Exploring StorONE's Innovative Storage Solutions for Enterprise

3-2-1 means nothing without a comprehensive plan

Losing all or some of your data from a ransomware attack can destroy a business. And even worse, according to Cybereason, over 80% of businesses who are attacked and pay the ransom get attacked again within 30 days. 

You need to make sure your primary data and backup data is protected and you have a recovery strategy in place. 

This webinar will talk about the multifaceted requirement for a ransomware protection system and plan that will make sure your data is safe, and can be restored quickly - without paying the ransom.  

In this webinar, we will answer questions such as: 
   * Why is a 3-2-1 approach alone not enough? 
   * How should I craft a plan that can fit into the broader picture?
   * What are the guiding principles of a data protection plan? 
   * Why would a complicated backup scheme make recovery more complicated?

How to Create a 360° Ransomware Recovery Plan

Ransomware, data theft, hardware failure, and natural disasters are some of the threats to your data. Backup is your “restore of last resort,” used when everything else fails, but it is time-consuming and can’t always recover all your data. 

Features like encryption, replication, immutability, and others are available to help organizations defend against these threats, but they all require proper implementation and preplanning to be effective. Organizations need to develop a data resiliency plan that protects their data against these threats and lessens the dependence on backups while reducing costs. 

Join StorONE’s Chief Product Strategist, George Crump, and Solutions Architect, James Keating, as they review the data threat list and how to design a multi-level data resiliency plan to ensure continuous data access regardless of the threat the organization faces. Learn what data resiliency features you need and how to implement them properly.

Beat Ransomware - How to Turn a Data Protection Double Play

Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems are the backbone of most organizations' data storage infrastructures. IT uses NAS for user files, backup data, archive storage, and even to host production VMware and database environments. 

However, this mix of workloads is forcing organizations to refresh their NAS systems prematurely. IT needs a better NAS that can support various workloads, is protected from ransomware attacks, and is flexible enough to last for more than ten years. 

Join StorONE's Chief Product Strategist, George Crump, as he reviews the challenges that make the lives of IT professionals overly complicated while risking organizational data. By attending the event you will learn how to design a Better NAS that can overcome these challenges and become the long-lasting foundation of the organization's storage infrastructure.

How to Build a Better NAS

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) have one fundamental goal, to profitably increase monthly recurring revenue (MRR). The challenge is each new service offering requires another storage system, and as the offering gains in popularity, they need to purchase more storage systems to support more new customers.
Join StorONE for our live webinar "Increase MRR by Reducing Storage Complexity" to learn why current legacy storage systems make adding additional services so costly and how to overcome these limitations to enable additional services and increase customer density while containing costs.
MSP Infrastructure Planners Will Learn:
1. The Common Storage Infrastructure Strategies
2. How "Blue-Chip" Storage Vendors fall short
3. How "Start-Up" Storage Vendors fall short

MSPs — Increase MRR by Reducing Storage Complexity

There is no denying that storage infrastructures are too complex. The problem is that solving complexity is often more expensive than the problem itself and opens IT up to user complaints. How do you reduce that complexity without breaking the bank or compromising the quality of service? Storage complexity results from day-to-day operational challenges, data protection difficulties, and the lack of a practical solution for storage consolidation.

Join StorONE on September 28th at 1:00 pm ET / 10:00 am PT for our live webinar "Three Steps to Reducing Storage Complexity. During the webinar, we will discuss the primary causes of storage complexity and then provide three steps to eliminate them.

Three Steps to Reducing Storage Complexity

All-Flash Arrays (AFAs) capture headlines and make storage vendors' lives easier, but they are hard on the IT budget. Organizations are told they have no choice if they want consistent production-class performance and advanced data services.

All-Flash vendors justify their premium pricing based on three myths:
1. All-Flash Has reached price parity with HDD
2. HDD RAID Rebuilds are too slow
3. Hybrid Performance is too inconsistent

Join StorONE on September 7th at 1:00 pm ET and 10:00 am PT for our live webinar "Debunking the Top Three All-Flash Myths" with StorONE's Chief Product Strategist and former industry analyst, George Crump, to learn how a Hybrid Storage Solution powered by the StorONE engine can bust these myths. A StorONE Hybrid solution can deliver consistent production-class performance and rapid HDD rebuilds (25x faster than competitors) at dramatically lower pricing than AFAs.

The Top Three All-Flash Myths…Debunked!

Join StorONE on August 10th for our live webinar "Understanding Storage Software Architectures" to learn why most of today's storage systems can't take advantage of innovative storage hardware. We’ll explain why our competitors force you to buy more flash drives than you should need for performance and more hard disks than you need to meet your capacity demands. The inefficiencies of storage software architectures raise your cost to acquire and manage storage while forcing you into a never-ending cycle of refreshing and replacing storage systems. 

During the webinar, we will discuss: 

• What is the Storage IO stack?

• How the Storage IO stack stifles storage hardware innovation 

• The Impact of Inefficient storage software Architectures 

• How storage software architectures need to change so IT can tap into the full potential of today’s hardware, and tomorrow’s hardware innovation

World Backup Day - Beat the High Cost of Backup Storage with an On-Prem Cloud

Ransomware attacks are now using three new exploits to force you into paying the ransom. Bad actors know that you will resort to your backups in response to an attack. As a result, modern ransomware malware deploys three new exploits:
     1. Target the protected data that the backup architecture stores
     2. Target backup software metadata and configuration files
     3. Target the recovery process to slow it down to where it seems easier to pay the ransom 

These three exploits leave the backdoor open and increase your vulnerability. The cause of these vulnerabilities is legacy backup storage systems that are decades old and can’t possibly keep up with these new threats. Join StorONE’s CMO and former industry analyst, George Crump, to learn more about these three exploits and how to close the back door on Ransomware. 

Join us live on March 17th at 1:00 pm ET / 10:00 am PT.

Three NEW Ransomware Exploits - How to Close the Backdoor

VMware's stretch cluster does an excellent job of protecting against a site failure. If your primary data center fails then it is easy to bring up VMs in the second site. But what if you need more? How can you extend VMware's stretch cluster capability from single site protection to multiple sites? What if you want to extend recovery into the cloud? A multi-site and multi-cloud data distribution strategy not only creates more resilient IT operations, it also empowers workload mobility. 

In this live webinar Storage Switzerland and Hedvig will discuss the limitations of VMware stretch cluster, the possibilities of a more highly available approach and how to achieve complete IT resiliency.
