptable solutions.
Because users are more inclined to conduct business in a variety of digital forms than ever before, the data they wish to access jumps to the forefront of what lets organizations and businesses function. That’s because data is what drives applications and services. Likewise, data is where insights and value ultimately originate, and data is what organizations must manage, control, and protect to meet legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements.
When it comes to business continuity, the name of the game is to get back online as quickly as possible. That’s because time is money when it comes to downtime. Use of proper, modern tools and technologies also means that automation serves to speed recovery times. In fact, automation also supports regular practice and testing for business continuity to ensure that recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) requirements are realistic and attainable. Legacy models for backup and recovery really can’t cut it anymore, because they’re not able to provide the flexibility and recovery speed (or failover to avoid recovery) that modern businesses need.
INSIDE THE GUIDE:
• How fash devices change the backup and recovery game
• The critical importance of cloud-based platforms and technologies for modern IT, including data protection and recovery
• Key industry trends driving modernization and adoption of flash-based storage technologies
