Organizations around the world are experiencing the benefits of increased performance, continuous business operations and lower costs through server consolidation and virtualization. Many of them are now evaluating Hyper-converged systems and Software-Defined Storage to develop their next-generation storage architectures. Join this channel to hear industry and technical experts discuss the value of Hyper-converged and Software-Defined Storage and how you can take advantage of these technologies.

Maintaining uninterrupted IT operations under the constant threat of equipment failures, site outages, ransomware, and other cybersecurity threats requires new business continuity measures – particularly as the number, types and locations of data storage devices involved grows, and their importance escalates.

Those business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) practices that rely on the intrinsic resiliency of highly available devices tend to fail miserably in heterogeneous IT environments. What works in one storage system might not fit another, and their mutual incompatibilities make designing an overarching BC/DR plan all the more difficult.

Every master plan is created to fulfill specific demands. But what if you did not consider one or two unpredictable factors? 

This session will provide insights to help you maintain business continuity by adapting to unforeseen turn of events.

Business Continuity Measures for Volatile Times

The technical and business impact of the cloud is undeniable. In its simplest definition, the “cloud” is just another way to offer products and services that are managed and maintained by someone else on-demand.

As an IT professional, system integrator, value-added reseller, or service provider you now have access to the same cloud-native technology services and platforms as the major cloud providers. You have the ability to provide and manage your own storage services to achieve your business objectives whether that is to save money, create additional revenue sources, or keep data secure within your data centers.

In this educational webinar you will learn:

The role of object storage in as-a-service and cloud offerings
The differences between infrastructure, backup, disaster recovery and storage-as-a-service (IaaS, BaaS, DRaaS, and STaaS)  
Technical considerations when deploying your own as-a-service offerings
Business considerations when deploying your own as-a-service offerings
When it makes sense to provide your own as-a-service or use a third- party cloud service

Join Ryan Meek, Technical Director for DataCore, and Adrian J. Herrera, Object Storage Product Marketing Principal for DataCore as they cover these topics and learn how you can achieve your business objectives with object storage in the cloud.

The Role of Object Storage In As-a-Service and Cloud Offerings

Human error, infrastructure failure, malware, ransomware attacks, and natural disasters can all lead to data deletion or corruption. The repercussions of not properly protecting data include lost opportunities, stiff fines and penalties, major business disruptions, or even, in extreme cases, loss of life.

Therefore data backup, recovery, and protection solutions are routinely the largest budgetary expenses for data-driven organizations. But as data sets grow from hundreds of Terabytes to Petabytes, and data is created and consumed in distributed locations, how can you ensure proper data protection?

In today’s distributed world, it’s extremely important to understand why object storage provides the best defense against a wide range of issues and how to identify the right object storage solution for your organization. In this webinar, you will learn:

The best object storage software deployment approaches and how they help with malware and ransomware attacks
The difference between data replication and erasure coding on object storage and how they differ from RAID on NAS
The difference between proactive versus reactive data recovery techniques and why these matter at Petabyte scale
