Steps Companies Should Consider When Planning Their Cloud Architecture

At one time, recovering from backup alone was the first step in addressing ransomware. Today, though, what used to be the front line in the battle is now considered the last bastion of a defense-in-depth strategy that relies on detection, prevention, and, ultimately, the ability to recover. During this discussion, Scott D. Lowe, CEO of ActualTech Media, will share with you key insights into each of these critical elements of a comprehensive ransomware readiness strategy and help you identify ways to increase your organization’s resiliency.

Collaboration Challenges and Opportunities in a Hybrid World

TBWA is a unit of Omnicom Group, one of the world’s largest advertising agency holding companies. They are known as pirates – creative renegades who take risks and rewrite rules to come up with brave brand-building ideas for clients including Nissan, adidas, Henkel, Michelin and Gatorade. However, it’s hard to be creative when ideas cannot be easily shared. Files generated by TBWA’s creative teams are among the company’s most valuable assets. Storing, protecting, and sharing this creative content across the globe became a challenge as the agency grew to 305 offices in 98 countries. Join this fireside chat conversation with Don Pointing, global IT director for TBWA as he sits down with Jim Liddle, Nasuni vice president of product for a lively conversation around how Nasuni and the Nasuni Access Anywhere solution are enabling TBWA to reduce on-prem storage costs and improve collaboration across globally dispersed teams.

Advertising Leader Achieves Digital Transformation, Cost-Saving, & Hybrid Work

New digital innovations have pushed companies to reconsider their technology infrastructure, with many making the decision to utilize the cloud. As a result, cloud adoption is rampant: Gartner predicts that public cloud end-user spending would hit $495.7 billion this year, a growth of nearly $84 billion since 2021. Yet these cloud migrations can be complex and it’s not always a case of simply moving everything from one place to another. Instead, organizations must be strategic about how they approach their file storage — especially when choosing a cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure.

Microsoft Azure is a great choice when selecting a solution for storing, protecting, and accessing files, but IT leaders are often confused trying to sort through the various similar-sounding options. Some companies want to migrate from on-premises NAS, while others have been using Windows file servers or other file storage infrastructure. Making an informed decision on which solution will work best is the only way to ensure that your files stay safe, secure and accessible — whichever location you choose. 

In this webinar from the file data platform company Nasuni, industry experts will map out the decision making options for migrating file storage to Microsoft Azure. Tune in to hear more about: 

— Why leading companies are moving to cloud file storage in Azure
— The differences between Azure Files, Azure NetApp Files, and Azure Blob with the Nasuni File Data Platform
— The key considerations when identifying the right Azure storage solution
— And much more

Fireside chat with Arsenal Football Club: Winning with the Cloud

Running a file services infrastructure in a world where new ransomware attacks seem to be announced daily presents significant challenges. It is critical to ensure your file services can rapidly identify an attack so that you can respond quickly and effectively. In this webinar, we will take you through some of the important considerations to building a cyber resilient infrastructure. We will cover topics including incident detection, management, and mitigation. We will also demonstrate Nasuni’s Ransomware Protection capabilities and discuss how Nasuni will allow you to respond automatically to an attack, minimizing downtime and reducing the impact to your business.

Building a Cyber Resilient Infrastructure

The evolution of ransomware has spurred many organizations to focus on plans for recovering from attacks as quickly and efficiently as possible. Companies have relied on traditional backup to restore access to recent versions of data without having to pay the ransom from cyber-attacks. As more companies shift to the cloud, reliance on a traditional backup solution is no longer a sound strategy as they may require weeks to recover files and lack the scale needed to handle distributed attacks.
 
Join three cyber-security experts as they discuss the limitations of traditional backup when it comes to ransomware and how modern cloud solutions are stepping in to fill the gap when it comes to:
· Rapid file restoration
· Multi-site restoration
· Training, testing and preparing for attacks
· Predictable RPO’s and RTO’s that help your business manage risk
· Immutable file storage options other than tape

5 Reasons Why Traditional Backup Doesn’t Work During a Ransomware Attack

Today’s business climate is requiring every enterprise to re-evaluate their Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and remote work support. Files are at the center of everything employees do, and to support work-from-home flexibility, the need for fast, effective file sharing has never been greater. Knowledge workers must be productive, even as they work from hundreds or thousands of different locations. Learn how cloud-based file services from Nasuni combined with Azure, AWS, or Google cloud storage delivers instant unlimited scale at a much lower price while keeping workers connected. In this webinar, you’ll hear best practices on how to scale work-from-home file infrastructure, extend fast access to corporate file shares from any location, and simplify remote file access for IT.
